Toyota Aygo - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Aygo Ab10, MK 1 - Years 2005-2014
Part: Battery
Operation: How to replace the battery of a Toyota Aygo

In this video tutorial, we are shown how to proceed with replacing the battery of a Toyota Aygo car. First, we get into the vehicle and pull the hood release lever; then we lift the hood and secure it in position using the appropriate rod. The battery is located on the right side of the engine; using a socket wrench with a 10mm insert, we unscrew the fastening nut of the negative terminal clamp and detach it. We then repeat the same operation with the clamp on the positive terminal. At this point, using a socket wrench with an extension and a 13mm insert, we unscrew the fastening bolt of the metal support plate for the battery and proceed to remove it and extract the battery. Before inserting the new battery, we apply some copper grease to the terminals to improve contact with the cables and limit oxidation. We then insert the new battery, secure it to the support bracket, and finally connect the terminals, remembering to connect the positive terminal first and then the negative one.

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.
