Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Pump
Operation: How to replace the windshield washer pump on an Opel Astra

Before starting, we will have to turn the wheels of our Opel Astra totally to the right. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the screws in the left wheel arch, and then unhooking and moving the internal cover of the wheel arch. By doing so, we will have reached the washer pump, which we will have to go and disengage from its housing. At this point, we will have to disconnect the relative sleeve, to then remove the washer pump, and we will have finished the disassembly. To fit the new washer pump, we will simply have to repeat these steps in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.

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.
