Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Thermostat
Operation: How to change the thermostat on the Ford Focus MK2

In today's video we will see the instructions to remove and replace the thermostat on the Ford Focus second series, following these simple steps. First we open the bonnet of our car and start by disconnecting the radiator fluid hose connected to our thermostat; let all the liquid drain into a container. At this point we use a socket wrench to unscrew the fixing screws of the thermostat; let's extract it and replace it with the new one. So we just have to reassemble everything, fixing the thermostat correctly and pouring the new coolant!

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.
