Mercedes Classe M - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Check for coolant leaks

If the coolant level warning light comes on on the instrument panel display, check the level in the relevant reservoir. Once the front hood is open, the coolant reservoir is located at the rear of the engine compartment, just below the windshield. If the level is significantly below the minimum but the temperature value has always remained constant, then there will certainly be a leak. In the case in question, the leak is located right in the tank, in correspondence with the connection of the delivery sleeve. Once the tank has been disassembled and dried thoroughly, repair the connection area with bi-component resin and proceed with the installation restoring the coolant level, monitoring its level.

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.
