Toyota Rav 4 - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa40, MK 4 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing chain of the Toyota RAV 4?

On board the Toyota RAV 4, the replacement of the timing chain is done by lifting the car with a jack or a lift, so that it is possible to completely remove the front right wheel and the corresponding wheel arch. Once these components have been removed, access to the belt located on the left side of the engine block can be obtained: here it will be necessary to loosen the nuts that secure the chain tensioner, which must then be removed. In this way, the tension of the belt will be reduced and it will be possible to remove it, replacing it with a new piece to be properly installed.

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.
