Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the timing belt on the Volkswagen Polo

If we have to replace the timing belt on this model, in the description that follows we will find the general indications because it is a rather complex operation that must be carried out by qualified personnel. First of all, remove the right front wheel and its internal mudguard casing. Loosen the belt tensioner of the service belt and then remove it. Unscrew the fixing bolts of the engine support and remove the crankshaft pulley. Then remove the lower belt cover and also the central one. Then also remove the upper belt protection casing. Position retainers to lock the relative position of the crankshaft and camshafts to avoid losing engine timing. At this point it will be possible to loosen the belt tensioner and remove it.

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.
