Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Camshaft oil seal replacement

Replacing the camshaft oil seal is very simple to carry out but nevertheless requires disassembly of the timing toothed pulley and therefore of the belt itself: therefore, a certain familiarity is required in carrying out the disassembly while maintaining the timing references correctly; therefore, once the timing system has been disassembled and the old oil seal removed, carefully clean the seat, lubricate both the seat and the new oil seal thoroughly with clean oil and insert it with the lip facing inwards, pressing it to the end of its stroke with the appropriate pad . Then install the toothed pulley and timing belt.

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.
