Part: Particulate filter
Operation: How to clean the diesel particulate filter

In this short video tutorial we can see how to clean the particulate filter in the Diesel engine of cars, by following these simple steps: if your car has power drops or malfunctions due to a clogged filter, the first thing to do is to purchase a Wurth particle filter cleaner (see description in the video), from an authorized dealer; next step we have to board the car, turn off the car and pull the handbrake. Lift the bonnet and secure it with the appropriate rod. Without necessarily disassembling the filter, let's disassemble the temperature or pressure sensor, insert the probe through the opening and empty the entire contents, (we must not use the filter cleaner with a hot engine). Subsequently a regeneration must be carried out (without the regeneration the cleaning procedure will have no effect), via diagnostics or test drive.

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.
