Fitting the Fuel Flap on a Volkswagen Golf Mk5

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Fuel cap

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to fit the fuel flap on a Volkswagen Golf Mk5. First, remove the old flap and take off the cover of the fuel inlet by prising it off the sides and unscrewing the fixing screw; then remove the pipe from the cover. At this point, refit the new cover with the new fuel flap, connecting the pipe first, and ensure it fits perfectly in its place by tightening the Torx fixing screw: all that's left is to connect the plastic cable to the cap and you're done!

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
