Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SX, SY - Years 2016-2023
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the timing chain on Citroen C3 petrol

Today we are going to see how to replace the timing belt on Citroen C3, but also on petrol models such as C1, C2 etc. We lift the car on a column or jack bridge (if necessary, we remove the front wheel, with a screwdriver the right wheel rocker). Once these operations have been carried out, we raise the engine hood, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the belt cover. With a suitable fixed wrench we loosen the belt tensioner roller and remove the belt from its seat. After having mounted the new belt, with a fixed wrench we go to tighten the belt tensioner roller, we stretch until we have the right tension of the belt (previously mounted). Finally we check the belt tensioner and the belt itself.

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.
