Part: Engine head
Operation: How to replace the head gasket on a Volkswagen Polo 1.2.

Today we will see the main instructions on how to disassemble and replace the gasket of the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 cylinder head. First, we open the engine hood of our car and start lifting the engine from the bottom, then removing the engine support (unscrewing the bolts with a socket wrench); then we unscrew the bolts of the intake manifold, disconnecting the various pipes and wiring to remove it, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the distribution cover and then the chain, and then remove the cylinder head cover; finally, we unscrew the cylinder head bolts to remove and replace the gasket!

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.
