Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Timing belt
Operation: When and how to replace the timing belt of the Opel Corsa D series

The guide shows how to replace the timing belt on the Opel Corsa D series. The replacement interval is 180000 km or every 5 years. To carry out the operation it is necessary to lift the car in order to reach the belt tensioner and loosen it. The belt can now be removed from the pulleys. Pay attention to how you install the new belt, passing it correctly over the pulleys. Getting the belt into position on the pulleys can take some time, and if necessary, someone can help you hold the belt in place. By acting on the belt tensioner it is possible to re-tension the belt and make it adhere to all the rotating parts. Lower the vehicle from the bridge and start the engine to check for correct operation. The cost of the belt is around 10 euros on the internet.

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.
