Part: Thermostat
Operation: How to replace the thermostat in the Volkswagen Polo?

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the thermostat in the Volskwagen Polo. First of all let's make sure that the engine is completely cold, then we open the hood, remove the cap of the coolant tank and drain the liquid by disconnecting the lower tube. Next, we disconnect the thermostat inlet pipe and, with a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew the two fixing bolts of the same. Once extracted, we assemble the spare part together with a new gasket and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure. Finally, reinsert the previously drained coolant.

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.
