Ford Ka - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Ka MK 1 - Years 1996-2008
Part: Timing belt
Operation: When should the timing belt of the Ford Ka be replaced?

It is essential to replace the timing belt of the Ford Ka to avoid serious damage to the engine, especially to the pistons, valves, camshaft, and so on. This maintenance is recommended every 100,000 km or every 5 years. This job usually involves not only replacing the timing belt, but also the accessory belt and the water pump. Focusing now on the timing belt alone, the process involves lifting the vehicle from the right side, removing the wheel and fender, removing the timing belt cover, loosening the tensioner pulley, and then removing the aforementioned belt.

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.
