Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Engine head
Operation: How to remove the cylinder head of a Ford Focus

Let's see together how to remove the cylinder head of a Ford Focus. To begin: we remove the plastic soundproofing panel on the engine head and remove the oil dipstick. We disconnect all the terminals that bring electricity to the engine glow plugs with needle nose pliers. Remove the filter and battery box, the various wiring present on the head (disconnect the metal clamps of the various pipes and the various power supply terminals with pliers). We remove the metal belt cover and all its parts; unscrew all the pins of the engine head with a socket wrench or electric screwdriver, remove it together with the gasket. Let's reassemble everything by proceeding backwards.

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.
