Part: V-belt
Operation: How and when to change the timing belt of the Citroen C3 1.6 HDI

In this guide, let's see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the timing belt of the Citroen C3 1.6 HDI; remember that the timing belt must be replaced every 180,000 kilometers or 24 months. In order to replace the belt, it is necessary to raise the car and remove the right front wheel; we then remove the V-belt and disassemble the engine support, subsequently removing the timing cover. At this point we take the necessary references to replace the timing belt, installing the original one and reassembling everything!

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.
