Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the oil on a Citroen C3

In this video, we see how to change the engine oil and filter on a Citroen C3: the engine must be moderately warm, lift the front of the vehicle and place a basin to collect the used oil underneath the drain plug. We will then dispose of this oil correctly at an authorized disposal center. While the drain plug empties, we remove the filter: it will be necessary to remove the air ducts to access the filter using a 27 mm socket. We extract the filter from the cover into a container, because we will also lose oil here. We clean the cover and replace the O-ring, which we have lubricated with clean oil. We position the filter back into the cover and put it back in place, also reassembling the air ducts. We go under the car and close the drain plug, which must always be replaced, along with its gasket; we lower the vehicle and refill the engine oil from above. It will take a total of 3.75 liters, but we will start by pouring only 3 liters, then we will check the dipstick and make the necessary adjustments. We reassemble the plug and run the engine for a few minutes. We check the level again. Operation completed.

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.
