Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo III, Polo 3, MK III, 6N, MK 3 - Years 1994-2003
Part: Crankshaft RPM sensor
Operation: Replacement shaft speed sensor on Volkswagen Polo

First you need to disconnect and remove the battery, as you will need space later. To do this, disconnect the two poles (negative first) and unscrew the battery fixing bolts. At this point, locate the shaft sensor (well shown in the video) and disconnect it from the socket, then extract the cable from its seat and remove it. In case you want to move it, as it is done in the video, you will also have to remove the starter motor. If you just want to replace it, insert the new sensor and put the cable as it was previously the original, then connect it to the socket and mount the battery.

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.
