Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Cigarette Lighter
Operation: How to replace the cigarette lighter fuse on a Golf 5

Replacing the cigarette lighter fuse of a Volkswagen Golf 5 is a very simple operation. The first thing to do before replacing the fuse is to disconnect the car battery, this to protect yourself from any electric shocks. Then we just have to remove with a spudger, a plastic tool similar to a spatula, the plastic trim placed in the glove compartment located in the dashboard on the right side. Remove the cap from the same and remove the damaged fuses located in the compartment with needle nose pliers. After having carried out this operation, all we have to do is insert the new fuses and close the fuse holder inspection box with the cladding cap. At this point we just have to test the correct functioning of the cigarette lighter.

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.
