Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Alternator
Operation: How to replace the alternator in a Citroen C3.

In today's video, we will see how to replace the alternator in the first series of Citroen C3. First of all, we remind you to proceed only and exclusively when the engine is cold to avoid unpleasant burns. Having said that, we proceed by opening the front hood in such a way as to be able to locate the work area. We remove the upper components that hinder us from accessing the object in question. Once this is done, we remove the alternator and proceed with its extraction. At this point, we can proceed by revising the piece or inserting the new 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.
