Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Timing belt of the Fiat 500 when to change it?

The timing belt is a fundamental component for the correct functioning of the engine and for its duration. Modern belts are made of rubber, therefore very quiet, but the problem is that they are not easily accessible at all, and there is no clear indicator of wear. The best way to avoid major engine failures (if the timing belt is broken, the damage that the engine can sustain is often irreparable) is to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. We always recommend a check every 30,000 km after passing 60,000 km, and replacement after 100,000 km or 5/6 years.

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.
