Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the timing belt of the Ford Focus

Let's see today how to replace the service belt in the Ford Focus. We open the front hood, pulling the inside lever, then we raise the car on the bridge. We identify the bolt to loosen and act on it. The timing belt will now be loosened from the pulley and we can easily remove it. We install the new belt (which you can buy in all online and physical spare parts stores), making sure to put it in the right tension. Once this is done, we verify the correctness of the work, and we pull the car off the bridge. Let's make it work and see if everything is ok.

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.
