Citroen Zx - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Zx MK 1 - Years 1991-1998
Part: Engine
Operation: Camshaft replacement

In this tutorial, a new camshaft is fitted to a Citroen Zx. The camshaft transforms the vertical action of the pistons into the circular movement that makes the wheels turn and at the same time opens and closes the gas mixture valves of the cylinders. After greasing the lobes, the shaft is inserted into its housing. Once inserted, it must be locked. After inserting a mask around the glasses, the shaft is placed against the head. After resting the tappet, proceed with the valve tightening phase. We then proceed to mount the toothed wheel which, after being positioned correctly, is tightened; the belt is then mounted and the timing is manually tested. Lastly, valve timing is performed.

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.
