Peugeot 407 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 407 MK 1 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Power steering oil
Operation: How to repair the power steering pump of the Peugeot 407

This model of car, as regards the power steering, is equipped with an electro-hydraulic pump: that is, an electric motor drives a gear pump that compresses and pressures the oil that makes the power steering box work; one of the most recurrent defects of this model of pump is the failure of the oil seal which causes the passage of oil from the reservoir of the pump itself into the engine with consequent contamination of the electronic board which then stops working; the electric pump must then be disassembled by separating the pump from the motor to then access the board plate, unsolder it, and clean everything from oil contamination; Obviously, to solve the problem, the oil seal should also be replaced.

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.
