Learn how to easily remove the external handle of a Volkswagen Golf VI. Access the thickness of the door to reach the internal screw that secures the lock. Use a cross-head screwdriver to do this.

Once the screw is released, the lock cylinder will also come out easily. Be careful not to drop the screw inside the door, or you won't be able to retrieve it. Replacement cylinders vary significantly in price depending on the e-commerce site.

Prices start from £13.90 on AliExpress and can go up to £56.00 on eBay. Once the cylinder is removed, the handle will disengage automatically.

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.
