Part: Control unit
Operation: Where is the engine control unit located in the Volkswagen Polo?

In this video, we can see where the engine control unit is located in the Volkswagen Polo, which is useful in case we need to replace it due to a malfunction. As shown, the specific control unit is positioned inside the engine compartment, precisely in the left area of the rear wall, on our right when looking at the vehicle from the front. Before removing the control unit, make sure the key is not inserted, then unscrew the single lower bolt and disconnect the connectors on the right side. To install the replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.

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.
