Operation: How to replace the cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Polo

Replacing the cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Polo is a relatively simple operation that you can do yourself by following a few steps. Keep in mind that the exact location and procedure may vary slightly depending on the production year and version of your Volkswagen Polo. Below, I will provide you with a general procedure:

Note: Make sure to consult your specific Volkswagen Polo user manual for further instructions and specific indications.

1. Identify the location of the cabin air filter: Usually, the cabin air filter is located in the front of the cabin, near the passenger compartment. It may be accessible under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.

2. Open the engine hood and locate the access to the cabin air filter. Sometimes, the filter can be reached by opening a panel on the lower part of the windshield inside the cabin.

3. Remove the cabin air filter cover: You may need to unscrew or unfasten some clips or screws to access the filter.

4. Remove the old filter: Carefully pull out the used filter. It may be covered in dust and debris, so make sure to avoid dropping them into the cabin.

5. Clean the area: Before installing the new filter, make sure to clean any debris or dirt in the filter area.

6. Install the new filter: Ensure that the new filter is in the correct position and follow any orientation indications or arrows.

7. Put the filter cover back in place: Make sure it is securely fastened.

8. Close the engine hood and ensure that everything is properly stored.

Remember to use the correct cabin air filter for your Volkswagen Polo, as there may be different sizes or types depending on the vehicle model.

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.
