Mercedes Classe E - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe E W212 - Years 2009-2016
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing chain of the Mercedes C-Class?

In order to replace the timing chain of the Mercedes C-Class, it is convenient to completely remove the engine from its housing compartment: once the engine has been extracted, it will be possible to detach the front plastic cover of the engine block, so that the screws fixing the tensioner can be loosened; the tension of the chain will then be reduced and it will be possible to remove it from the corresponding sprockets. In this way, the new chain can be inserted, covering everything with panels and verifying that everything functions correctly.

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.
