Location and Diagram of the Fuse Boxes on the Volkswagen Golf MK1

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 1, MK 1 - Years 1974-1983
Part: Fuse box

The location of the fuse boxes on the Volkswagen Golf MK1 produced between 1981 and 1984 may vary depending on the version and the market it was intended for. In this video, we see the only box located under the dashboard (driver's side), which is the most common position. It is found to the left of the steering wheel, behind a small cover or plastic protection. In some versions, it may be placed lower, near the pedal area. Another common position is behind the glove compartment, which requires removing the compartment and the internal covering by unscrewing the screws that hold it. On Cabriolet versions, there are additional relays positioned in an upper row compared to the main fuse box.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
