This video shows how to replace the number plate bulb on a Passat B6. It is a very simple operation that should take no more than five minutes. Open the boot and using a crosshead screwdriver, unscrew the light unit located directly in the centre above the number plate.

Once the light unit is removed, pull out the bulb from the two slots and insert the new one. Refit the light unit into its housing exactly as it was before and screw in the two screws to secure it. At this point, close the tailgate and test the light by activating the side lights.

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.
