Volkswagen Maggiolino - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Maggiolino MK 1 - Years 1938-1980
Part: Valve
Operation: Help box game registration

Due to the wear of the rack-pinion coupling, the steering box can take on play and consequently the steering will be activated with a slight delay. This game can be estimated by trying to slowly turn the steering wheel left and right: you will notice that the steering wheel turns but the wheels remain stationary. If the wear is not excessive, the play can be compensated by means of the special adjustment screw placed on the steering box. Therefore, open the front hood and intercept on the right side (looking from the front) a cap in the shape of a half-moon: under this cap there is the gearbox of the steering box and the relative adjustment screw.

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.
