Checking the Rear Shock Absorber Knock
Model: Volkswagen Golf
MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V
- Years 2003-2008
If you hear a knock coming from the rear wheels while driving over rough terrain, it is likely due to the failure of the rear shock absorber mounts; therefore, lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheels: you will likely notice a failure of the rubber damper that should be attached to the upper support plate of the shock absorber; clearly, in the case of a dip, the shock absorber reaches the end of its travel, and without the rubber damper, you hear the knock; you will need to proceed with the replacement.

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. by ScegliAuto More videos
