Toyota Rav 4 - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa30, MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to adjust the timing belt of the Toyota RAV4.

In this video, we see how to adjust the timing belt of the Toyota Rav 4: we see that the camshaft is in line with the cylinder head. The TDC (top dead center setting) is set by rotating the engine crankshaft until it meets the marks. We can see this very well in the footage. However, tightening the belt is not at all simple, as we can see from how the YouTuber, who is definitely a professional, struggles to tighten it. Once the belt is installed, let's manually run it at least once to verify that everything is in order before putting the engine block back into the engine compartment.

How to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
