Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Engine head
Operation: How to replace the cylinder head gasket on a Fiat Punto

Before we begin, we will need to open the front hood. Let's make sure the engine is cold, and if not, wait for it to cool down. So let's start by removing the top engine cover. After that we will have to remove all the plugs of the spark plugs and the relative wiring, and then remove the spark plugs themselves. Once this step is complete, we will have to remove all the air filter block and the injectors with the related injection system. Next, we will have to unscrew and remove the bolts placed along the perimeter of the cylinder head. At this point we can remove the cylinder head, and we will have reached the gasket, which we are going to remove. Once this is done, to mount the new gasket and close the engine, we will simply have to follow these steps in reverse, and we will have successfully completed the replacement.

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.
