Fiat Uno - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Uno MK 1 - Years 1983-1995
Part: Oil pan
Operation: Quick assembly of oil pan

Fitting the oil pan could appear to be a complex and delicate operation but in reality it is a simple practice to carry out even without resorting to a mechanic, obviously after having emptied the used oil from the engine. Apply on the perimeter of the cup, before installing it, a thread of black sealing paste to prevent any sweating, despite the gasket provided, it will be of the right thickness. Raise the car and position yourself under the engine block. Take the cup and align it to the engine so that you can screw all the screws in correspondence with the relative holes. Lower the car and fill the engine block with new oil.

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.
