eto ba yung same sa ecosport na parang may nakapatong pa sa ibabaw ng battery? i don't know with ford engineers why they designed it that way.. dami need to remove just to get to the battery...

my tita asked me to perform basic maintenance sa ford eco nya due to expensive casa prices.. i bought the consumables sa autosupply.. grabe yung cabin filter.. dami need baklasin just to access it under the dash.. sa ibang sasakyan, glove compartment lang tinatanggal eh.. sa ford, halos kalahit nung center console eh baklas.. naka torx screw pa instead of ordinary philips head screw...

Parang ayaw nila ipagalaw no? Hindi DIY friendly. But if you know what you’re doing (maybe watched some videos) and have the tools, its quite easy. Ganun din sa Focus namin, hindi agad accessible ang battery, air filter and cabin filter, but after you’ve done it once it’ll be very easy next time.

Mabuti pala nahabol ko ang free PMS promo, at least i don't have to worry until the next 3 years.

there are some parts talaga dapat sa sasakyan ang "user serviceable" kasi hindi naman palagi ka malapit sa service center.. like yan battery at fuse box, dapat easy access yan kasi anytime na mag fail, pwede mo palitan.. ganun din dapat yung mga bulbs.. pwede naman palitan ng user yan eh..

yung cabin filter talaga nung ecosport eh.. tagong tago.. tsaka medyo malulukot pa pag pasok mo ulit kasi may naka harang talaga.. same with the air filter box na naka screw pa.. sa iba clips lang eh madami na yung 4 na clip

Ganun din talaga sa Focus namin. Nung first time ko magpalit ng cabin filter, habang binabalik ko na, napaisip tuloy ako na parang ang sarap sakalin ng engineer na nagdesign na ganoon. After that, nasanay na rin and it was a lot easier. Gulat din ako sa air filter. Napabili tuloy ako ng 8mm socket na screwdriver. Sa umpisa lang mahirap pag di pa masyado alam papano gawin.

If you are referring to the big box above the battery of pre-facelift EcoSport, that's the ECU (I think this was relocated beside the battery on newer models).

I believe the EBS (Electrical/Electronic Battery Sensor) is the small boxy thing attached to the negative cable/ terminal of the battery. I googled an example of an EBS.

It’s a bit of a challenge to change the cabin filter on the Fiesta. It has two stacks of filter that you put on top of each other. You put one first then press it to fit the second one on top.

Mazda 2 namin ganun din. Same design. Pagpapawisan talaga magpalit ng cabin filter sa mga sasakyan namin. 😂
