Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How do you replace the engine oil on a Ford Focus?

To be able to replace the engine oil in the Ford Focus, you need to go and lift the car with a jack or a bridge, so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment: here you will need to unscrew the screws that hold the skid plate , so that this is removed. The oil tank drain plug can now be unscrewed to collect the used oil in a suitably positioned container. In the front part it will also be possible to identify the oil filter, which must in turn be removed and replaced with a new one. After the replacement, it will be possible to top up from inside the engine compartment.

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.
