Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo IV, MK 4, 9N, Polo 4, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: How do you replace the gearshift knob on the 2007 Volkswagen Polo?

Before we start, let's get a plastic lever, a pair of pliers, and two flathead screwdrivers, in addition to the new shift knob, of course. Using the lever, we remove the frame of the shift knob as shown in the video. We lift the shift knob and turn it upside down so that the metal strap is visible, which we remove using the pliers and one of the screwdrivers. We pull the shift knob upwards and slide it off along with the shift knob cover. We move to a work table and completely free the shift knob by removing the various fasteners (including the plastic ring). Now, we can install the new shift knob, and to do so, we just need to retrace our steps in reverse.

How to open the Piaggio Beverly saddle with a flat battery

In today's video we see how to open the Piaggio Beverly saddle in case the service battery has run out. First we proceed by opening the compartment on the shield, using the appropriate key. Inside we will find a lever that we will have to pull; at the same time we proceed to unhook the saddle, lifting it. These two operations together, with a little elbow grease, will allow you to open the saddle in cases of extreme need. In fact, we recommend carrying out this operation only if strictly necessary, otherwise it could compromise the correct functioning of the mechanism in the long run.
