What engine is this? 2.0L tdci?

Searching RUclips for good ideas, on how to remove stuck plastic oil filter housing. This is a great one. Thanks

After trying so many other things, this finally helped me sort my S-Max, thanks so much for the great idea!!

Rope broke halfway through 😒

Where are you located, need both of my seats sorted out. Could do with some help

Can’t even see anything mate

It’s ok showing us the upgrade but where can I purchase the wiring harness kit from as yesterday I came across 2 single headlight units from a 2015 tiger sports to fit on my 2009 tiger non sports so now I’m on the hunt for this wiring loom that so many tiger non sports riders seem to be doing on their bikes. Anyone got any pictures or contacts so I can order 1

Had a new cable that took ages to route through and snapped one of the dog legs on the cable.New cable ordered and second attempt to fix.

Changed bulb but still not working?, could this be a separate fuse to the brake lights ?

even though its not necessary to take the full seat of the car to replace the cable, I would recommend doing it. You have very limited space to handle the cable inside the car, and it took me forever to put it in place but I ended up breaking it so I have to buy it again.

Hi mate, I've got a ford Ka. The problem Ive got is the seat is stuck in the forward tilt position so I cant drive the car. Is there anyway of releasing the mechanism before I fit a new one. It's a Xmas present for my daughter so I've got 2 days to fix the problem 🙈

Hero!

Thank you for the video, I was able to follow the initial disassembly and discovered that the cable had just pulled out of the lower catch which I was able to reattach and then reassemble, all within 20 minutes.

Hi. How do you call this tool? Couldn't understand

What part do you connect the ends of the 2 strings to from each side? Are they both attached around the nipple of the new cable?

Does anyone know how to replace the handle which moves the seat forwards and backwards. Mines has snapped off :(

Pretty handy info my friend , many thanks :)

Thanks for the video! Was really useful!

Handy video. Didn't need to remove the seat, but the 2x 10mm head bolts that hold the seat base in place underneath at the front make access to the seat pivots a lot easier. Didn't bother with the string trick, split the seat upper join at the bottom and you can easily get your hand up the back and find the cable ends. Otherwise pretty easy. 20-30 min- job done.

Thanks for that,it was a great help.

Are there two types of break cluster on the mk6

Cheers mate, worked for me. I left the seat in the car though. Tried on a few at the breakers yard where I got my replacement cable and it was simple on my car.

Appreciate the video as this gave me some ideas, but the comments really nailed it. My release catch was undamaged, but one side of the seat was not being released. I replaced my drivers seat cable today. In case it is useful for people to know, I bought an entire replacement part for about £44 here: Ford 1441166 RH Front Seat Tilt Cable Set www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002UXGO5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0rT1DbB96DATG ... I did not remove the seat or the base. I unclipped the fabric along the bottom of the seat as others have mentioned in comments, and rolled the fabric up so I could access inside the seat. As I had a full replacement part, I just cut the old cable (and rubber sheath) in half, then (after removing the release catch) I lifted out the clip and cable from where the release catch was and because I had cut the cable, there was now plenty of slack to unhook both sides from the mechanism at the base of the seat. Then i just replaced the part like for like. With access to the inside of the seat, this was pretty easy. Just had to be a little patient with re-seating the clip under the release catch and also latching the cables back into place at the base of the seat. Posting more just so people know what worked for me. Once I had the back of the seat off, it took me about 20-30 mins, just because it is a little fiddly. PS: For those who need assistance with removing the latch, I used this video: ruclips.net/video/hzkG8Sjq0mQ/видео.html ... though I was actually able to remove the latch by just digging my fingers underneath both top and bottom. Maybe I got lucky. I have a 2003 zetec model with fabric seats.

Thx 👍

to make it even easier undo the material on the seat, it just clips at the bottom and put your hand up

Just got a quote from my local Ford garage to replace the cable(s) on 1 seat with a new clip. £230. What an absolute joke!

Is this available in the Uk

I just did this upgrade on my Tiger 1050 2009 which now has the 2017 lights. Well worth the money and time as the new lights are amazing. I believe you also have made some cambus additions, like the Rowe Electronics PDM60, to stop the lights coming on with the ignition as they can draw up to 30amps (I also use the PDM60 and am very happy with it!). Great setup!

I was lost lol until that video

These fiesta handles are prone to breaking really easy. Even when fitting new ones they always seemed as though they were going to break straight away. So what I did on both mechanisms where the seat hooks onto the base i used my dremmel to grind off the powder coating on the hooks and on the seat base where the hooks grab onto. This made the seat work a lot better and seemed to take a lot of stress off the seat handle. Also smeared a bit of grease on as well but not too much. Hope this helps to everybody.

Perfect! Thank you

Lot of thanks

This video helped me a lot. I didn't even remove the seat and the replacement took 20min. Thanks!

Does anyone know if this is a similar fitting to a Ford Focus ?, thx in advance, very helpful tutorial SEGSY 59

My driver's seat no longer tilts, which is a pain in the neck when its a 3 door hatchback. As I cannot afford to repair someone to do this, and no idea what I should be doing correctly i will have to remain broken.

Hi mate thanks for the video. I know it's an old video but would you know where I could find the little spring that is on the metal latch's at the bottom of the seat where the two cables go into? Ford want me to buy a whole seat lol I guess a scrapyard would be my best bet?

Thanks for the video I've had my cables forever and dreaded fitting them so hopefully tomorrow with help of the video should be alot of help thanks

What a crap design. I am never buying a Ford again.

It worked.No need to remove seat :D

Thanks this help me a lot at first a thought is was screws easy when you know how

Shit video.

I got mine off E-bay searching fiesta mk6 seat cable.

Hi nice video ,thanks for sharing. quick question,if I was to buy the whole replacement cable what's the technical word I should search for? cheers

Thanks for the instructions. I also took the seat out and worked in my front room. 1) it's warmer 2) so much easier moving the seat around. I'd imagine it's a nightmare trying this in situ! I couldn't quite figure out tying the two ends to pull it through so did what others have advised in the comments and unclipped the cloth back and rolled it up half way. It took me about 20 mins trying to figure out how they were attached. The front cloth is interlocked with the back cloth at the bottom of the seat. Kind of like two C's facing each other. I took off the plastic guard and got a screwdriver in between the C's and twisted. Once the edge was out the rest just followed. I bought a new handle as suspected I was going to break the old one. Glad I did as it was a sod and ended up breaking it

Thank you Very much for this informative video,you've just saved me an absolute fortune . I needed to replace both the cables & the clasp on my driver side seat.A scrappy wanted £150 for the replacement.i spent a total of £73.49 from a local fords dealer & did the Job myself. Many regards Phil

If the handle is broken and the cables go back into the seat, does the seat have to be removed to fix it?

pull up the material on the back bottom of the seat there's a long black clip holding it then put your hands inside feed the cables through much easier

Your video helped a lot, thanks! Had to do it on both sides! The handles are pretty crappy, i already have to replace them 2 times, as they wear out and don't pull the cable.

Where would i be able to purchase one of these seat cables or whats the name of them?

ok so got the old one out BUT having problems getting the new one in...any tips?
