Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Replacement exterior rearview mirror

Even if you are not a mechanic or a body shop, replacing the outside rearview mirror of your car is not a very complex operation, you just need a little patience, a few screwdrivers and torx keys. To carry out the work, you have to open the door and lower the window so that you can work comfortably and quietly on the mirror. The plastic panel must be removed with great care as it is interlocking, being careful not to break it and, at the same time, working hard to remove the fixing screws. It should also be remembered that the gasket on the car covers the sides of the new mirror perfectly.

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.
