Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Removing the fuel tank filler pipe

The pipe that connects the tank cap to the tank itself passes from behind the wheel arch and over time can deteriorate due to corrosion; to be able to replace it, it is necessary to lift the car and remove the right rear wheel (passenger side) and then remove the wheel arch lining by releasing the rosette locks; once the tube is reached, unscrew the fixing screws of the support brackets and finally open the tank cap door to unscrew the screws that fix the cap flange and remove the door complete with internal rubber lining: at this point the tube can be removed.

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.
