Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Petrol filter
Operation: Disassembly and replacement of the petrol filter

The fuel filter is a component that must be replaced regularly. To proceed with this operation it is necessary to wear protective goggles and rubber gloves. The tools needed are: new replacement filter hose clamps, screwdriver, ratchet wrench and wire cutters. The first operation consists in removing the fuse relating to the fuel pump in order to cut off the current during the replacement work. Lift the machine and secure it and then locate the filter. Place a plastic sheet in the work area to catch any gasoline that may spill. The filter is fixed with a front and a rear bracket that must be removed to allow you to remove the hose clamps that lock it to the supply hose. Once the clamps have been removed, remove the filter allowing the petrol to flow into a basin. Install the new filter paying attention to the flow direction indicated by an arrow on the filter itself.

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.
