Replacing the differential oil is not a maintenance that is part of ordinary habits but making the gears work with clean oil is always a guarantee to preserve wear, above all because replacing it is very simple and at the same time economical; then place the car on special stands for cars, intercept the oil drain plug on the differential housing (located in the center at the rear towards the bottom) and unscrew it after having positioned a pan to collect the oil; to facilitate draining it is also necessary to unscrew the filler cap located in the upper front part of the differential; Once the drain is complete, clean and screw the drain plug and pour clean oil through the filler plug using a syringe: the level is reached when the oil starts to flow out.

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.
