In this new guide dedicated to your new Volkswagen Polo 6c, we will discover the various steps required to quickly and independently replace the gear lever. First of all, this is an operation to be carried out with the car turned off and safely parked. Get a small flathead screwdriver or a similar object and use it to remove the lower leather covering. Then, pull the gear lever upwards until it is completely removed. At this point, install the new lever and reposition the leather covering correctly. Make sure there are no abnormal movements, and you're done.

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.
