Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: V-belt
Operation: Replacement of accessory belt

The accessory belt has the role of connecting the engine pulley to the pulleys of the various accessories: air conditioning compressor, water pump, alternator. It is a belt constructed of flexible materials such as rubber or fiber and is powered by the force of the engine. Through the pulleys it drags the various equipment. When it is broken it must be replaced because it causes the suspension of operation. To change it, it is necessary to lift the car and remove a wheel, identify the type of tensioner roller and remove the accessory belt, then checking the condition of the pulleys and rollers by turning them by hand.

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.
