Volvo V40 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo V40 MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the engine oil of a Volvo V40

Before we can begin, we will have to open the front hood of our Volvo V40. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the engine oil top cap. After that, we will have to lift the front of our car, and then unscrew and remove the lower drain nut. By doing so, we will drain all the engine oil. Once this is done, we will have to screw the lower nut again, and then lower the front. At this point, we will have to insert the new oil from the upper hole, using a funnel. When we have completed this step, we will have to screw the relevant cap back on, and we will have successfully completed the replacement.

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.
