Where is the crankshaft position sensor located in the Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

In this video we can see where the crankshaft position sensor is located in the Volkswagen Golf, useful in case we need to replace it due to a malfunction. As shown, the sensor in question is located in the lower area of the engine, specifically next to the oil filter which will need to be unscrewed to obtain the necessary working space. To replace the sensor, it will be sufficient to disconnect the power connector, unscrew the single fixing bolt and follow the reverse procedure. Make sure to operate with the vehicle cold and turned off.

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.
