Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 6, MK VI, AW1, MK 6, Polo VI - Years 2017-2024
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Volkswagen Polo exterior mirror replacement

This video shows and describes the procedure for replacing the exterior rearview mirror of a Volkswagen Polo. First of all, by means of the electric control, it is necessary to orient it all on one side, so as to be able to remove it from the shell. Once this is done, with the aid of a plastic lever, pull it outwards until it is released from its seat and then disconnect the defrost wires, located in the rear part. At this point, proceed with the assembly of the new mirror in its housing, remembering to connect the cables for defrosting first. Finally, electrically test directionality, making sure everything is working perfectly.

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.
