Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Part: Battery
Operation: How to change the battery of a Volkswagen Polo?

The battery of the Volkswagen Polo is installed inside the engine compartment, on the bottom right side. We can immediately identify it as soon as we lift the front hood. To replace it, we must always start by disconnecting it from the negative pole, using a 10 key, and then cover it with the appropriate plastic panel to prevent it from making contact. We repeat the same thing with the positive pole and then, with a 13 key, we remove the battery mounting bracket. Replace it with the new one, reinstalling the mounting bracket and making sure to connect the positive pole first and only then the negative 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.
