In this video, you can see where the windscreen wiper motor is located in the Volkswagen Golf and how to access it, useful if you need to replace it. As shown, the motor is located inside the engine bay, specifically in front of the windscreen on the passenger side.

To access it, first open the bonnet, then remove the wiper caps and, using a 13 mm socket, detach both wipers.

Next, remove the upper plastic cover by releasing the retaining clips and disconnect the power connector of the motor. To remove it, you will need to use a Torx T30 key.

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.
