Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Crankshaft RPM sensor
Operation: How do you replace the crankshaft position sensor on the Ford Focus?

In order to replace the engine speed sensor on the Ford Focus, you need to open the hood so that you can remove the radiator located at the front of the engine compartment. Once the radiator has been removed, you can locate the engine speed sensor, which is located at the bottom of the engine block; the sensor can also be accessed from the underside of the car. It is possible to remove it by unscrewing the fixing bolt and disconnecting the appropriate connector; at this point, you can insert the new sensor, connecting and securing it properly.

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.
