Volkswagen Touareg - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Touareg 7L, MK 1 - Years 2002-2010
Part: Engine
Operation: Adblue additive added for TDI clean diesel system

In cars equipped with the TDI clean diesel system, a urea-based solution (AdBlue®) is injected into the exhaust system, upstream of a special catalyst, which reduces nitrogen oxide emissions. AdBlue is contained in a special tank located in the luggage compartment under the spare compartment. Generally this tank is filled to coincide with the service since, in normal conditions of use of the car, the refueling of AdBlue is sufficient to cover the mileage between one service and the next: for this reason it is absolutely necessary. that maintenance deadlines are respected. The consumption of AdBlue is around 0.5-1% of that of diesel fuel. The AdBlue tank holds approximately 23 liters. If AdBlue consumption is higher due to your particular driving style, you must refuel yourself, even between one service and the next. Then open the rear hood, lift the support surface, take out the spare wheel and remove the cap from the AdBlue tank; insert the special bottle with dispenser and screw it; press to release the additive and update the tank level through the diagnostic instrumentation

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.
