Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Thermostat
Operation: Removing and replacing the thermostat

This video shows us how to remove and replace the water thermostat in our car. First we identify where it is located and proceed with its disassembly; we remove the two pipes that bring the coolant to the thermostat and try to squeeze them to prevent the coolant from escaping during disassembly. Once the operations have been carried out, proceed with unscrewing the screws on the thermostat to start extracting it; once extracted, insert the new thermostat in its seat and apply some gasket before fixing it. Finally, we check that the coolant is at the right level and check that the new thermostat is working correctly.

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.
