Volkswagen Passat - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Passat B5, 3BG - Years 1996-2005
Part: Engine
Operation: Air mass sensor replacement

The mass air sensor (better known as mass air flow sensor) on the car model in question is located inside the filter box, precisely under the cover; in order to replace the sensor it is therefore necessary to remove the cover of the engine air filter by disconnecting the inlet sleeve, unscrewing the fixing screws of the cover itself and moving the pipes and cables that pass above it; once the cover has been removed, unscrew the fixing screws of the mass air flow sensor, extract it from its seat, recover the o-ring gasket to be applied to the new sensor and install the latter by tightening the fixing screws and refitting the cover.

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.
