Part: Starter motor
Operation: How to replace the starter motor of a Volkswagen Golf

Before we can start, we will have to go and open the front hood of our Volkswagen Golf. The starter motor is located on the lower right side of the engine block. Let's start by removing the battery and its support base, simply by disconnecting the two poles and removing the fixing bolts. By doing so, we will have reached the starter motor. We then proceed by disconnecting the relative electrical connector, and then unscrewing and removing the fixing bolts. By doing so, we will have freed the starter motor, which we can remove, and we will have finished the disassembly. To mount the new motor and reassemble the battery, all we have to do is repeat these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
