First, lift the car to remove the wheel affected by the issue. Use a flat screwdriver to remove the plastic cover and unscrew the fixing bolts.

Free the bolts on the back of the brake caliper from the dust cap, unscrew them, and then remove the caliper. Remove the brake disc by unscrewing the two Allen screws and, if possible, disconnect the ABS sensor.

Now unscrew the central nut of the driveshaft, free the joint from the steering axis, and unscrew the bolts that secure the joint. Proceed to replace the worn part and follow the reverse procedure to reassemble everything.

This procedure is suitable for the Volkswagen Polo 1.4 16v.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
