Volvo V40 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo V40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2012
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Remove the center console on 2003 Volvo V40

In today's video we will see the step by step steps to be able to remove the dashboard center console on a 2003 Volvo V40, first generation. First of all we get on board the car and start removing the car radio, removing the side pins with something sharp; then disconnect the electrical connectors on the back. At this point we lever the central plastic cover to remove them, unscrewing all the fixing screws that we find below; now we remove the air conditioning controls and the air vents, in order to completely disassemble our center console!

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.
