Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK 4, Polo IV, 9N, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How to remove the left rearview mirror of a Volkswagen Polo

Let's see how to remove the left rear-view mirror of a Volkswagen Polo (driver's side): remove the door panel (if necessary); with a lever we remove the part of the inner lining of the mirror (there are plastic clips) and unscrew the locking pins with a special socket wrench. Once the locking pins have been removed: remove the mirror with the electric control cables (manual cvi) of the mirror from the car door. To reassemble: replace the mirror with the pins, the adjustment cables and the plastic cover in the door sheet. Finally, we test the correct functioning of the mirror.

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.
