Operation: How to replace the thermostat in the Volkswagen Polo?

In this video we can see how to replace the thermostat in the Volkswagen Polo 6n. This is a very simple operation if you have good dexterity. First, we remove the engine protection cover and disconnect the manifold that goes right to the thermostat. Next, we unscrew the two fixing bolts using a 10mm wrench and remove the housing paying attention to any liquid spillage. We insert the replacement thermostat first in the housing, then we fix the latter to the engine body with the two bolts. Finally, we reconnect and fix the tube.

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.
