Replacing the Air Filter on the Volkswagen Lupo

Model: Volkswagen Lupo MK 1 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Air filter

Among the tasks in the maintenance schedule for the Volkswagen Lupo is the replacement of the air filter. To carry this out, place the vehicle on a lift and raise it to work underneath the engine. Position yourself near the wheel on the passenger side; you will find the filter cover just behind the bumper. Using a T30 Torx key, unscrew the screws that hold it in place: to remove one, you will need to insert the screwdriver into a hole in the bumper. Once the cover is removed, take out the old filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring correct installation. Close the cover, tighten it with its screws, and lower the lift.

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.
