Model: Volkswagen Golf 5K1, MK 6, Golf 6, Golf VI - Years 2008-2012
Part: Valve
Operation: How do I remove the EGR valve from the Volkswagen Golf 6?

To be able to remove the EGR valve of the Volkswagen Golf 6 you have to open the hood to access the engine compartment and remove the cover from the top of the engine; after this has been removed, the pipes connected to the air filter box must be disconnected by removing the fixing rings. In this way, you will be able to access the valve which is located in front of the engine. By releasing it from the intake manifold and exhaust manifold, the EGR valve can be removed from its housing and possibly replaced with a new spare part.

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.
