Replacing damaged spark plugs on a VW Polo? Let’s look at the disassembly of the spark plugs. Open and lift the front bonnet, remove the soundproofing panel.

The spark plugs are located under the plastic coils. Disconnect the coil by hand (grip it and twist it to extract it from the cylinder head).

Unscrew the spark plugs with a socket wrench (extract them from the cylinder head) and take the new spark plug, inserting it into the engine head with the socket wrench. Refit the coil on top of the spark plug.

Replace all the spark plugs. After replacement, reattach the engine cover panel.

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.
