Operation: When the dashboard of the Peugeot 2008 indicates "repair required

To understand this mysterious message, our friendly YouTuber did the most logical thing: he connected an OBDII reader to the EOBD socket and read the errors that had been stored in his engine control unit. Then, with a laptop, he obtained free software to decode the various messages given by the engine control unit itself. We see that the problem is the exhaust gas recirculation, and then the faulty Lambda sensor. These are rather mysterious things. Consequently, he explains in detail the functioning of internal combustion engines and catalytic converters that reduce NOX emissions. So, we need to replace the oxygen sensor. We will have to lift the vehicle at the front in order to work on it. We identify the connector to remove, which is blue and clearly visible, then remove all the cable until the metal connector. Before installing the new one, we should apply some copper grease to it. Screw it back into place, reconnect the cable by placing it on its bracket. We're done. The YouTuber then recommends checking the fuel thoroughly, especially if we are traveling abroad with our own 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.
