Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Battery
Operation: How to change the battery on a Volkswagen Polo.

If we need to replace the battery in our car, first we pull the plastic lever located inside the vehicle (to the left of the door); once the front hood is released, we can lift it up (using the hydraulic piston on the left). We locate the position of the battery in the engine compartment, remove the plastic-cloth cover on the battery. We unscrew with a 10mm socket wrench the bolts positioned above the battery terminals (first the negative and then the positive). We pull up the battery terminals once they are removed from the bolts. We unscrew the screw that secures the metal plate located under the battery with a 13mm socket wrench (plate connected to the front side of the battery). Then we remove the battery and replace it with a new one, then reconnect the positive pole first and then the negative.

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.
