Disassembling and repairing the door handle of a Volkswagen Passat B6 is not complicated, but it requires a bit of patience. First, open the door and remove the plastic cap near the lock.

Inside there is a Torx screw: unscrew it without completely removing it. Now you can remove the lock cylinder (if present) and then the handle, pulling it slightly outwards. If the handle is broken, check the springs and linkages: often the internal pin breaks or the cable loosens.

If necessary, replace the damaged piece and reassemble everything following the steps in reverse. Test the operation before closing everything.

A tip? Take photos while disassembling, so you avoid unpleasant surprises during reassembly!

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
