Part: Timing belt
Operation: When to replace the timing belt on the Golf 7 1 2 TSI?

In this video we will show you when to replace the timing belt on the Golf 7 1 2 TSI. Pump, water, belt and services are the spare parts necessary to replace the timing belt on your Golf 7. But when should the timing belt be replaced? There are basically two parameters for establishing when to do so: 1) the mileage (at least 180,000 km) or the age of the car (at least 10 years). However, there are cars which, based on driving style and/or wear, can give problems before reaching the aforementioned deadlines and therefore it is necessary to intervene sooner.

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.
