Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Alternator
Operation: Replacement of the alternator on Fiat 500

Let's see the disassembly of the alternator of a Fiat 500. Lift the bonnet putting it in safety, locate the power supply battery and disconnect the terminals. We lift the vehicle onto a column bridge and identify the pieces to be disassembled. We disassemble the wheel, remove the car's stone guard. Unscrew the pins with a socket wrench, being careful not to damage the cable winding membranes, unscrew all the alternator tightening pins. Once the disassembly is finished, we take out the piece after disconnecting the electrical terminals. We mount the new alternator with the connection of the electrical terminals and the tightening screws. We connect the clamps to the battery.

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.
