Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How to change the gearbox oil and filter of the Mercedes C-Class

The automatic gearbox present in the Mercedes C-Class W204 is undoubtedly of the highest constructive and functional quality, but like all car gearboxes, it needs periodic and well-performed maintenance. For this reason, in this guide, we will explain how to correctly change the transmission oil and its filter. Before starting, we remind you that this is an operation that must be carried out with the engine off and cold so as not to have any type of health risk. First, lift the front hood and locate the reservoir cap containing the transmission oil. Unscrew it and immediately lift the car. Remove the protective cover on the lower part of the engine compartment. Place a basin in correspondence with the gearbox reservoir and let all the fluid inside it flow out. Reattach the cap and proceed with the removal of the old filter. Replace it with a new one and finally lower the car. At this point all that remains is to pour the new oil into the tank and that's it.

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.
