Volvo S40 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Volvo S40?

In order to replace the timing belt of the Volvo S40, you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components located inside the engine compartment. On the left side, you will be able to locate the timing belt under the appropriate panel. Once this panel is removed, you can locate the underlying belt and loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley. This will reduce the tension of the belt and allow you to remove it from the pulleys. The new belt can now be inserted and you can verify that everything is functioning correctly.

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.
