Mercedes Sl - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Sl R129, MK 5 - Years 1989-2001
Part: Valve
Operation: Disassembly, cleaning and checking of the electromagnetic valve

In the engine compartment, in correspondence with the passenger side shock absorber dome, there is a double electromagnetic valve that controls the passage of water to the passenger compartment heating system: due to the encrustations generated by the hardness and impurities present in the refrigeration liquid, Ã It is possible that the valve may jam or malfunction; It is therefore possible to disassemble and clean it by checking the integrity of the gaskets. Start by disconnecting the power supply socket, unscrew the fixing screws of the solenoids and remove them, extract the pins with the springs, remove the base plate and then the conical valves; clean each element and proceed backwards for installation.

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.
