How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Volkswagen Transporter

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Timing belt

You can replace the timing belt on a Volkswagen Transporter by opening the bonnet and removing the obstructing parts located on the left side of the engine block. Once these have been removed, detach the plastic covers on the side of the engine to access the pulleys. You will need to loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley, reduce the tension of the belt, and remove it completely, replacing it with a new spare part. After installing the new belt, all removed parts can be reassembled, ensuring they function correctly.

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.
