Citroen Saxo - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Saxo MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacement set of cylinder head fixing pins

When carrying out maintenance that has required disassembly of the cylinder head, such as replacing the relative gasket, it is always advisable to use a new set of pins for subsequent fixing; start by reworking the threads of the fixing holes, taking care to select a tap with the correct diameter and pitch of the thread and not to let chip residues end up in the cylinders; once you have gone through all the holes, position the new gasket and then the head, prepare the new set of pins by applying copper grease to the bottom of the thread and immediately under the head and proceed with locking according to a crossed type scheme, using both the torque wrench and the graduated one.

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.
