Part: Thermostat
Operation: How do you replace the thermostat on the Volkswagen Polo?

In order to replace the thermostat on the Volkswagen Polo, you need to go and open the bonnet, in order to have access to the components inside the engine compartment: the thermostat will in fact be found on the right side of the engine block. It can be removed from its housing by unscrewing it and removing the relative fixing ring; once the old thermostat has been removed from inside its seat, it will be possible to insert and fix the new spare part. After installation it will therefore be possible to close the bonnet and check that everything works correctly with the new piece installed.

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.
