Part: Starter motor
Operation: Starter motor replacement on Volkswagen Polo 1.2 9N

In today's video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the starter motor on a Volkswagen Polo 1.2 Petrol, 9N version. First we open the bonnet of our car and we go to remove the battery; to do this we remove the control unit that we find above it and remove all the plastic covers. Once the battery has been removed, after having disconnected the two poles, we are going to remove the battery holder, unscrewing the fixing screws; in this way we access the starter motor that we find below. We just have to unscrew its fixing screws and disconnect the electrical connector to remove and replace it!

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.
