Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK 4, Polo IV, 9N, MK IV - Years 2001-2009
Part: Alternator
Operation: How do you replace the alternator of the Volkswagen Polo?

The replacement of the alternator of the Volkswagen Polo is done by opening the hood, so that access can be gained to the components located inside the engine compartment: on the left side of the engine block, it will be possible to locate the accessory belt, which must be removed by loosening the nut that secures the corresponding tensioner. Once the accessory belt is removed, it will be possible to unscrew all the screws that fix the alternator to its supports, also disconnecting its connectors. At this point, it will be possible to insert the new alternator, connecting and securing it properly.

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.
