Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, MK IV, Polo IV, 9N, MK 4 - Years 2001-2009
Part: Door
Operation: How to unlock the locked door of the Volkswagen Polo

This is a very annoying process that could also be harmful for the repairs to be carried out. Remove the plastic part that is located around the latch of the door in question, in this way you will have access to a slightly internal part of the handle, and by making a few levers in the release point of the handle you will be able to unlock it. If this method does not work you will have to go and cut a part of the door and work with a lockpick on the inside of the door in order to unlock it. Once you have managed to unlock the handle you will have to count the damage and try to recover what is possible.

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.
