Operation: How to replace the thermostat in the Volkswagen Passat?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the thermostat in the Volkswagen Passat, a simple operation but one that requires good manual skills. First of all, make sure that the engine is completely cold, then open the hood and remove both the intake manifold and the throttle body. Next, go under the vehicle, disconnect the radiator hose and drain all the coolant from the system. At this point, we can disconnect all the hoses connected to the thermostat, unscrew the respective fastening bolts, and proceed with the installation of the replacement.

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.
