Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt on the Citroà «n C3?

In order to replace the Citroà «n C3 timing belt, the hood must be opened to gain access to the engine compartment. Subsequently, it will be necessary to remove the lateral plastic cover of the motor and, if necessary, to move some cluttered parts, for easier access to the pulleys. The latter must be loosened by unscrewing their central pins and, above all, the belt tensioner roller must be loosened. When all these parts have been loosened, the belt can be removed and replaced with a new spare part. After the replacement, it will be possible to assemble all the parts previously removed.

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.
