Ford Fiesta - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 6, Fiesta 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: Replacement hydraulic pistons on Ford Fiesta

Open the boot lid and use, as shown in the video, a flat head screwdriver to release the piston from its seat. Do this on both piston mounts and support the boot with a hydraulic kickstand. The operation is really very simple and very fast. Similarly, to mount the new pistons, all you have to do is place the "female" hooks of the same on the "male" attachments on the bodywork and push them with your hands until they fit snugly. Nothing easier! Check the correct operation of the tailgate by raising and lowering it a couple of times.

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.
