Part: Starter motor
Operation: Removing a starter motor on a Volkswagen Polo

Let's see how to remove a starter motor on a Volkswagen Polo. To begin with, with a socket wrench we disconnect the cables of the car battery power supply. We lift the car with a column bridge and remove (with a screwdriver and nose pliers) the stone guard of the left front wheel. We disconnect the terminals of the starter motor power supply with pliers or screwdriver depending on the pressure of the tabs, unscrew the locking pins of the starter motor with a socket wrench and remove the same from the engine compartment. Finally we assemble the new ignition motor with the power supply cables and with the attached tightening screws.

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.
