Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the belt and the belt tensioner of the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 9N

In today's video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the V-belt and the belt tensioner of the three-cylinder Volkswagen Polo 1.2 petrol (9N). First we open the bonnet and begin to loosen our belt pretensioner, in order to remove it; let's then unscrew the pulley screw, using a T50 torx wrench. At this point we unscrew the screw of our belt tensioner, in order to remove it and replace it with the new one (with the original spare part); now let's clean the belt area from residual dirt, before reassembling everything.

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.
