Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VI, 5K1, Golf 6, MK 6 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Particulate filter
Operation: Removal of Volkswagen Golf 6 1.6 TDI particulate filter

Today we will see the main steps on how to remove the particulate filter (FAP or DPF) of a sixth series Volkswagen Golf. First of all we open and lift the bonnet and we go to unhook the exhaust manifold from the turbocharger, going to disconnect the metal clamp; after which we lift the car and go to remove our particulate filter, releasing it from the upper manifold. To disassemble it we are going to unscrew the screws of the exhaust pipe support and then remove the terminal together with the FAP; we just have to replace it with the new one and reassemble everything!

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.
