Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Alternator
Operation: Guide to replacing the alternator

The alternator is not located in an easily accessible area so you will have to make your way carefully into the engine compartment. You start by removing the tube indicated in the video, first from the side with the quick coupling, then from the fixed side, then disconnect the power connectors present, possibly marking them to facilitate correct reassembly and continue by removing the power steering oil pan . To remove the belt it is better to be two to be able to work from below and from above at the same time. Now unscrew the fixing screws of the alternator, following the video you can see that, due to the limited space, it was necessary to free the engine support in order to create the necessary clearance for the complete removal of the fixing screws and the alternator. In cars other than the Ford Focus ST 16V Zetec in the video, the procedure may be different.

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.
