This guide shows how to remove the external wing mirror from a Volkswagen Golf Mk4. The first step is to remove the trim plastic from the handle to expose two fastening screws that need to be unscrewed. On the door side with the hinge, it is necessary to unscrew one screw; you also need to unscrew the three Torx screws located at the bottom of the inner panel.

At this point, using a trim removal tool, detach the clips securing the inner door panel; it is not necessary to disconnect the panel connections. Remove the fastening screw for the speaker housing and move the insulating foam protecting the mirror bolt.

Using a Torx T30 screwdriver, unscrew the mirror fastening bolt; disconnect the electrical cable from the mirror and remove the old part. Reassemble the parts removed so far and check the proper functioning of the replaced part.

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.
