Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement brake pads on Vw Polo

Let's see how to replace the brake pads on a Volkswagen Polo. We jack up the car and remove the wheel to access the disc and the brake caliper. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. Using a screwdriver, disassemble the pads to be replaced from the wheel hub caliper, remove the brake caliper (unscrew the disc clamping screws if we want to replace it). We mount the new pads in the working caliper, mount the brake caliper with the holder on the brake disc. We bleed the brake caliper, then mount the wheel. We test the functioning of the brakes.

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.
