Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacement of cylinder head fixing pins

After disassembling the head, it is advisable to use a new set of pins to fix it again on the base; but before that, it is necessary to re-pass the threads of the fixing holes with a tap in order to eliminate any residual burrs or threadlockers: during this operation, avoid making any residual chips end up in the cylinders. Before inserting the new pins, apply copper grease to the bottom of the threads and immediately under the head and tighten them following a crisscross pattern using the torque wrench and the graduated wrench in order to ensure perfect and uniform adherence of the gasket to the surfaces.

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.
