To carry out this maintenance it is absolutely essential that the engine is cold; then remove the plastic cover on the engine head to access the spark plug seats, then extract the pipettes by pulling them upwards; before unscrewing the spark plugs it is suggested to blow into their respective seats to eliminate any residual dirt that could end up inside the cylinders; after cleaning, unscrew the spark plugs and extract them to be able to apply the new ones (check compatibility by comparing the codes) without exceeding the tightening torque. Before repositioning the pipettes it is recommended to clean them inside with contact spray.

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.
