Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to remove superficial scratches from the Fiat 500L bodywork

As shown in the video, removing scratches from the Fiat 500 Large car body is a fairly simple operation which, however, must be paid due attention. If the scratch is superficial and has not removed the color, the application of the abrasive paste and the subsequent polishing can eliminate most of the surface scratches of the bodywork, those that even several washes can produce on the car body. If, on the other hand, the scratch is deeper and has removed the color, there are several products on the market such as those shown in the video to fill the scratch. However, care must be taken that the color is exactly the same.

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.
