Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo V, MK V, 6R, Polo 5, MK 5 - Years 2009-2017
Part: Alternator
Operation: How do you replace the alternator of a Volkswagen Polo?

Replacing the alternator of the Volkswagen Polo is done by opening the hood and locating the alternator on the left side of the engine block. First, the nut on the roller that tightens the V-belt must be loosened. The V-belt can then be removed from the alternator pulley, which can now be removed from its housing by loosening the fixing screws. At this point, the alternator can be completely removed from its housing so that the new replacement part can be inserted. After replacement, the V-belt can be reinserted, ensuring that everything is functioning correctly.

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.
