Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Removing the shock absorber on citroen C3

We replace the damaged shock absorber on Citroen c3, let's see how to proceed. We lift the car onto a column bridge and take off the front wheel. Unscrew the locking pins of the shock absorber to the wheel hub with a socket wrench (remove the brake circuit tubes with a screwdriver). We lift the front hood and put it in safety, we unscrew the locking pins of the shock absorber. We remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support support under the bar). Let's compare the old piece with the new one and get ready for assembly. We mount the new shock absorber on the car by screwing all the pins unscrewed previously.

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.
