Lifting the vehicle: Make sure to safely lift the vehicle using an appropriate lift or jacks and place adequate supports to ensure the stability of the vehicle.

Installing the new timing belt: Properly position the new timing belt, following the manufacturer's specifications for correct alignment and tension. It is important to ensure that the belt is correctly positioned on the timing gears and that the timing marks are aligned properly.

Tensioning the timing belt: Using the appropriate tools, adjust the tension of the timing belt according to the manufacturer's specifications. Make sure the tension is correct to avoid slipping or breaking of the belt.

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.
