Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK 4, Polo IV, 9N, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Oil filter
Operation: Oil filter replacement instructions

The engine oil filter seat is located in the front left part of the engine itself (looking from the front), immediately next to the exhaust manifold: it is a cartridge type filter and it is advisable to replace it at each oil change given the simplicity of disassembly and the low cost of the spare part. Unscrew the oil filter container cap and remove it complete with cartridge; then remove the old cartridge, insert the new one and apply the new O-rings always present in the packaging of the new filter; then lubricate the O-rings and screw the complete cap of the new filter without exceeding the tightening torque.

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.
