Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 4, Golf IV, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Engine
Operation: How reliable can a Volkswagen 1.6 TDI engine be?

In response to the question: how reliable can a Volkswagen TDI engine be? We answer with this video that shows a Volkswagen Golf with the impressive mileage of 531,000 kilometers still running perfectly. Of course, it has a few small defects, such as a bearing that needs to be replaced, but unfortunately, we can't do anything for it because no one will ever buy it with 530,000 kilometers, and its only fate is scrapping. However, this demonstrates that careful maintenance can work wonders. And that a vehicle like this, with 180/200,000 kilometers, still has a long life ahead of it and if the opportunity arises, it can be purchased as long as it has been serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

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.
