Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Operation: Replacement of the tappet cover gasket on the Fiat 500L 1.4 T-Jet

In this video tutorial we will see the main instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the valve cover gasket of the Fiat 500L 1.4 T-Jet. First we open the bonnet and start removing the plastic cover and the V-belt; to do this we raise the car and remove the right front wheel, subsequently also removing the timing belt, as illustrated in the video. Now we unscrew and remove the spark plugs, thus unscrewing the screws of the cylinder head cover to remove it; we remove the old gasket and install the new original one!

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.
