Peugeot 307 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 307 MK 1 - Years 2001-2009
Part: Thermostat
Operation: Thermostatic valve replacement

In order to replace the thermostatic valve it is necessary to drain the refrigeration system: for this reason it is recommended to carry out this maintenance with the engine cold; after having positioned a tray under the engine compartment to collect the liquid, disconnect the sleeve connected to the thermostatic valve which is located immediately above the oil filter, near the other sleeves of the refrigeration system; then unscrew the fixing pins of the valve, remove it from its seat and insert the new thermostat by tightening the fixing pins and reconnecting the sleeve; fill the cooling system with the appropriate liquid and start the engine bringing it to operating temperature and checking the opening of the new valve; finally restore the level.

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.
