Ford Fiesta - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK V, MK 5 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Pump
Operation: Ford Fiesta windshield washer pump replacement.

Before starting any maintenance operation on a car, it is necessary to take the precaution, in order to preserve the operator's safety, to place the car on a flat surface or on the bridge. The windshield washer pump, in the 2004 Ford Fiesta, is located in the front area of the vehicle, so we open the hood of the engine compartment and remove, first of all, the car grille and, then, the left headlight unit, one of the three screws that block it is, in fact, under it. Now, let's identify the water tank of the washer and, therefore, the relative pump. We disconnect the power supply, disconnect the 2 tubes and remove, simply by pulling it out, the pump from its seat. We replace it with the new one and reassemble everything, following the operations seen but proceeding backwards. To prevent the new pump from breaking again, it is a good idea to put silicone, water and electrical contacts to protect it.

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.
