Chevrolet Captiva - Video tutorial

Model: Chevrolet Captiva MK 1 - Years 2006-2018
Part: Alternator
Operation: Guide to disassembling the alternator of the Chevrolet Captiva

Today's guide will show us the main instructions on how to disassemble and replace the alternator of the Chevrolet Captiva. First of all, we open the car's engine hood and start by removing the power steering fluid reservoir; then we remove the engine support to access the alternator, disconnecting the serpentine belt afterwards, as shown in the video. At this point, we unscrew the fastening screws of the alternator, disconnect the electrical wiring to remove it and replace it with the new original one; then we reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
