Ford Fiesta - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK V, MK 5 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Battery
Operation: How to change the battery of the Ford Fiesta V petrol

Let's see how to change the battery on the Ford Fiesta MK5. We open the hood of the car; the battery is located to the right of the engine. We start by unscrewing the battery support bar with a 10 socket wrench. Now we disconnect the negative pole of the battery, making sure that the cable is well away from the battery itself. Now let's move on to the positive pole. Now we can take the battery handle and remove it. Scrub the inside of the battery terminals with fine sandpaper to remove the oxide. On the new battery, coat the terminals with copper grease to improve contact with the wires. Insert the new battery, restart the positive terminal, then the negative one. Put the battery support bar in place. Operation completed.

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.
