Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK 4, Polo IV, 9N, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacing the gear knob on a Volkswagen Polo

Do you want to replace the gear knob on a Volkswagen Polo? Let's see how to proceed with the replacement: to begin with, take the knob in your hands and rotate it to the left and right until it is removed from the shift rod. We disconnect the frame of the leather cap with a plastic lever (remove the plastic). To carry out the assembly: mount the new leather cap with the clips (if disassembled), then take the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel until it is tightened in the rod. Finally, we test the correct assembly of the knob with the movement of the rod on the central tunnel.

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.
