Peugeot 208 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 208 UP, UB, MK 2, UJ, UW - Years 2019-2024
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you check the timing belt of the Peugeot 208?

In this video we see how to check the condition of the oil-immersed belt of the 1.2 Puretech PSA engines. Unfortunately, this system makes it less durable compared to others, because residues end up in the oil and clog the strainer. A first check can be done visually, from the cap. Peugeot provides a thickness check with a special tool, which we can find for example on Amazon with the code B09QT5PNSX at the price of 22.69 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. If the belt degrades it widens, and therefore no longer fits within the dimensions of the gauge. Remember that Stellantis changes the belt within 6 years or 100,000 even out of warranty (provided that all the scheduled maintenance has been done within the Peugeot network). In the first version of the 208 the cap is protected by a net and therefore it is a bit more cumbersome because there is a particular system - which you can see in the video - to insert the gauge into the hole. Very important is the use of the correct oil.

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.
