Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W202 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Replacement of front shock absorbers

This video describes how to proceed with the replacement of the front shock absorbers. First we lift the car on the bridge and identify the bolts that support the shock absorber, one placed in a position easily accessible from the engine hood and the other placed at the end of the shock absorber above the arm. Before doing everything you need to support the arm with a hydraulic lift-stand and then proceed to remove the bolts and the shock absorber. To install the new shock absorber we proceed to screw only the rear bolt and we limit ourselves to resting the upper stem in its housing seat without screwing any bolt; only later when we slightly lower the car from the bridge and then put pressure on the new shock absorber we will go to screw the upper bolt.

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.
