Mercedes Classe M - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Air conditioning condenser removal instructions

The air conditioning condenser is located in front of the radiator of the engine cooling system and immediately behind the electric cooling fans: to be able to disassemble it, it is therefore necessary to first disassemble the headlights by removing the molding below and unscrewing the relative fixing pins; once the headlights have been removed, disassemble the bonnet bumper to exceed the group of fans and remove them complete with their support frame so as to be able to access the condenser; at this point disconnect the refrigerant gas pipes (recover the gas with the appropriate appliance rather than disperse it in the environment) and extract the plastic pin that connects the condenser to the radiator to complete the disassembly.

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.
