How do you replace the struts that open and close the trunk in the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Body

Below you will find information on how to replace the brackets that open and close the trunk of your Volkswagen Polo. First, as seen in the video, we remove the old and worn brackets one by one. Removing them is very simple, just use a flathead screwdriver to pry on the fastening clip and with a small pull remove the bracket from the pin to which it is attached. This procedure must be done both above and below and repeated for both brackets. Once the worn bracket is removed, we proceed to install the new one, always fitting it as shown in the video. Again, using the screwdriver, we secure the bracket to its pins. Repeat the procedure on the other side and the job is done.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
