Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Thermostat
Operation: Ford Focus thermostat replacement

Today, in this video tutorial, we will see how to remove and replace the thermostat of a Ford Focus first series. First we go to lift the car and remove the hose clamp of the radiator hose: then let all the coolant drain into a container. At this point we lower the car and disconnect the electrical connector from the engine compartment and remove the tube from our thermostat; now unscrew the side screws with a ratchet wrench and extract the thermostat. Let's clean up and reassemble the new spare part, following the video tutorial to the end!

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.
