How to replace the cabin filter in a Volkswagen FOX

Model: Volkswagen Fox MK 1 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Cabin air filter

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the cabin filter in a Volkswagen FOX by following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new pollen filter from an authorised dealer. Get into the car, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake; the pollen filter in this vehicle is located inside the car, under the glove compartment; slide the passenger seat all the way back for easier access; remove the filter cover from its housing by sliding the clips towards the centre; extract the old filter element and then position the new filter, following the arrows on the filter itself according to the airflow direction. The cabin filter should be replaced every 15,000 miles or at least once a year.

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.
