This guide briefly outlines the step-by-step instructions for removing and replacing the front door panel of a Volkswagen Golf. First, open the front door and begin by removing the plastic cover of the door handle by prying it off from the sides. Then, use a Torx screwdriver to unscrew the fixing screws found underneath, as shown in the video.

Next, remove any additional screws located on the sides of the panel until it is completely detached. Disconnect the electric connector for the window switch and finally the handle cable!

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
