Audi Q5 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi Q5 MK 1, 8R - Years 2008-2017
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How to change the gear oil of an Audi

Before we can begin, we will have to go and raise our Audi, so that we can work underneath without hindrance. Let's start by removing the lower gear cover by unscrewing the screw that fixes it. After that we will have to open the sleeves to let the internal gearbox oil out, and then clean the system by connecting the appropriate machine. Once this is done, we can remove the lower oil pan, clean it, and then reassemble it. At this point, the machine that first cleaned the system will now fill in the new oil. When it's done, we can disconnect it and close the sleeves. By doing so, we will have finished successfully.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
