Volkswagen Jetta - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Jetta A5, MK 5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Lock
Operation: How do you remove the ignition switch of the Volkswagen Jetta?

In order to remove the ignition switch of the Volkswagen Jetta, you must first loosen the clips that secure the airbag in the center of the steering wheel, so that it can be removed by disconnecting the underlying connectors. Once the airbag has been removed, you can loosen the central nut that secures the steering wheel: this must also be removed so that you can access the plastics that surround the steering column. Once these plastics have been removed, you can access the ignition switch, which must be detached from its housing by unscrewing the fixing screws and disconnecting the power cables.

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.
