How to remove the EGR valve of an Opel Astra? Lift the bonnet and put it in safety, then, with a screwdriver, unscrew the locking pins of the ventilation pipe, remove the soundproofing panel of the engine (if present). We begin to disassemble the locking pins of the EGR valve (if we have problems: we lift the car with a jack and we remove the piece from below). Once the piece has been disassembled from its seat, let's unscrew the screws on it with a screwdriver. We clean the valve with the help of a product suitable for cleaning mechanical parts, we use a brush to facilitate operations (replace it if damaged). We reassemble everything after cleaning.

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.
