Part: Service warning light

The procedure we are about to see allows us to reset the service light on a Volkswagen Golf MK4, which is the fourth version of this model produced and sold between 1997 and 2003. To begin, locate the button on the right side of the dashboard and hold it down while turning the key to switch on the instrument panel. Immediately after, use the left button and rotate it as shown in the video and turn off the panel.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
