Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How do you remove the Volkswagen Polo gearbox?

In order to remove the Volkswagen Polo gearbox, the hood must be opened to gain access to the engine compartment. Once the hood has been opened, it will be necessary to loosen the screws and disconnect the connectors that secure the gearbox from the top. Subsequently, you will have to lift the car with a bridge to go and remove the front wheels, with the relative wheel arches. This will allow the lower mounting brackets of the gearbox to be removed, which can be extracted from the underside of the vehicle. After removal, it will be possible to replace it by installing all the parts previously removed.

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.
