How to Replace the Heater Radiator in the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Heater core

To replace the cabin heater radiator in the Volkswagen Polo, you need to completely dismantle the dashboard to access the components inside: first, remove the glove compartment, then dismantle the steering wheel and the instrument cluster, and subsequently detach all the plastic trims that form it. At this point, you will locate the radiator connected to the appropriate pipes: by disconnecting it and removing the connectors, you can insert the new replacement part and reassemble all the removed components.

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.
