Replacement of the Serpentine and Auxiliary Belts

Model: Subaru Outback BP, MK 3, BL - Years 2003-2009
Part: Engine

Open and lift the bonnet. Now, remove the air duct that directs air to the filter. Also, remove the belt covers, both the plastic and metal parts. To remove the first belt, undo the bolt next to the alternator to relieve tension from the belt and remove it. For the second belt, undo the bolt next to the guide; this will also relieve tension on the second belt, allowing you to remove it. To remove the pulley, undo the bolt at its centre. Replace the necessary parts and follow the steps in reverse for reassembly.

How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs on a Mercedes C-Class

Let's see how to replace the headlight bulbs on a Mercedes C-Class. Open the hood by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers. Install the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight. Reassemble all the parts removed earlier.
