Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Operation: How to solve the problem of high rpm and unstable idle on the Ford Focus 1.6 MK1

In this video tutorial we will see the cause of the idle actuator malfunction, which allows you to lower the idle properly and keep the engine at low revs, on the Ford Focus first series with 1.6 petrol engine. This component, which we find near the throttle body, is often the main cause that does not allow the engine to work regularly; then let's find the spare part on the engine compartment and unscrew the fixing screws to remove and replace it. At this point we are going to apply a light layer of sealant on the base to fix everything!

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.
