Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Airbags
Operation: Disassembly of the airbag on Volkswagen Polo

Remove the plastic behind the steering wheel which, as you will notice in the video, is simply stuck with plastic hooks. If anything, help yourself with a plastic lever or a small flat screwdriver. Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees and push the first of the two tabs that secure the airbag. Then turn the steering wheel 180 degrees by turning it away from the previous one and push the other tab. At this point, the airbag will be bumped out of its seat, coming out of the steering wheel. Unplug the various connected cables and connectors and remove it completely. To reinsert it, simply push it into place by snapping the tabs.

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.
