Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Radiator
Operation: Change to the heating system for models built before 2008

The modification consists in deriving the water pipe directly from the primary pipe of the radiator. For the derivation it is necessary to obtain the kit. In order not to empty the radiator, to cut the pipe, it is necessary to create two bottlenecks downstream and upstream using fixed wrenches and clamps or other tools capable of blocking the flow of the liquid. In the middle of the bottlenecks, cut the pipe and insert the derivation that must be fixed with hose clamps. The tube to be derived must also be choked with a surgical forceps or similar tool and cut. The remaining abutment must be hermetically sealed with a suitable cap. At this point, create the new connection between the branch just installed and the removed pipe and remove the bottlenecks on the primary pipe.

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.
