Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Shifter boot

Removing the gaiter from the Fiat 500? Remove the knob to change the damaged gaiter. Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic cover on the knob, then unscrew the gear knob with a socket or spanner.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
