Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Alternator
Operation: How to disassemble alternator Vw Polo 1.2 TDI

Let's see how the Volkswagen Polo alternator is removed. We raise the front hood, disconnect the electrical terminals of the battery. We unscrew the alternator pins with a socket wrench: we unscrew all the alternator locking pins placed on the sides. Once the disassembly is finished, remove the belt from the alternator and then from the engine compartment. We take the new replacement part and insert it into the suitable housing, screw in the locking pins, then tighten the side pins of the alternator. We check the right voltage with a tester by connecting it to the battery. Let's start the alternator and see how it works.

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.
