Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt on a Volvo V40?

In order to replace the timing belt of the Volvo V40, you need to open the bonnet, so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment: in its left side, you will have to remove bulky components such as the tank of washer fluid and the air filter, so that you can access the side of the engine block. Here there will be a protection panel which must be removed by loosening the fixing screws; some screws will be accessible by removing the right front wheel and the wheel arch. At this point you will have to loosen the central nut of the tensioner roller, extracting the belt itself and replacing it with a new one.

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.
