Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Alternator
Operation: How to replace the alternator of the Fiat 500?

In order to replace the alternator of the Fiat 500 you have to go and lift the car with a jack so that the front right wheel does not touch the ground. The latter will have to be removed by loosening the bolts that secure it to the hub, so that the inner wheel arch cover can be detached. Behind this cover you will find the alternator connected to the V-belt: by loosening the tensioner roller, it will be possible to reduce its tension and extract the alternator from its housing, replacing it with a new one. After the alternator has been replaced, all other removed components can be fitted.

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.
