How to Install the Cruise Control Lever on a Volkswagen Tiguan That Doesn't Have It

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Dashboard

Install the cruise control lever on your Tiguan that lacks this feature. First, disconnect the battery. Pull the steering wheel towards you and turn it fully to the right, then fully to the left. Use a mirror to see the two holes above and below to release the airbag by pulling down the clip. Release the airbag by disconnecting the two connectors. To remove the steering wheel, you need a special 12 mm socket with a ratchet and an extension. Be careful of the alignment mark! Remove the two covers from the steering column (the lower one is a bit more complicated). Remove the small T8 screw under the steering column. Remove the old lever. Install the new one with its mechanism connected. You can find this lever on Amazon (price not specified). Now reassemble everything in reverse order. Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Activate it using the OBDeleven app, and our YouTuber will show you all the steps clearly.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
