Lancia Ypsilon - Video tutorial

Model: Lancia Ypsilon Y3, 846, MK 3, Ypsilon 3 - Years 2011-2023
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: Removal of the hydraulic pistons of the tailgate on Lancia Ypsilon

Lift the tailgate of the car and, first of all, lean under a hydraulic stand to support it. This will prevent it from falling when there are no more supporting pistons. With a small to medium flat screwdriver, pry the inside of the upper attachment of the tailgate, as shown in the video. Once the stop has been removed, just pull the piston and you're done. Repeat the same operation on the lower stop and on the other side of the tailgate. As for the assembly of the new pistons, it is sufficient to fit the attachments to the car seats by applying pressure with the hands.

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.
