Operation: How to change the air filter of a Volkswagen Polo

Let's see how to change the engine air filter of a Volkswagen Polo. It's an easy job that anyone can do. We open the hood and lift the engine cover. We disconnect the hose, go to the air intake manifold, and unscrew the three cross-shaped screws that hold it closed. We loosen the two cross-shaped screws of the air intake pipe. We open the cover and remove the dirty filter. We replace it, after cleaning the compartment from which we removed it, from dust and debris, with a vacuum cleaner or a blast of compressed air. We put the new filter in its place and close the compartment again, putting back all five screws that we removed. We reattach the hose and put the cover back in place. 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.
