Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W202 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Gear oil
Operation: Differential oil change

Raise the car on a lift or on suitable car stands. At the rear it is possible to view the differential from which the two half-shafts connected to the wheels come out and to which the transmission coming from the gearbox is connected: then intercept the drain plug (located laterally, at the bottom right) and the filler one (located top left, just above the muffler pipe, near the drive shaft). Place a tray of suitable capacity (approx. 2 liters) under the drain plug and remove it to allow the exhausted oil to drain out (also unscrew the filler plug to facilitate draining). Once the oil has been emptied, screw the drain plug back on and fill the differential with new oil (according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the use and maintenance manual) with the appropriate straw: as soon as oil comes out of the hole the correct level has been reached; then screw the cap back on.

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.
