Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK IV, Polo IV, 9N, MK 4 - Years 2001-2009
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the Poly-V belt on Volkswagen Polo IV

How to replace the accessory belt on a Volkswagen Polo IV: First, lift the vehicle using a jack and two jack stands. It's always better not to rely too much on our car jack if we need to work underneath the vehicle. Open the engine hood. Pull the belt tensioner pulley sideways using a combination wrench size 16, then remove the belt. The complete kit for a new tensioner pulley costs 35.29 euros on Auto-doc, plus 9.95 euros for shipping expenses. It is advisable to replace the tensioner pulley at this stage. Install the new belt: be careful because the markings on the belt should rotate clockwise. To ensure that the belt fits well on the pulleys, pull the tensioner pulley sideways. Slide the belt in and make sure it is properly positioned. You can lower the vehicle and close the hood. Operation completed.

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.
