Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Oil filter
Operation: Engine oil and fillter replacement

Before removing the oil filter, unscrew the drain plug under the oil pan to drain the used oil; while the drain is complete, intercept the oil filter which is located right in front of the oil pan: unscrew it using a metal clamp or chain wrench, like the one used in the video; once the old filter has been removed, sprinkle the gasket of the new filter with clean oil to improve its adhesion and screw it into its seat without exceeding the tightening torque (manual tightening is also sufficient); screw the sump cap back on and fill the engine with clean oil until the level is reached.

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.
