Volvo S70 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo S70 MK 1 - Years 1996-2000
Part: Engine
Operation: Car engine gasket replacement

The heart of the engine is the car gasket which encloses the movement of the pistons, allowing the oil not to come into contact with the water. Usually these gaskets are made of cast iron and sagging can occur in the welds. The cylinder head gasket is such an important element that when you notice it is damaged it must be replaced immediately. To proceed with the replacement, it is necessary to check that the engine block has not undergone any deformations, and then clean the surface of the cylinder head and the engine block and the seats of the bolts that secure the cylinder head cover to the engine block. The new gasket can then be applied to the engine by tightening the bolts with a ratchet wrench.

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.
