Operation: How to change the water pump of the Volkswagen Polo 1.6

Let's see in this guide the main steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the coolant pump of the Volkswagen Polo 1.6. First of all we open the engine hood and start by disassembling and removing the engine support that we find near the coolant tank; we then lift the engine with a jack and remove the right front wheel. At this point we remove the service belt and drain the coolant; now we remove the timing belt and unscrew the screws of the water pump to replace it with the new one!

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.
