Volvo C70 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo C70 MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Engine
Operation: Head repair instructions

If you notice abnormal consumption of coolant with a rise in temperature even to boiling, it is very likely that there may be damage to the cylinder head gasket: in this case, the gasket is no longer able to guarantee tightness and may the refrigeration labyrinths come into contact with the lubrication labyrinths with consequent water infiltration in the lubrication circuit (by pulling the oil level control stick, droplets of water in suspension may be detected). In order to replace the cylinder head gasket, it is necessary to remove the timing system, the manifold and the tappet cover; extract the camshafts and complete the disassembly of the cylinder head. Carefully clean the seat of the gasket and have it rectified to ensure perfect flatness of the surface and then install the new gasket, taking care to follow the correct tightening pattern of the cylinder head fixing pins. Reassemble everything, start the engine, bring it up to temperature making sure that the fan is activated, that the temperature remains constant and that the liquid does not boil.

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.
