Citroen C4 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to check and top up the fluids in the Citroen C4.

With the help of this video tutorial, we will explain how to check the fluids of the Citroen C4. This operation is not only very simple but also essential for the proper functioning of the vehicle. Let's start by opening the engine hood of the C4 and proceed by first checking the oil level. To perform this operation, it is necessary for the car to be turned off for a few minutes. We then extract the oil dipstick from its holder and dry it with some paper, then insert and remove it again. The level is considered optimal when it is between the minimum and maximum marks. If you notice that the level is too low, then add some oil by unscrewing the cap located next to the dipstick cap. Near the engine, there is the coolant reservoir, and the same rule applies to it: the level must be between the minimum and maximum marks. Near the engine, but on the right side, is the brake fluid, which should be checked often as a low level can damage the brake pads. The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located just below the coolant reservoir. It should also be checked because it allows us to clean the windshield for optimal road visibility.

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.
