Citroen Xsara Picasso - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to remove the service belt of a Citroen Xsara Picasso

Before we can start, we will have to go and lift the front of our Citroen Xsara Picasso. By doing so, we will have reached the service belt. Let's start by loosening the belt tensioner, using a 16 mm wrench. Once we have loosened the belt tensioner, we will also have freed the service belt. At this point, we can remove the belt, simply by extracting it from its pulleys. When we have completed this step, we will have successfully completed the disassembly, and we will be free to fit the new service belt, simply by repeating these steps in reverse.

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.
