Volkswagen Touran - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Touran 1T, MK 1 - Years 2003-2015
Part: Battery
Operation: How to replace the battery on a Volkswagen Touran

In this video tutorial, we can see how it is possible to replace the battery on a Volkswagen Touran by following a few simple steps: The first thing to do is to get into the car, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake; lift the hood and secure it with a proper rod; the battery is located on the right side of the engine compartment. Use a socket wrench with an extension and a 30 mm socket to unscrew the battery mounting plate, and then remove it from its housing; pushing down on the tab will allow you to open the plastic cover of the battery. Start by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery using a 10 mm socket wrench with an extension. Separate the negative cable and proceed to disconnect the positive terminal of the battery as well. Now it will be possible to remove the battery from its housing and replace it with the new one. Sand the inner part of the terminals to prevent long-term damage. Place the new battery in its housing, cover the terminals with copper grease to improve the contact between the terminals and the connectors, and to limit the development of oxidation; start by reattaching the positive terminal, then the negative terminal of the battery.

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.
