Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Passenger compartment heating radiator
Operation: How to replace the radiator heating of the car passenger compartment

The heating radiator is located at the bottom, under the hood. Heat is created by the internal combustion of the engine. This heat is transferred to the coolant and circulates through the thermostat and through the radiator. When a radiator leaks, it can cause extensive damage to the engine, due to its overheating, and must therefore be replaced. The following guide shows you how to proceed. To proceed with the operation, the engine must be cold and once its position has been identified, it can be replaced. It is best to disconnect the battery before proceeding with the operation. After removing the car heater radiator, the mounting unit, hole position and other supports should be checked before you are ready to install the new radiator.

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.
