Peugeot 106 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Engine
Operation: Valve clearance adjustment instructions

If the actuation mechanism of the intake and exhaust valves becomes playful, the typical clicking sound comes from the upper part of the engine: this problem can be remedied by making a manual adjustment. Raise the car sideways, leaving the gear engaged (perhaps the fourth gear): it will allow, through the rotation of the wheel, to align the valve base for adjustment (the valve must be in the closed position, i.e. with the control spring released) ; remove the tappet cover to access the adjustment system. Once the timing system has been positioned correctly, pass the feeler gauge between the cam and the valve stem: if it passes too easily, loosen the lock nut, adjust so that the feeler gauge passes forcefully and tighten the lock nut. Be careful in selecting the thickness gauge.

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.
