Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement of front brake pads

Raise the car with the jack and apply a stand for safety; then remove the front wheel, lever between the disc and the caliper so as to make the piston retract and unscrew the lower fixing pin of the caliper: the upper one will act as a hinge to lift the caliper and extract the old pads. Then apply the new pads, fully retract the piston using a parrot wrench or an arc clamp, reposition the caliper and tighten the relative fixing pin. Once the pads have been replaced on the other wheel as well, pay close attention to the first braking.

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.
