Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Battery
Operation: How to replace the remote control battery of the VW Polo

Today we see how to replace a battery built into the Volkswagen Polo remote control. This operation is necessary when we are no longer able to control the car remotely. To solve we only need a new button battery; we can see the model by consulting the use and maintenance booklet or by removing the old battery, but usually it is a CR 2032 that can be purchased for a few euros. Now we take the key and notice that under the brand symbol there is a slot. Let's make the key click and go to lever thus opening the battery cover. With a knife or a small screwdriver we can go to remove the battery. We reassemble the new one in the same way and we go to reinsert the lid. Now we can test the operation of the remote control.

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.
