Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Rear light bulb
Operation: How to replace the taillight bulb on a 2014 Polo 5

In this video we are going to show you how to replace the taillight bulb on your 2014 Polo 5. To begin with make sure the car is off and apply the handbrake. To prevent the bulbs from being damaged, never touch the glass part with your fingers or clean it well with absorbent paper before reassembling everything. Open the tailgate and remove the boot carpet in order to reach the rear light housing. Now manually unscrew the plastic butterfly that holds the light to the bodywork. Once this is done, take a slotted screwdriver and gently release the light from its housing (use a rag to avoid damaging the bodywork). Remove the connector and then the plastic plate as shown in the video. At this point replace the bulb and reassemble everything.

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.
