This guide shows how to remove the internal lock located in the rear door of a VW Golf. Insert a metal key into the slot on the door (side panel), then use a plastic lever to remove the cover of the handle located to the right. Extract the lock from the door, then slide the handle off the car's panel.

Remove all perimeter screws around the door; take off the metal panel (as shown in the video). Disassemble the central locking mechanism from the door; disconnect the connectors.

Insert the new lock into the door and cover it.

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.
