Throttle Body Replacement Instructions

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Throttle body

Replacing the throttle body is quite simple and does not require special tools; start by removing the plastic cover on the engine, noting that in this model it integrates the air filter housing, so it is necessary to disconnect the intake duct hose, the vacuum tube, and the connector for the related sensor before lifting it. Once the cover is removed, the throttle body is clearly visible, and to replace it, simply disconnect the relevant connector and unscrew the fixing screws; then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one.

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.
