Mazda 3 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Coolant temperature sensor
Operation: Coolant temperature sensor replacement

First of all, it is suggested to carry out this maintenance with a cold engine to avoid unpleasant burns; the coolant temperature sensor is located at the rear right of the engine (when viewed from the front), behind the fourth cylinder. Once the socket connected to it has been disconnected, use a 19 mm ball wrench of the extended type due to the shape of the sensor itself; then unscrew the old sensor and install the new one by first screwing it manually and then tightening it with the key; finally connect the socket, reset any error with a diagnosis and start the engine to check its operation.

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.
