Citroen Zx - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Zx MK 1 - Years 1991-1998
Part: Valve
Operation: Valve guide rubbers replacement

When carrying out a repair that requires disassembly of the cylinder head, it is good practice to replace the valve guide rubbers which are real oil seals: in order to replace them, the valves must be disassembled by compressing the return springs with the appropriate arc clamp and releasing the half shells to free the valve stem; once the valve has been removed, extract the old rubber, clean the seat and lubricate it with clean oil to insert the new rubber with the special pad; then proceed backwards to install the valve by compressing the spring and re-hooking the half shells.

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.
