Hyundai Santa Fe - Video tutorial

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacement of the head fixing pins

When carrying out a repair that required disassembly of the cylinder head, in the subsequent assembly phase it is good practice to use a new set of gaskets and oil seals as well as new pins for fixing the cylinder head itself; then go over the threaded holes with a tap to eliminate thread locking residues or dents, prevent chip residues from ending up in the cylinders, position the new gasket and the head to be fixed with the new set of pins, applying copper grease on the bottom of the fillet and immediately under the head; tighten the pins in a crisscross pattern using both the torque wrench and the graduated wrench.

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.
