In this video tutorial we will see how to disassemble and replace the Volkswagen Polo gear knob and gaiter, by following these simple and quick steps. First of all, we get on board the car and start unhooking the headset from below; then let's release the metal clamp that we find between the headset and the knob, as shown in the video. At this point we pull the cap upwards, also pulling the knob strongly; replace the gear knob and install the new clamp on the lever, thus also fixing the gaiter, following the video tutorial to the end!

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.
