Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W202 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Engine mount
Operation: Engine mount replacement instructions

The engine support (or silent blok) is an element that has a rubber structure and has the function of damping the vibrations that the engine would transmit to the frame if there was a rigid connection. Precisely because it is made of rubber, it tends to deteriorate over time, especially if it is a vehicle that in winter runs on snow-covered roads where it is sprinkled with salt to make it melt. A very useful advice to preserve the life of rubber mounts is to constantly lubricate them. In the case of the vehicle in question, the support is located in the lower part and is fixed with a central pin: it is advisable, if possible, to lift the car on a lift rather than on stands: once the central pin has been unscrewed, by slightly lifting the engine with a hydraulic piston support, it will be possible to proceed with the replacement.

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.
