Porsche 911 - Video tutorial

Model: Porsche 911 996 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Air filter
Operation: Engine air filter replacement

Replacing the engine air filter is an extremely simple operation that does not require special equipment or skills. In fact, it is sufficient to unscrew the fixing screws of the filter housing cover and disconnect the sleeve from the throttle body to facilitate lifting and therefore extraction of the filter. Once you are sure there are no residues of dirt inside the filter housing (remove them using a vacuum cleaner and not compressed air), apply the new filter and reassemble everything by proceeding backwards. In the case of the car in question, you could also opt for the installation of a sports-type filter which, in addition to improving engine performance, will not have to be replaced in subsequent maintenance but simply washed with the appropriate detergents.

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.
