Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 6, MK VI, AW1, MK 6, Polo VI - Years 2017-2024
Part: Interior lights ceiling light bulb
Operation: How to install a light in the glove compartment of the Volkswagen Polo version VI

Let's see how to install the light in the glove compartment of the Volkswagen Polo. We can find the ceiling light on B-parts. Com to the code 6L0947585: costs 56.58 euros including transport costs. The lever with the switch was purchased on Ali-express under the code 33048968827, and costs 5.90 euros + 3.00 euros for shipping costs. The bracket was purchased on E-bay under code 173698721371 and costs 2.35 euros + 5.90 euros for delivery costs. Remember to disconnect the positive pole of the battery before starting. In the glovebox, there is a predisposition for the bulb holder: just remove the cap by levering it with a plastic spatula, then release the drawer, being very careful not to disconnect the airbag connector. We also remove the lever that slows down the descent of the drawer: we will replace it with the one we bought, equipped with a switch. Now we have to wire the lamp holder connector, following the clear instructions in the video and respecting the polarity, in order not to damage the ceiling light. We connect the negative cable to ground, using a pre-insulated ring terminal. Now let's proceed with the three-pin positive, one of which goes out towards the fuse. We mount the new lever, fix the new cable with electrician's clamps, and insert it under the carpet, reaching the side of the central tunnel, which we must now overcome. We will recover the cable from the driver's side, slightly moving the plastic, and we arrive at the fuse, possibly along the dashboard: we connect to the cigarette lighter fuse (or to that of the interior lights) with a splitter and place a 7.5 ampere fuse. Remember not to overstretch the cables.

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.
