Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to change the paper coil of the tachograph of our Iveco Daily - but of course this operation is valid for any van or truck - What we see is a VDO tachograph, but also with other types, the procedure is very similar. When the paper is about to run out, on the back we see red lines, which make us notice that the coil is ending.

We press the button on the right and extract the drawer containing the paper tape. We simply pull out the coil that is ending and replace it with a new one, positioning the paper on the sensor, so that it comes out a millimeter out of the drawer.

The new coil has two black stripes at the beginning: these must be inserted inside the printer and not outside. This is very important, because the printer reads these two black stripes that are the beginning of the coil.

How to Extract the Spare Wheel from a Mercedes Vito

The spare wheel of a Mercedes Vito is located underneath the vehicle, just below the rear boot. This video demonstrates how to extract the wheel from its compartment. First, open the boot and locate the tools provided with the vehicle to release the wheel; these can be found in a compartment on the right side of the boot. As shown in the video, use the supplied screwdriver to remove the cover cap from the hole where you will insert the socket spanner; this hole is located beneath the rubber seal above the rear bumper. Insert the spanner and attach the extension to allow you to turn it and lower the wheel from under the floor. Finally, detach the pin that allowed the wheel to lower and proceed to extract it from under the vehicle.
