Remove the gear knob from the New Beetle. Let's see how to detach the damaged part and fit the new one. Use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame, then unclip the metal clip.

Grip the knob and rotate it left and right until it comes off the gear stick. Take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console, securing it in place: fasten the metal clip.

Finally, test the movement of the stick in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly fitted. Install a knob of the same type as the one removed.

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.
