Skoda Fabia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Fabia Mark1, 6Y - Years 1999-2007
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Dismantling the central console of a Skoda Fabia.

In this very useful tutorial, we will see all the steps to disassemble the center console of a Skoda Fabia, first-generation model produced from 1999 to 2007. Let's start by removing the plastic insert under the handbrake lever, then using a T15 key, we remove the central screw located inside the ashtray. Then, we proceed by removing the gear shift boot and knob. Once done, with the help of a small lever, we detach and remove the gear shift frame along with the ashtray, and then unscrew the last two screws located under the ashtray. Now, we remove the small rear storage compartment and unscrew, still using the T15 key, the two screws located underneath it. Finally, we begin to lift the center console, disconnect the wiring, and remove it completely.

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.
