Volkswagen Up - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Timing belt
Operation: After how many km is it necessary to replace the timing belt on the Volkswagen Up?

The timing belt is an indispensable element for the correct functioning of the car. Being subject to wear, it is mandatory to check its “state of health†after a certain number of kilometers traveled or years of vehicle age. Timing belt breakage can in fact cause such serious damage as to make it necessary to replace the engine. It is a sort of closed belt, toothed and made of plastic material, not rigid, but rather flexible enough to be able to withstand the continuous stresses of the engine. In fact, the timing belt synchronizes the crankshaft with the camshaft. The latter is responsible for opening and closing the valves and therefore for the combustion and intake phases of the engine cylinders. For this car, the manufacturer expects replacement between 120,000 km and 180,000 km.

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.
