Ford Focus - Video tutorial

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

Today we will explain how to replace the timing belt of the Ford Focus model 3. The model of the belt to be used for this type of vehicle is the "CT1162WP2". We begin the replacement by removing the starter motor, the engine support, the Poly-V belt, and the tensioner. During the removal of the starter motor, it is advisable to insert a plastic tool to block the rear flywheel and loosen the pulley more easily. We then remove the pulley and the engine support bearing and remove the timing belt cover. We then screw back the engine shaft screw and unscrew those of the belt drive so that we can finally remove it. Now we move on to the replacement. We insert the belt and mount the drive, insert the pulley and the bearing, tighten the pulley, and reassemble the starter motor.

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.
