Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Soft top
Operation: How do you replace the cables of the convertible top of the Citroà «n C3?

To be able to replace the cables of the Citroà «n C3 soft top, you have to raise the soft top so that you can see the head of the rope and release the head of the rope from the first interslide by hand or with pliers. After disconnecting the car battery, you will also need to remove the two motors that make the top move: after having disengaged the ropes from the pinion, you need to leverage with a screwdriver to be able to extract them completely. At this point it will be possible to insert the new cables in the appropriate housing, first on one side and then on the other: once the cables have reached the end of their travels, they must be cleaned with a cloth in order to remove grease and residues from the guides.

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.
