Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Petrol filter
Operation: Replacing the fuel filter on a Fiat 500

To change the fuel filter on your Fiat 500 you will need ramps or something to raise the car a little, because you will have to work underneath. After jacking up the car, locate the filter easily, near the tank: place a tray under the filter to recover the liquids and remove its side clamps; remove the two tubes from the filter, paying attention to the mounting direction. Carefully empty the fuel from the filter and unscrew the filter from its holder - you will remove the two pieces together. Disassemble the old filter and reassemble the new one making sure that the flow direction coincides between the support and the filter. Remove the protective caps from the new filter! Reassemble the filter making sure that the direction of flow is correct. Reposition the clamps by connecting the filter to its tubes, without tightening them to death so as not to damage them. Now start the engine and leave it running for a few minutes until the engine reaches a stable rpm. Check the new component for leaks! Dispose of the used filter properly. The job is done.

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.
