Mercedes Sprinter - Adjust the Parking - Hand Brake - How Does it work? - Howto

What a superb instructional video. Minimum words so can be followed by anyone. Even going to the trouble of stripping down one side just to show us the workings, brilliant. I hope my Sprinter fixes so easily.

UPDATE : Saw the video 4 days ago and adjusted my Sprinter hand brake today, and the hardest part was jacking it up, the adjustment was easy. Thanks so much for posting.

Simple and also now retro!

Top Video thanks

Excellent!

Hi dose it works with Mercedes E220 2001 also? The parking brake of main dose not works at all. Can tell me how can i get it fixed, please. Thanks

Muchas gracias,
Vivo en Cancún Quintana Roo México,
De verdad muchas gracias por su video

Thanks for the video. I'll be doing this very soon. Handbrake almost doesn't do anything anymore. 308 2000reg sprinter. I just done my brake pads this week. Wish I watched this sooner as I had the wheels off and brakes off already....

Wheel chocks go the other way

клас

Muy bien amigo.

Dobry program

Can you speak up a bit please?

lowering van while your under it not a good idea

super video, simple, no bla bla, just show i anderstand, 2 clics, remove one bolt and find dial , adjust +/-, 4 clics must be parking brake. thank you very much

nais

Great video. Just actually took me less time to adjust my sprinter than it took to watch the video.

Great video...amazing Mercedes engineering..having a separate systems..disc for braking and internal expanding for emergency brakes..thanks for the easy to follow adjustment tutorial

Thank you

One of the best guides. No bullshit talk 80% of time. Very clear. Nice job, this will definitely save lot of my time to do this. Thanks!

GOOD

What excellent post.

Ok, two points, one VERY important and the other's just a tip.
First, I would crack all the wheel nuts BEFORE jacking up the van because if they're properly tight or you've been to a garage and they've wizzed them up with a nut gun, you'll only turn the wheels and not be able to undo the nuts. Much easier when the wheels are on the ground and chocked to get a good purchase. That's the little tip, now for the really important part which you got completely wrong! 5 MINUTES IS NOWHERE NEAR LONG ENOUGH FOR A TEA BREAK! THIS IS AN ENGLISH SITE!! YOU NEED AT LEAST 15 MINUTES! NOT ONLY THAT... WHERE WERE THE BISCUITS???
Very nice clear and helpful video. Cheers.
(PS, those jack stands are fine for that vehicle so long as you're on flat ground! Ideal to keep in the van for emergencies and far safer than no stands and relying on the jack which could sink, roll, fail etc so ignore charlesinGA)

👏👏👏👍

Very very good job , beauty song and nice van .

Could you please tell how come you did not adjust the cable "balancer" underneath? Thanks

Excelent

👍

Nice work

excellente video tres claire ca m 'a beaucoup servi merci thanks

I love the fact that you don't talk very much.  Non-english speakers can understand it well and for us English speakers, we get to listen to the music in the background!

Take it this applies for the older VW LT35 van too as they were developed jointly with Mercedes (initially anyway)...If so I'm looking forward to doing this work on my LT35 soon.

Great video second to none Mick W

proper job, thanks for sharing!

Was that 4 clicks plus the 2 clicks?

Hi mate, I've just done this but with slightly different method for the first time in order to remove old rotors. Upon finishing the job I seem to have a whine of some sort that sounds like the noise you get when you run your finger around a crystal glass. Is this the sound of the new discs and pads breaking in? Or have I not adjusted handbrake quite enough when refitting? I tightened the cog until the disc wouldn't move in my hand and then loosened it just a small amount until the disc moved again.

👍👍👍

Fantastic Video , job Well Done, I can only my attempt is as successful !

Cool video without unnecessary talking. Thanks for the help .

God job

I do not own a Sprinter, but, searching for information about this vehicle was redirected here. EXCELENT way of explaining things... thanks sir!!!!!!!!!

put the choc the wrong way round ha ha !!!
