Peugeot 206 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Valve
Operation: Valve clearance adjustment instructions

When the intake and exhaust valve opening system takes excessive play, a clicking noise is heard coming from under the tappet cover because, due to the excessive play, the cam hits the valve plate: Ã It is therefore possible to record everything by adopting a special thickness gauge. Therefore, once the tappet cover and the timing belt cover have been removed, rotate the crankshaft pulley in order to align the timing references and position the exhaust valve of the first cylinder in the maximum open position: in this configuration, evaluate and, if necessary, adjust the clearance of the intake valve of the third cylinder and that of the exhaust of the fourth (in French engines the numbering of the cylinders starts from the side opposite to the distribution and therefore the cylinders are counted from right to left looking at the engine from the front; the intake ones are the rear ones and the exhaust ones the front ones) Adjustment is done by loosening the lock nut and screwing or unscrewing the adjusting screw as needed; once you are sure of the necessary play, retighten the lock nut. Rotate the crankshaft again to fully open the third cylinder exhaust valve and adjust the fourth cylinder intake and the second exhaust. Then proceed with positioning the exhaust of the fourth cylinder at maximum opening and adjust the intake of the second cylinder and the exhaust of the first. Finally, position the exhaust of the second cylinder at maximum opening and adjust the intake of the first cylinder and the exhaust of the third. The sequence is therefore that of the explosion: 1342. Finally, reassemble the tappet cover.

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.
