Before proceeding with the alternator removal, disconnect the battery terminals to avoid accidental short circuits and position the vehicle on a lift, as it will be necessary to work from underneath. Start by removing the engine air filter box, then proceed to dismantle the metal protection covers located in front of and below the alternator (there is an air deflector at the bottom).

Unscrew the fastening bolts of the alternator to allow it to slide on the belt adjustment slots and remove the belt. Finally, free the wiring from the grommet and extract the alternator.

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.
