Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

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

In this video tutorial, we can see how it is possible to replace the battery of a Volkswagen Polo, following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new battery (check the vehicle's user manual for specifications). The next step is to get into the car, turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and pull the hood release lever. Lift the hood and secure it with the appropriate rod. The battery is located on the right side of the engine compartment. Start by disconnecting the negative terminal (never disconnect the positive terminal first, as the entire car is still connected to the negative and could generate sparks that can be dangerous for the electrical system). Using a 10mm wrench, remove the negative clamp, then the positive one. Use a lever to detach the fuse box; once removed, set it aside. Using a socket wrench and a 13mm insert, remove the battery support plate. At this point, we can remove the old battery from its seat and replace it with the new one.

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.
