In this guide, you will see the main instructions on how to remove and replace the coolant temperature sensor from the engine of the Volkswagen Golf 1.6 16V. First, open the car's bonnet and start removing the upper plastic cover; you will find the temperature sensor at the bottom right, removing the metal clip of the sensor to detach it afterwards (allowing the coolant to drain into a container), as illustrated in the video.

At this point, replace the coolant temperature sensor with the new original one.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
