Mazda Rx 8 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Accessory Kit
Operation: Replacement spark plugs and spark plug cables

In order to access the ignition coils, the air filter container must be removed (it is simply stuck on rubber supports. Obviously disconnect the sockets and sleeves connected to it) and the pipe that connects the filter to the throttle body. Access to the spark plugs is instead allowed from the wheel arch: it is therefore necessary to lift the car sideways, remove the front left wheel and the plastic cover placed as protection. At this point, release the pipettes and unscrew the spark plugs to be able to replace them (carry out the operation with a cold engine): carry out the operation one at a time if you do not want to make a mistake in the sequence of the cables.

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.
