Volkswagen Passat - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: Disassembly of the gas piston mounted on a Vw Passat

Is the front hood suspension piston damaged? Let's see how you change from inside the engine compartment of a Passat. We raise the front hood and put it in safety with a rod that replaces the piston that we are going to disassemble. With a screwdriver we detach the metal hooks that block the worn piston at both ends. We mount the new piston above the car body. We secure the piston with the metal clips / pins. We test the operation of the new piston mounted in the engine compartment. We close the front hood once we have finished the assembly.

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.
