Citroen Zx - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Zx MK 1 - Years 1991-1998
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacement exhaust manifold gasket

If the exhaust manifold gasket has to be replaced, the surfaces must first be carefully cleaned in order to remove any residue of encrustation that could compromise the seal of the gasket. Then apply the new gasket (these are two elements made of metal due to the high temperatures involved) and the relative manifold; finally tighten the fixing nuts using a torque wrench (an excessive torque could damage the studs) and apply a new gasket also in the connection joint between the manifold and the muffler exhaust pipe.

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.
