Operation: How to remove the bolt caps and wheel covers on a Volkswagen car

In this video, we can see how to remove the bolt caps and wheel covers on a Volkswagen car: these caps, in addition to having an aesthetic purpose, also serve to protect them from potential damage. The cars are also equipped with wheel covers that need to be removed to access the wheel bolts; in the tool kit found in the trunk, there is a metal pin with a loop, which is a tool for removing the wheel bolt covers, inserting the end into the hook of the hole in the center of the cover and pulling. By doing this, the covers will not be damaged while, for example, changing a tire. To put it back on, make sure the valve stem is aligned with the invitation hole on the wheel cover, and press firmly to fully engage it with the hub.

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.
