Volkswagen Maggiolino - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Maggiolino MK 1 - Years 1938-1980
Part: Accessory Kit
Operation: Change the trim of the car as desired

Changing the trim of the car so that it can be raised and lowered as desired for pure enjoyment involves the installation of many parts. First of all it is necessary to replace the shock absorbers with compressed air hydraulic pistons, to install an electric compressor, a tank for compressed air, a series of solenoid valves as well as the air system to make it flow to the pistons. By controlling the solenoid valves, the compressed air raises and lowers the pistons, thus modifying the height of the car as desired. In many countries these conversions are allowed but in Europe any changes made to cars that can circulate on the roads must be strictly approved by the motorization.

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.
