Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Starter motor
Operation: How to replace the starter motor of a Volkswagen Polo

Before starting, we will have to open the front hood of our Volkswagen Polo. So let's start by disassembling the air filter block, unscrewing the fixing bolts and loosening the hose clamps. After that, we will have to remove the battery and its support base. By doing so, we will have reached the starter motor. We then proceed by unscrewing the fixing bolts and disconnecting the electrical connector, and then removing the starter motor itself, and we will have finished the disassembly. To fit the new starter motor, we will have to follow these steps in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.

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.
