Operation: How to change the oil and filter on the VW Polo

Replacing the engine oil and its filter is one of the most easily done DIY maintenance operations, but care must be taken to properly dispose of the relative waste; once the car has been positioned on suitable car stands to facilitate access to the lower part of the engine, remove the splash guard cover and intercept the drain plug on the oil pan; once the used oil has been drained, access the engine compartment, remove the cover and intercept the filter seat which is right next to the throttle body; then proceed with the replacement of the cartridge and the relative gaskets and then fill the engine with new oil up to the maximum level.

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.
