Lexus IS - Video tutorial

Model: Lexus IS MK 3 - Years 2013-2023
Part: Engine
Operation: Why does the car report carbon buildup?

Open the engine compartment hood. Check the spark plugs and injectors and see if any combustion residues have accumulated in them. To check the carbon level in the car you need to connect a small, dedicated computer with dedicated software and run the engine emissions check. There is probably a customer support program of the car manufacturer which, in this case, has a duration of 9 years with no limit of Km traveled. To prevent this problem, there are special products on the market (different according to the type of engine) that can be put into the engine. The car on which the maintenance operation shown in the images is carried out is carried out on a Lexus IS.

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.
