Operation: Remove the instrument cluster on Skoda Octavia

Today we are going to see how to remove the Skoda analog instrument cluster, especially on Skoda Octavia. Medium level maintenance. Remove the plastic underneath the instrument panel by simply pulling it, then unscrew only the two lower screws that hold the panel in place. At this point, leverage the little space available between the instrument panel and the dashboard, using a lever or a plastic screwdriver (NOT IRON, and do not use an ATM as done in the video). Carry out this operation gently, levering along the entire length, until it slowly begins to come off and you can pull it off. Snap the cables out before total removal.

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.
