Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Radiator
Operation: Coolant drainage on Ford Focus

On Ford Focus models 1998 thru 2004 there are not many places to drain the coolant. The only "good" point is, as shown in the video, on the left side of the vehicle: then lift the car with a jack and locate the aforementioned bolt shown in the video and obviously connected to the radiator. Unscrew it with an 8 mm Allen wrench and insert a tube that will have to send the liquid into the container of your choice. It will take 10 - 15 minutes for complete drainage. For correct cleaning of the radiator circuit it is recommended to fill this circuit even with water only and to drain it a second time.

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.
