Operation: How do you replace the timing belt on a Volvo V50?

In order to replace the timing belt of the Volvo V50 it is necessary to loosen the screws that fix the panel located in the lower part of the engine compartment, so that it can be removed. In this way it will be possible to access the crankshaft pulley, also by removing the right front wheel: by loosening this pulley and also all the others located on the left side of the engine block, it will be possible to detach the belt and replace it with a new piece of replacement. After installing the new belt, it will also be possible to fit all the previously removed parts.

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.
