Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacing the tappet cover gasket

Before installing the new valve cover gasket, carefully clean both the seat under the cover and on the head, in order to remove any residue of dirt and encrustation that could compromise adherence and therefore the seal of the gasket, with consequent oil leakage. Then insert the gasket into the groove made along the edges of the lid, making it adhere perfectly; then place the cover on the cylinder head, without applying sealant putty, and tighten the fixing pins by properly calibrating the torque wrench.

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.
