The fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle, at the rear left, next to the tank: lift the vehicle and apply suitable axle stands. Unscrew the retaining clip of the filter, disconnect the fuel inlet and outlet pipes by pressing on the retaining tab. Then, fit the new filter, ensuring the fuel flow direction is respected (indicated by an arrow on the filter itself), tighten the retaining clip, and reconnect the pipes.

Start the engine to ensure fuel flows correctly through the new filter.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
