Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C - Years 1983-1993
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacement of the accelerator cable spring clip

In older generation engines, the accelerator mechanism is controlled by a cable that connects the pedal to the pump, to which a lever system is applied which allows the control to be modulated; at the end of the accelerator cable there is a spring that allows it to be kept under tension at the base of which there is a plastic clip that serves to anchor the cable itself to its support: precisely because it is made of plastic, over time it tends to deteriorate; replacing it is very simple, in fact, it is enough to manually activate the lever mechanism to release the cable and extract it from its seat by passing it through the appropriate slot; then remove the old clip and insert the new one taking care to seat it correctly in its seat.

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.
