Peugeot 207 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 207 MK 1 - Years 2006-2015
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the service strap on a Peugeot 207.

Let's see how to replace the service belt on the Peugeot 207: we can access the belt from the engine hood. We pull the belt tensioner pulley sideways, and when it is free, we can remove it from its housing, being careful of its path. If we deem it necessary, we can take a photo before removing it, to make sure it follows the correct route. Often, when installing a new service belt, the tensioner is also changed: you can find the complete kit on Amazon for 54.38 euros, including delivery, with the code B0068MI2UE. Once you have reinstalled the belt, pull the belt tensioner pulley sideways, so that it is properly tensioned. The job is finished.

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.
