Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK V, MK 5, Polo V, Polo 5, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Air filter
Operation: How to replace the air filter in the Volkswagen Polo?

As we can see in this tutorial, replacing the air filter in the Volkswagen Polo is an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, we wait for the engine to cool down, then we open the hood and locate the airbox, which is located in front of the windshield on the driver's side. Next, we unscrew the screws along the perimeter of the airbox with a Torx T20 screwdriver, unlock the front clips, and separate the upper half of the box. At this point, we can remove the old filter, clean the housing from any dirt residue, and install the replacement.

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.
