Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Change of the Citroen C3's oil and engine filter.

Let's see how to replace the oil filter and engine oil in a Citroen C3. We open the engine hood and unscrew the oil refill cap and remove the dipstick. Using a ratchet wrench with a 27mm extension and socket, we unscrew the cover of the oil filter, after placing a container to collect the used oil. We cover the seat with a cloth to prevent dirt from entering, lift the car with the help of a jack or a lift, unscrew the oil drain plug, after placing a collection container underneath, and let the old oil drain. We take the filter cover and remove the old filter element and rubber gasket, clean it with a suitable detergent, and insert the new filter and new O-ring, applying a thin layer of oil on the seats. We put the new filter back into its housing and tighten the cover with a torque wrench to 250 Nm. We screw the drain plug with a new gasket, tightening it with a torque wrench to 30 Nm. We pour about 3.5 liters of engine oil into the refill cap and check the level with the dipstick. We start the engine until the oil pressure light goes off. We check the level again and top up if necessary.

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.
