Volkswagen Passat - Video tutorial

Operation: Camshaft seal cap replacement

If oil oozes are noticed from the rear of the engine, there could be a seal defect in the cap applied to the end of the camshaft; to replace this cap it is first of all necessary to remove the engine air filter box, in order to have more room for maneuver; having intercepted the seat of the cap, you can use a screwdriver and hammer to extract it and then a grapple to grab it and pull it off; then apply some mastic for gaskets to the edges of the new cap and the double-sided adhesive to make it stick to the fingers and put it in its without the risk of it falling into the engine compartment; once the new cap has been applied, wait for the mastic to dry.

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.
