How to Adapt the Boot of a Fiat 500X for a Space Saver Wheel

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let’s see how to adapt a Fiat 500X boot for a space saver wheel, which it was not originally designed for. You need to excavate the boot to fit the space saver, but even after removing all the polystyrene, the wheel is still taller than the edge of the boot, causing the boot mat to be poorly positioned over the wheel, creating a dome shape that makes the shelf unusable. The YouTuber solved this problem by preparing two rectangles of polystyrene about 5 cm high, cut to fit the boot space, to create the correct thickness. This way, the boot mat sits flat and is usable again.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
