Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: How to replace the condenser on an air conditioning - also for Volkswagen Polo MK5

One of the reasons why the air conditioning compressor is not working can be the condenser. In this video, the youtuber shows us an example without telling us which car it is, but basically the system remains the same on all of them, even on our Volkswagen Polo MK5. The capacitor can be identified quite easily because it has a cylindrical body and is of moderate size, on which the voltage is indicated. It costs around 15.00 euros on the major e-commerce platforms: in this case the voltage arrived, but the compressor did not start, even if the fan was still spinning. The connectors are removed and reattached on the new piece and the compressor is now working.

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.
