Peugeot 106 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Coolant level check

First of all, it is suggested to carry out this check when the engine is cold since you will have to open the cap of the coolant reservoir (when the engine is hot, the cooling system is under pressure and opening the cap could cause boiling liquid). Once the cap has been opened, check if the coolant reaches the appropriate notch on the tank indicating the reference level: then add coolant until it reaches the notch and close the cap. If the liquid is almost level, you can also simply add water (preferably distilled), otherwise get some ready-to-use antifreeze liquid (if concentrated, follow the directions for dilution).

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.
