Mercedes Classe M - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe M W164 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to intervene on the heat exchanger in the Mercedes ML

Below you will find a general description of the steps involved in replacing the heat exchanger, but please note that this is only an overview and the details may vary depending on the model and year of your Mercedes ML. Disconnect the negative battery cable to avoid short circuits or accidents and ensure safety during the work. Drain the car's cooling system. You can do this by opening the radiator cap and allowing the coolant to drain into a suitable container. Make sure to properly dispose of the used coolant at an authorized recycling center. Remove the necessary parts to access the heat exchanger. This may include removing the front bumper, radiator, fans, coolant pipes, and other components that may obstruct access. Disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes connected to the heat exchanger. Make sure to note the order and orientation of the pipes to facilitate correct reassembly later. Remove the damaged heat exchanger and replace it with a new or refurbished one that is compatible with the model of your Mercedes ML. Reassemble all previously removed components, making sure to properly connect the coolant pipes and securely tighten all connections. Fill the cooling system with the coolant recommended by the manufacturer, following the correct filling specifications and procedures. Carefully check the cooling system for any leaks or issues. Ensure that all connections are tight and that there are no coolant leaks. Start the engine and carefully monitor the cooling system to ensure it is functioning properly. Monitor the engine temperature for any abnormalities.

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.
