Replace the damaged wiper blades on the Golf 5. Take the front wiper blade (to be replaced) with your hands, pull the movable blade as shown in the video, and slide it off the arm on the windscreen. Fit the new blade onto the arm (if the blade is not original, detach the piece as shown in the video), and you will hear a click indicating it is secured.

Finally, lower the wiper arm onto the windscreen and perform the same operation on the second blade. Operate the control levers and check the functioning of the blades.

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.
