Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Radiator
Operation: What are the reasons why the heating of a V.A.G car is no longer working?

This procedure is valid for all vehicles in the V.A.G group, namely Volkswagen, Audi, Seat. When the heating no longer works and no more hot air comes out, or when water is being thrown out from the tank (apparently, this is a problem complained about by a good number of cars), it is due to the radiator being clogged with dirt, or the water pump being blocked (also due to the same problem). What needs to be done is to clean the system with specific Volkswagen liquids (to dissolve the dirt and fix the issue), which can also be found on eBay (code 385027142783). The kit is not cheap: 156.50 for the kit of two liquids, with free delivery. Then, it is also necessary to check if the water thermostat is functional.

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.
