Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Control unit
Operation: Reset of the ECU unit of the Opel Astra.

Today's guide will show us how to perform a general reset of the ECU unit of the Opel Astra. There are 2 ways to reset the ECU; the first test we will perform is to disconnect the battery terminals, waiting a few minutes before reconnecting everything. If the problem is not resolved, then it will be necessary to disconnect and remove the ECU unit, connecting it to a diagnostic software to perform the reset (after powering it electrically). If the ECU unit is no longer repairable, it will need to be replaced with a new one!

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.
