Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing chain on the Mercedes C-Class?

In order to replace the timing chain of the Mercedes C-Class, you need to open the bonnet and remove the upper cover of the engine block, together with all the bulky components located to its left. This will make it easier to access the sprockets and the associated chain, which can be removed after the chain tensioner has been slackened. Once the old chain has been removed, it will be possible to install a new one, bringing it back in tension by installing the chain tensioner; after the installation it will be possible to mount all the other removed components.

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.
