How to Adjust the Idle on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Checks and maintenance

Is your car making gurgling noises and tends to stall? Want to carry out the necessary maintenance yourself? Let's see in this video how to adjust the idle on an old Fiat 500. Start the car with the appropriate key (it's better to do this operation with two people), open the rear engine cover: with one hand, hold the accelerator rod (giving it small revs) and with a screwdriver, adjust the engine's idle speed. Once the engine stabilises, stop adjusting. After the adjustment, close the rear engine cover.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir.
