Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W202 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Engine
Operation: Engine cradle support replacement

The subsidence of the support (better known as silent block) is quite recurrent as a defect and manifests itself with a sharp noise especially when running on the bumpy: the yielding of the rubber part no longer allows to dampen the effect of the vibrations and it feels right a "TUM-TUM" coming from the engine compartment. In the case of this car, the replacement is particularly simple as there is enough space in the engine compartment to access the fixing pins of the support and it is therefore sufficient to apply a jack under the engine itself to lift it just enough to extract the old support. ; then insert the new one, lower the motor and tighten the fixing pin.

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.
