How to change the car battery of a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Battery

Let's see how to change the battery of a Fiat 500, which has a complex control unit, so disconnecting the battery will reset all parameters; it is advisable to use a memory saver before disconnecting the battery, like the one we can find on Amazon with code B0DB8G6B1Z for the price of 30.99 euros, with free delivery for Prime customers. We remove the battery by first disconnecting the negative terminal and then the positive one, we disassemble the strap clamp and now the battery is free, we clean the terminals to remove any traces of oxidation from the cable terminals, we apply a thin layer of grease or petroleum jelly on the terminals of the new battery and proceed with the installation, connecting the positive terminal first and then the negative one. We reassemble the strap clamp, check the connections, and close the hood. We disconnect the charger maintainer and we are done.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately.
