Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the starter motor of the Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI. First, let's open the car's hood and start by removing the battery, disconnecting both terminals (positive and negative) and unscrewing the battery bracket screw; then we will remove the air filter box, as shown in the video.

At this point, we will unscrew the upper mounting screws of the starter motor, lifting the vehicle to later unscrew the lower ones; we will disconnect the electrical wiring to remove it and replace it with the new one!

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
