Video tutorial

In this tutorial video, you will see how to replace the analogue speedometer with a digital one in the Volkswagen Golf 7. The first thing you need to do is open the slot located on the side near the door; once you have removed the cover, you will have access to the clips of the air vent.

Simply push with your finger to pull out the vent, and use a small lever to pry it out. Once the air vent is removed, you need to take off the plastic cover around the climate control buttons by prying with the plastic lever.

Remove the plastic below the analogue speedometer and unscrew the Torx screws. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the speedometer towards you with both hands.

After removing the speedometer, you can replace it with the digital one.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
