In this video, see where the power steering fluid reservoir is located on a Volkswagen Polo, useful if you need to top it up. As shown, the reservoir is located inside the engine bay, precisely beneath the left headlamp. To access it, you will need to remove the headlamp, which is a very simple and quick operation.

To do this, simply undo the two screws located on the top edge of the headlamp. Always ensure the vehicle is off and wear safety gloves, as this fluid is highly corrosive.

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.
