To replace the timing belt on a Volkswagen Passat, open the bonnet to access the components on the left side of the engine block. Here you will find the washer fluid reservoir, which needs to be removed to ensure access to the pulleys.

By unscrewing the central pins and particularly removing the tensioner pulley, you can slide off the belt and replace it with a new part. After the new belt is fitted, reassemble the pulleys and other previously removed parts.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
