Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Central tunnel
Operation: How do you replace the armrest on the Volkswagen Polo?

To be able to replace the central tunnel armrest on the Volkswagen Polo, you need to go and lower the drawer located in the rear part of the armrest, then unscrewing the screws that fix it. When this drawer has been removed, it will also be possible to detach the side covers so that you have access to the screw that fixes the entire armrest: the latter can now be unscrewed and the armrest will be completely removed from its housing. At this point it will be necessary to install the new armrest, which must be suitably fixed with the screws and covered by the panels removed previously.

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.
