Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Mass air flow sensor
Operation: How to clean the mass air flow sensor of the Opel Astra 1.7 JTD

The mass air flow sensor is (usually) positioned between the air filter box and the intake pipe, this component can get dirty and give incorrect information to the engine control unit. To clean the mass air flow sensor of any MultiJet car, proceed as follows. First disconnect the electrical connector and then the two steel clamps that connect the mass air flow sensor to the filter box and to the suction pipe; once released you can clean it thoroughly with a contact cleaner (the Arexons one is used in the video). Let it dry, perhaps using a jet of air to facilitate the complete removal of dirt and proceed to reassemble it in its seat, taking care to secure the two steel clamps and the electrical connector. Operation finished.

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.
