Removing the Bumper on a New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Front bumper

Is the front bumper of your New Beetle broken? Do you want to replace it? Start by lifting the front bonnet, then unscrew the retaining screws located at the top of the bumper. Once the screws are removed, take off the front lights by unscrewing the screws inside the right and left wheel arch liners (lift the car on a column lift). After removing all the screws, detach the bumper from all its parts. Disconnect the connectors of the indicator lights. Fit the new bumper starting from where you finished, connecting the electrical connectors.

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.
