Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Engine coolant replacement

It is necessary to replace the engine coolant when it appears very dark: this color is determined by the presence of rust in the system, often generated by the fact that the system itself has been filled with simple water; open the cap of the coolant tank, intercept the drain valve on the bottom of the radiator and remove it to allow the system to drain; once all the liquid has escaped, reassemble the valve and fill the system with the appropriate coolant; start the engine also activating the passenger compartment heating, wait for the operating temperature to be reached until the cooling fan is switched on and then check the level in the reservoir again.

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.
