(Various brands) Various - Video tutorial

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Gearbox
Operation: What to do when the message "go to the workshop without changing gear" appears on the dashboard of a Mercedes.

In this video, we see what we need to do if the alarming message "go to the workshop without changing gears" appears on the dashboard of our Mercedes. Here, the error codes will be read with an electronic scanner, which will tell us what has happened. However, in most cases, the problem originates from a component that controls the selected gear. So, by selecting drive, reverse, or neutral, the transmissions are not mechanically engaged, but rather through electronic impulses. Therefore, if the part that our YouTuber is showing us malfunctions, we receive the message on our dashboard: it is no longer able to engage the gears. In this case, the transmission has been completely removed, but it is possible to remove the component from under the engine without dismantling everything in this way. It is possible to either replace it (and in this case, it will need to be programmed for our vehicle with the chassis number) or refurbish it, which is a much simpler and more cost-effective option.

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!
