How to Replace the Heater Radiator on a Volkswagen Polo?

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

The heater radiator on a Volkswagen Polo is located inside the dashboard, so you will need to completely dismantle it to access it. To remove the radiator, first, take off the steering wheel by unscrewing the screws that secure the central airbag, then remove the central nut that secures it to the column. Next, proceed by removing the central panel and the glove compartment from the passenger side; at this point, the cabin heater radiator will be visible and can be removed by unscrewing the screws and disconnecting the pipes.

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.
