Operation: How do you replace the gear knob of the Volkswagen Golf?

In order to replace the gear knob of the Volkswagen Golf, you need to lever with an object so that the clips located at the base of the leather covering can be detached: once the covering has been lifted, it will be possible to detach the hook located under the covering, in the part between it and the knob. Then the old knob and the corresponding covering can be removed, inserting the new replacement piece. After the replacement, it will be possible to reattach the knob and the clips to the base of the covering.

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.
