Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto 199, Punto EVO, Grandepunto , MK 3 - Years 2005-2018
Part: Valve
Operation: Disassembly of the Fiat Punto thermostatic valve

In today's video tutorial we will see how to disassemble the thermostatic valve of a Fiat Punto. First we lift the car and open the vent with a 13 mm wrench we go to drain all the coolant from the circuit and from the tank: then we unscrew the hexagonal screws of the valve and remove the clamp of the radiator hose that reaches our valve thermostatic. Once removed we go to get the new valve or we go to repair the previous one by replacing the gasket and the spring. For reassembly we reconnect all the pipes and the sensor and finally reposition and screw the bolts.

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.
