Today, learn how to remove the ignition switch from the unique Volkswagen Golf Plus. Although the video is quite basic, it serves its purpose well. Once you carefully remove the plastics covering the steering column, locate the ignition switch.

Using two tools like a large nail and a needle, proceed as shown in the video by inserting them at the sides of the switch. Next, disconnect the electrical connections from the switch and apply an outward flex on the tools inserted previously at the sides of the switch to act as a puller.

The switch has been extracted and is ready for replacement.

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.
