How to refill the windshield washer fluid on the BMW iD3.

Model: Volkswagen Id 3 MK 1 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

The windshield washer opening and refill system of the BMW iD3 is similar to that of many other modern vehicles, except that it is pressurized. Therefore, it is important not to open the cap immediately after using the washer; we must wait a few minutes. The tank cap is a screw-on type. As with all modern vehicles, it is absolutely not recommended to use water, as it could damage the pipes and the windshield. The tank is located on the left side of the engine compartment and has a blue cap; removing the cap is the critical operation: before unscrewing it, we need to press the washer lever inside the car for a few seconds. This will release the residual pressure in the system. This will allow us to carefully unscrew the blue cap counterclockwise. If we still hear a slight hissing of pressure, we should wait another 30 seconds.

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.
