In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the glow plugs in the Volkswagen Tiguan, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, make sure that the engine is completely cool, then open the hood, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, and release the fastening clips of the upper wiring. Proceed by disconnecting all the power connectors of the glow plugs, apply some loosening spray, and unscrew the first one using the appropriate key.

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.
