In this tutorial, you will see how to replace the battery in a Volkswagen Tiguan, a very simple operation. First, ensure that the key is not inserted, then open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover of the battery.

Next, undo the lower fixing bolt using a long 13mm socket spanner, then disconnect both terminals, starting with the negative, by unscrewing the respective nuts with a 10mm spanner. At this point, you can remove the old battery and install the replacement by following the reverse procedure.

Remember to reconnect the positive terminal first.

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.
