Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Spark plugs
Operation: Replacing the glow plugs of a Ford Focus

If we have problems with the glow plugs it is best to replace them immediately, let's see how. We pull the lever to open the engine compartment located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the front hood, we secure the same. Remove the motor cover panel, unscrew the tightening screws on the sides of the coil; we grab the coil with our hands and rotate it in a twist way, until it comes out of the head. We unscrew the glow plug with a socket wrench. We mount the new glow plug inside the engine head, connect the coil. We replace all damaged glow plugs.

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.
