Mazda Cx7 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Cx7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Turbine
Operation: Intercooler disassembly instructions

The intercooler or intercooler is an air / air or air / water heat exchanger, which cools the air entering the engine with the aim of introducing the air into the engine at the optimum temperature for combustion. It is installed between the turbocharger and the engine, the relative cooling radiator is generally positioned in front of the vehicle or under the hood, in correspondence with a suitable air intake. The turbocharger exploits the rotation exerted by the gases leaving the exhaust manifold to compress the air at the intake, allowing it to achieve higher performance than aspirated internal combustion engines. However, the rapid compression of the air increases its temperature, decreasing its density and therefore limiting the amount of air drawn in by the engine. Furthermore, the high temperatures of the combustion gases that set the turbine in rotation strongly heat the turbo which releases further heat to the sucked air. The intercooler, through the appropriate cooling circuit, reduces the temperature of the air, thus increasing its density (cold air in fact occupies less volume than the hot one) and increasing, at the same pressure, the quantity of comburent in the chamber. combustion, improving the overall efficiency of the engine both in terms of consumption and performance and reliability (some components are subjected to minor thermal stresses). Having said this, the disassembly of the intercooler on the car in question is extremely simple: it is located right at the head of the engine and it is sufficient to disconnect the air inlet and outlet sleeves and the relative fixing screws.

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.
