Volkswagen Up - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Up?

Replacing the timing belt on the Volkswagen Up is done by opening the hood so that access can be gained to the components located inside the engine compartment. On the left side of the engine block, the side cover will be identified, which must be removed by loosening the fixing screws. In this way, the underlying belt can be identified, which can be extracted by removing the belt tensioner roller. At this point, it will be possible to insert the new belt around the pulleys, repositioning the belt tensioner roller and verifying that everything works correctly.

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.
