Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How to change the gearbox oil on the Fiat 500?

To be able to change the gearbox oil of the Fiat 500 you have to go and lift the car by means of a bridge, so that you can access the components of the lower part of the engine compartment. Here you will find the gearbox, with its filler and drain plugs: the latter, which is located in the rear, can be opened by collecting the used oil in a suitably positioned container. Once the old oil has been removed, it will be possible to insert the new one from the filler cap and then close the gearbox with the appropriate cap.

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.
