Open the hood and locate the EGR valve located close to the front bezel. The thermostat is located on an aluminum sleeve which must be removed. Remove the two hose clamps placed on the duct to completely remove the adjustment sensor. The thermostat must be disassembled using a fixed wrench by removing the two side nuts. Remove the various pipes to access the thermostat and proceed with its removal. Install the new thermostat and continue with the assembly of the various elements previously removed.

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.
