Peugeot 2008 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 2008 MK 1 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Timing belt
Operation: When to change the timing belt of the Peugeot 2008

The timing belt is certainly the most important part of the car, after the safety components (you will find below a video tutorial for its replacement for 1.6 hdi engines of the PSA group). Its task is to transmit the motion from the crankshaft to the camshafts and, also controlling the oil and water pump. What is fundamental for the correct functioning of the engine is that the timing of the engine itself is maintained, and this is the main task of the timing belt. This is mainly why if the belt breaks, it will cause irreparable damage to the valves, pistons and connecting rods. For the timing of belt replacement, always refer to the vehicle's use and maintenance manual. For PSA 1.6 Hdi engines, replacement is recommended every 150,000 km or 10 years.

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.
