Part: Radiator
Operation: How to replace the radiator in a Volkswagen Golf?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the radiator in the Volkswagen Golf, an operation that requires good manual skills. First of all, we lift the front side of the vehicle, then we remove the wheels, the bumper, and both fenders. We continue by removing the cross support bar, then we remove the headlights and later the entire front support of the chassis. At this point, we can disconnect the various radiator hoses, drain all the liquid contained in the system, and remove it from the support. To install the replacement, it will be sufficient to 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.
