Part: Timing belt
Operation: When to change the timing belt?

The timing belt is a fundamental component for the correct functioning of the engine and, in the event of a failure, the damage caused will almost certainly be irreparable. In general, we can say that the timing belt should be replaced between 100,000 and 180,000 km, or every 5 or 6 years of use. It is very important to have the condition of the timing belt checked regularly by your mechanic, as the latter, in addition to replacing it before it breaks completely, is able to identify the causes that have determined its deterioration. It is advisable to have the belt checked every 30,000 km after passing the 60,000 km traveled.

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.
