Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Ford Focus?

The timing belt of the Ford Focus can be replaced by opening the hood and completely removing the components located to the left of the engine block. Once all these components have been removed, it will be possible to loosen the screws that secure the left cover of the engine block, accessing the underlying belt arranged around the respective pulleys. By loosening the central nut that secures the belt tensioner pulley, it will be possible to reduce the tension of the belt itself and completely remove it from its seat so that a new one can be inserted.

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.
