Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo III, Polo 3, MK III, 6N, MK 3 - Years 1994-2003
Part: License plate light
Operation: Replacing the license plate light in the Volkswagen Polo.

We arrange our car (in this case our Volkswagen Polo) on the deck or on a floor in order to guarantee the safety and stability necessary to be able to carry out any maintenance operation. The license plate lights, in this case, are positioned at the bottom, on the bumper. We open the tailgate of the rear luggage compartment and, using a screwdriver, extract the small ceiling light from its seat. We disconnect the electric power supply and turn the small electric socket counterclockwise, in the block of which the bulb holder is also incorporated. In this way, we have access to the bulb which is easily replaceable. We reassemble everything and repeat the operation for the other light.

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.
