Part: Fuel pump
Operation: How to replace the VW Polo fuel pump

Usually the first time the ignition is switched on, the sound of the activation of the fuel pump is heard coming from the rear part of the passenger compartment: if this does not happen, first check the integrity of the pump protection fuse and if this is healthy then it means that The electric motor of the pump is damaged; on this model it is possible to replace just the pump motor without having to change the entire basket; therefore remove the rear seat seat to access the pump seat, remove the rubber protection cap, disconnect the pipes and power socket and then unscrew the fixing ring nut and extract the basket complete with pump and float; replace the pump motor and then proceed backwards for reassembly.

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.
