Removing the door panel of the Passat? Here’s how to do it. Detach the plastic cover under the window, unscrew the screws located in its space. Unscrew the screws around the door panel and detach the securing clips.

Finally, pull the panel away by hand and disconnect it from the door (disconnect the power wiring and the opening cable). Perform the desired maintenance inside the door.

You can reassemble the same panel or fit a new one. Connect the electrical connectors first and then everything else.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
