Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK 4, Polo IV, 9N, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: Replace the Volkswagen Polo hydraulic pistons

In this video tutorial we will see how to replace the hydraulic pistons of the rear tailgate of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all, we open the tailgate of the boot and begin to release the small metal stop that we find on the base of the hydraulic piston, using a thin lever like a flat screwdriver; after which we are going to release the piston also from the upper part of the tailgate, as shown in the video. At this point we replace the hydraulic pistons with new ones, hooking them perfectly on the side pins!

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.
