Chevrolet Matiz - Video tutorial

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Alternator
Operation: Alternator repair instructions

If the battery warning light remains on on the instrument panel, then it means that the alternator has stopped recharging due to a fault in the regulator plate which also includes the brushes: performing this repair is quite simple, above all because it is very easy to find the spare. Then start by disconnecting the battery poles and then remove the alternator from its seat; once placed on the bench, remove the plastic cover to access the plate, unsolder the winding contacts and remove the old plate to be able to install the new one, subsequently welding the contacts and removing the stop from the brushes; then proceed backwards to install the alternator and check that the battery warning light remains off after starting the engine.

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.
