In this video, we will see how to change the high-pressure fuel sensor on a Volkswagen Golf VII: we can find the part, for example, on auto-doc. It has the code 7135-818 at the price of 95.28 euros + 9.95 euros for shipping (carefully check the compatibility of the part).

We remove the cover of the engine block, locate the position of the damaged part, disconnect the electrical connector, loosen the nearby screw to create more space, and with a 27mm wrench, we unscrew the sensor: place a piece of paper or a cloth because a little diesel will likely come out. We install the new part, reconnect the connector, and tighten the screw we had previously loosened.

We can put the engine cover back on.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
