Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK 4, Polo IV, 9N, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Lock
Operation: How do you replace the ignition switch of the Volkswagen Polo?

In order to replace the ignition switch of the Volkswagen Polo, you need to completely dismantle the steering wheel by removing the central airbag and unscrewing the nut that holds it to the steering column. Once the steering wheel has been completely removed, you can detach the plastic covers that surround the steering column to access the underlying components. Here you will find the ignition switch, which can be removed from its housing by disconnecting the connectors and unscrewing the fixing screws. After removal, you can insert the new ignition switch and reassemble all the previously removed components.

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.
