Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Alternator
Operation: Alternator replacement on Mercedes C

Do we have the alternator out of order? Let's see how to remove the alternator on Mercedes C. We open the engine compartment, we remove the battery terminals for safety. We disassemble the various pipes to get to the alternator belt to remove it. We lift the car on a column bridge, remove the alternator from under the dedicated compartment (tightening screws on the sides). We unscrew and remove the alternator from inside the engine compartment. We assemble a new piece with the same characteristics as the disassembled one. At the end of the maintenance we just have to connect the terminals to the car battery and test the functioning of the new piece.

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.
