Volkswagen New Beetle - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Petrol filter
Operation: Removal and replacement of the petrol filter.

First of all, identify the position of the petrol filter which is located underneath the car near the petrol tank itself. At this point, unscrew the clamp screw that holds the filter in place. Disconnect the hose that brings the fuel to the filter using a screwdriver and a small plastic lever as we see in the video. Beware of gasoline splashes in your eyes. Now disconnect the filter from the other tube in the back. To do this, carry out the same operation with a screwdriver and plastic lever. The maintenance operation is carried out on a Volkswagen New Beetle (this also applies to a VW Golf or a Jetta or an Audi TT).

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.
