Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of a Ford Focus?

The operation of replacing the timing belt on the Ford Focus is done by loosening the bolts that secure the front right wheel of the car, after it has been lifted. The inner cover of the wheel arch must then be removed in order to loosen the belt tensioner; then the hood must be opened and the left side cover of the engine compartment removed, so that the belt can be removed from the appropriate pulleys. At this point, the new belt can be inserted around the pulleys, so that it is tensioned again by installing the belt tensioner roller.

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.
