Today, we will see in this video tutorial how to remove the front door lock on a fifth-generation Volkswagen Golf. First, open the front door and unscrew the side fixing screws to unlock the lock; then, using a very thin tool from the outside, pry out the lock cylinder and, if desired, the handle, as shown in the video.

Unscrew all external screws to remove the outer door panel and access the lock module; then, simply disassemble the mechanism by unscrewing the fixing screws and disconnecting the electrical connector!

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.
