Toyota Avensis - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Avensis MK 1, T220 - Years 1997-2003
Part: V-belt
Operation: Auxiliary belt replacement instructions

The auxiliary belt, which also drives the alternator, is tensioned precisely through the adjustment system present under the alternator itself: in order to replace the belt it is therefore necessary to loosen the upper fixing pin of the alternator and then loosen the lower pin that acts as a tensioner making the alternator go up and down to loosen and pull the belt; once loosening the tensioner, it is possible to remove the old belt and apply the new one (check compatibility by comparing the number of grooves and length) by tensioning it through the appropriate register; once pulled tighten the upper pin of the alternator.

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.
