Mazda Mpv - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Mpv LW - Years 1999-2006
Part: Gear oil
Operation: Gearbox oil replacement instructions

In order to easily change the gearbox oil, it is advisable to raise the car on suitable car stands. In the center of the gearbox, on the side of the coupling with the engine, there is the oil drain plug: place a pan of suitable capacity to collect the used oil and unscrew the plug; once the drain is complete, screw it back on. Prepare a funnel with a tube to insert into the gearbox hole - where there is the stick for checking the level for filling, under the brake oil tank - with the new oil (check the specifications and quantities by consulting the use and maintenance manual), by accessing from the engine compartment. Then check the level several times.

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.
