In this video, we see how to locate a very important component on the Volkswagen Jetta. In this case, it is the 2.0 petrol version, but we believe this detail does not significantly affect the location of this relay.

The starter relay is located in the fuse box situated inside the cabin, at the lower part of the dashboard, between the steering wheel and the driver's door. Behind a plastic panel, you will find a compartment where the fuses and some relays are stored.

The one dedicated to the starter is the one pointed out by our YouTuber, and it is the first on the left from the top.

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.
