Skoda Octavia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Glow plugs
Operation: Skoda Octavia 2 1.6 TDI glow plug replacement

Let's see in this video how to remove and replace the engine glow plugs of a second series Skoda Octavia, powered by 1.6 TDI. We open and lift the bonnet and first remove the plastic engine protection; then we are going to remove the upper pipettes of our glow plugs, simply pulling them upwards. At this point we apply a bit of unlocking agent to facilitate the operation and with a socket wrench with extension we go to unscrew and remove the four glow plugs, as shown in the video. We just have to replace them with the new ones, first screwing by hand and then tightening with the key!

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.
