Replacing the Rear Brake Discs on a Polo 9N

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Brake rotors

Want to replace the rear brake disc on your Polo? Here’s how to remove the disc from the rear of the car. Lift the vehicle with a jack and remove the wheel. Unscrew the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Remove the brake pads and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc (using a Torx screwdriver), then pull the disc towards you to slide it off the hub. Fit the new brake disc with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then refit the brake caliper. Replace the other rear disc if it is damaged.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
