Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Oil change on Citroen C3

On the Citroen C3 the engine oil must be replaced every year the car is used or every 30,000 km traveled: in other words, when the first of these two parameters is reached. This is the simplest and most common routine maintenance: just drain the used oil from the appropriate hole (see video) and collect it in a special container. During this work it is advisable to replace the oil filter as well, which must simply be unscrewed from its seat and then screwed the new one into it. It is recommended for this car model to use 0W-30 or 5W-40 oil, filling it from the hole with the engine oil symbol on the cap.

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.
