Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
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 Classe C, it is necessary to open the hood so that it is possible to access the components located inside the engine compartment. Here, it will be possible to locate the chain at the rear of the engine block, next to the partition that separates the engine compartment from the passenger cabin. By loosening the screws that secure the tensioner, it will be possible to detach it and remove the chain that is placed around the sprockets. The new chain can now be inserted into its seat, bringing it back into tension with the tensioner and verifying that everything is functioning properly.

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.
