Operation: How to disassemble the Volkswagen Golf ECU

In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the ECU of the Volkswagen Polo, by following these simple steps. First of all we open the bonnet of our car and start disconnecting our battery by unscrewing the nuts of the terminals; then we remove the plastic bulkhead that we find under the wipers, as shown in the video. At this point, unscrew the fixing screws of the control unit, then remove the fixing pin; then disconnect the electrical wiring to remove it and replace it with the new one, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
