Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: V-belt
Operation: Auxiliary belt replacement instructions

The replacement of the auxiliary belt is very simple to carry out but it is important to take note of the passage through the various pulleys to proceed more quickly with the installation of the new one (you can make a sketch or a photo); therefore remove the plastic protection at the base of the pulleys to facilitate the removal of the belt, loosen the tensioner by rotating it anti-clockwise and remove the old belt; make sure that the new belt is compliant both in terms of length and number of grooves; pass it through the pulleys and tension it.

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.
