Part: Lock
Operation: Disassembly of the lock and door handle of the Volkswagen Polo.

Below we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the lock and external handle of the front door of the Volkswagen Polo. First, we open the front door and start unscrewing the fixing screws that we find on the side of the door, using a Torx screwdriver. Then, as a first step, we remove the lock cylinder, subsequently removing the external handle, as shown in the video. At this point, we install the new handle and lock cylinder, following the video tutorial until the end!

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.
