Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Part: Muffler
Operation: Automobile muffler replacement

The guide shows how to change the muffler of your car without necessarily resorting to the mechanic and necessarily spending a lot of money. If the muffler starts to annoy with strange and loud noises that disturb the hearing, then it is time to change it. First you need to evaluate the damage of the old muffler. If the hole causing the noise turns out to be small it will be noticed immediately and we can then simply close it with the putty. If, on the other hand, the muffler is rather deteriorated, it will need to be replaced. Between the connecting pipe and the pipe that reaches the manifold, we find precisely a clamp that we will have to unscrew. The new muffler must be inserted and tightly screwed the band of the connecting pipe and the manifold.

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.
