Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: V-belt
Operation: How do you replace the V-belt on the Volkswagen Polo?

To be able to replace the V-belt on the Volkswagen Polo, you need to go and open the bonnet, so that you can access the engine compartment. In particular, the V-belt is located on the left side of the engine block, in the upper area. By unscrewing the central pin of the belt tensioner, it will be possible to remove it from its housing, so that it can be replaced with a new spare part. When the new belt has been positioned around the pulleys, it will be necessary to screw the central pin of the tensioner roller, checking that the device works correctly.

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.
