Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK V, MK 5, Polo V, Polo 5, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How do you replace the front shock absorber of the Volkswagen Polo?

To replace the front shock absorber of the Volkswagen Polo, you need to open the hood so that the top left protective panel can be detached, corresponding to the top part of the shock absorber. Once this panel has been removed, you will need to unscrew the bolt underneath using a specific key; now it will be possible to lift the car to loosen the screws that secure the corresponding wheel, removing it completely. Once this has been removed, you can proceed by detaching the hub from the driveshaft, so that the additional screws securing the shock absorber can be loosened, removing it and replacing it with a new one.

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.
