Peugeot 106 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Brake system bleeding instructions

If it happens that the brake pedal discharges under the pressure of the foot and the braking is not very effective, it is likely that an air bubble has formed in the system: it is possible to bleed through the special valves located on the calipers of the brakes. First of all, make sure that there is enough oil in the tank, intercept the bleed valve on the brake calliper, remove any cap and insert a tube connected to a bottle to collect the oil; while holding the brake pedal, loosen the valve to let the air out; repeat the same operation on all four calipers and top up the oil level in the tray.

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.
