Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Key
Operation: How do you replace the Volkswagen Golf 5 key shell?

In order to replace the Volkswagen Golf key shell, you need to pry with an object to detach the manufacturer's symbol on the back of the device. This will allow you to detach the top of the remote from the bottom - this is where you'll find the battery and the coding chip, which you'll need to take out. From the upper part, on the other hand, you will need to remove the key by unscrewing the appropriate screw: all the parts removed from the old remote control can then be installed on the new shell, which must then be closed and checked that everything 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.
