Mazda Cx 7 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Thermostat
Operation: Thermostatic valve replacement

The malfunction of the thermostatic valve can seriously damage the engine since it has the task of opening and closing the refrigeration circuit (the valve can jam due to the formation of rust). The valve replacement operation must therefore be carried out with the engine cold since water will escape from the system during disassembly. The valve is located in the lower left part of the motor (when viewed from the front) and is located inside a metal fitting to which the hoses are connected. Before installing the new one, carefully clean the seat and apply sealant putty. Finally top up the coolant level and replace it if necessary.

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.
