Audi A3 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Alternator
Operation: How to remove the alternator of an Audi A3

Before we can start, we will necessarily have to open the front hood. So let's start by disassembling the entire air filter block, unscrewing the screws that secure it and removing the relative sleeves. Once this is done, we will need to remove the top engine cover as well. At this point we will have to loosen the belt tensioner using a 16 mm wrench. Once this is done we will remove the bolts that secure the alternator using a 13 mm wrench. Once these bolts are removed, we can easily remove the alternator. By the time we have completed this last step, we will have successfully completed the disassembly.

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.
