Chevrolet Matiz - Video tutorial

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Chevrolet Matiz timing belt replacement

When replacing the timing belt, which is carried out every 100,000 km, the belt tensioner and relative bearing must also be replaced for the water pump; it is therefore suggested to lift the car on the bridge, remove the right front wheel (passenger side) and the lateral engine support in order to access the belt seat; once the covers have been removed it is absolutely essential to align the timing references (there are notches on the crankcase and dots on the toothed pulleys) before removing the old belt and keeping them in place while installing the new one.

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.
