Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: V-belt
Operation: How do you replace the V-belt on a Mercedes C-Class?

In order to replace the V-belt on the Mercedes C-Class, you need to open the bonnet, so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment: here it will be necessary to detach the plastic cover of the upper part of the engine block, removing the suction hose. In this way you will have access to the front part of the engine block, where the V-belt is located: by loosening the central nut of the tensioner roller, you can reduce the belt tension, extracting it completely from its housing and replacing it with a new one.

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.
