Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Windscreen wipers
Operation: Where is the windshield wiper motor located in the Volkswagen Golf?

In this video, we can see where the windshield wiper motor is located in the Volkswagen Golf and how to access it, which is useful in case we need to replace it. As shown, the motor is located inside the engine compartment, specifically in front of the windshield on the passenger side. To access it, we first open the hood, then remove the wiper caps and, using a 13mm socket wrench, unscrew both wipers. Then, we remove the upper plastic plate by releasing the corresponding securing clips and disconnect the motor's power connector. To disassemble it, we will need to use a T30 Torx wrench.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
