Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Replacement of the gear knob in the Citroen C3.

Before starting to replace the gear knob in the Citroen C3, we place the car on a plane or on the deck, so that we can work on it in safe and stable conditions. At this point, we proceed to remove, from its seat, the anchoring base of the gear lever hood which, in this case, consists of the entire platform of the center console. This operation can be done using the fingers and unlocking it along its perimeter. Then, disconnect the electrical connections of the relative controls and extract the knob from its seat. To do this, we turn, a little bit, the same, clockwise and counterclockwise, and we take it out. Now, we just have to remove the headset base from the console cover and that's it! To assemble the new knob, repeat, backwards, the same operations illustrated in the images.

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.
