Part: Lock
Operation: How to remove the exterior lock of the Volkswagen Polo from 2011

The guide shows how to remove the exterior door handle of the Volkswagen Polo. As a first operation, using the key supplied for ignition, pry the cap of the lock to remove it. Using a screwdriver and from the inside of the door, remove the rubber plug of the lock screw and the adhesive placed nearby. With a Torx20 unscrew the screw that has shown itself. Once the key has been inserted into the lock and turned to the right, you can proceed to loosen the second screw (the one under the sticker); loosened enough you can remove the lock cylinder. Pull the handle as if you wanted to open the door; at this point it is completely released and can be replaced. Reassembly is the same as the procedure just performed. At the end of the operation, check that the lock is working correctly.

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.
