How to Adjust the Injectors on the Volkswagen Golf 5

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Fuel injectors

To adjust the load of the injectors, follow these steps: First, remove the engine cover to access the rockers that transfer motion from the camshaft to the injector pump. Position the cam that actuates the injector pump at its top dead centre, which means the injector pump is at its bottom dead centre. At this point, tighten the injector adjustment screw until you feel a distinct resistance, then loosen it by 180°. Proceed in the same manner for the other injectors.

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.
