Peugeot 2008 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 2008 MK 1 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the timing belt of the Peugeot 2008.

With the help of this short video tutorial, we will explain how to replace the timing belt of the Peugeot 2008. First, we need to lift our car using a jack and jack stands in order to remove the front wheels. Then, using a 13mm wrench or an offset wrench, we loosen the transmission belt and lift the tension pulley. It is important to replace the tension pulley when replacing the belt, so we use a socket wrench and an 8mm Allen key. To install the new belt, we need to slide it onto the pulley and tighten the pulley using the wrench to put the belt under tension. Once all the assembly steps are completed, we can reattach the front wheels and lower the car.

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.
