Volkswagen Passat - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: How to remove the hydraulic piston of the front hood of a Volkswagen Passat

Before starting, we will have to open the front hood of our Volkswagen Passat. Let's start by unhooking and removing the two clips that secure the hydraulic piston to the bonnet and to the base, using a slotted screwdriver as a lever. After that, we will have to go to disengage and extract the piston from its housing. By doing so, we will have released the piston itself. At this point, we will be able to remove the piston of the front hood of our Volkswagen Passat. When we have completed this step, we will have finished the disassembly, and we will be free to fit the new piston.

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.
