Hyundai Santa Fe - Video tutorial

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Air conditioning compressor replacement

If the air conditioning compressor has stopped working due to a mechanical failure inside it, then it is likely that there is also a problem with the condenser dryer: before proceeding with the replacement of the compressor, it is advisable to replace the filter dryer inside the condenser; first start with the recovery of the gas present in the system, proceed with disassembling the air conditioning radiator which is located right in front of the engine cooling radiator in order to replace the filter by unscrewing the cap on the bottom of the dryer; proceed with disassembling the air conditioning compressor, releasing the pulley from the auxiliary belt and then disconnecting the pipes and unscrewing the fixing pins; at this point, install the new compressor, making sure to fill it with the specific oil, and then complete the installation of the condenser by replacing all the o-rings. The work is completed by carrying out the vacuum and the gas refill.

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.
