Skoda Octavia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Octavia 1U, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Skoda Octavia air conditioning compressor replacement

In this video tutorial we will see how to disassemble and reassemble the air conditioning compressor of a Skoda Octavia TDI. First we raise the bonnet and we go to remove all the connecting pipes that we see present: then we go to turn the external part of the alternator with a key. We lift the car and remove the mudguard: with a torx wrench we are going to unscrew the screws of the gas pipes of our compressor. At this point we unscrew the central screw of our pulley in order to loosen it: then by levering we go to extract the compressor and proceed with the replacement!

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.
