Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf 5K1, MK 6, Golf 6, Golf VI - Years 2008-2012
Part: Handle
Operation: How do you replace the external handle of the Volkswagen Golf 6?

In order to replace the external handle of the Volkswagen Golf, you need to open the door so that you can detach the rubber grommets located on the side of the door itself: underneath them, you will be able to locate the screws that secure the lock cylinder to its housing. Once the screws have been loosened, you can extract the lock cylinder from the outside, allowing the handle to be freed from its housing; the new replacement piece can then be inserted, and the lock cylinder can be positioned and secured with the side screws.

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.
