Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SX, SY - Years 2016-2023
Part: Particulate filter
Operation: How to top up the FAP additive on Citroen C3

In this video tutorial you can see how it is possible to top up the FAP liquid on a Citroen C3 following a procedure that will allow you to work independently, if you are already an expert. In fact, since this type of intervention is not within everyone's reach, it is advisable to contact an authorized workshop to carry out the procedure, especially if not able to perform it independently. First you have to lift the car, extract the tank and connect the tube of the Cerina bottles using a special kit to restore the optimal level (See illustrative video). At this point, once filled to the right point, it will be necessary to update the system using the diagnostic tool in order to reset the warning light.

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.
