Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Recharge the air conditioning of your car

Today it is no longer possible to do without, especially when the seasons change, to check the condition of the air conditioning of our car. The following guide shows us how to recharge the air conditioning without any difficulty and following, diligently, some simple steps. To recharge the refrigerant it is necessary to open the valve on the fitting and insert the valve with the refrigerant spout, and then close it completely. The charging pipe must then be purged by opening the valve until it fills with refrigerant. The low charge pressure on the car's refrigerant line must then be identified and the quick coupling connected, making sure it does not leak.

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.
