Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Air conditioning gas refill instructions

If by activating the air conditioning the temperature of the air leaving the ventilation vents is not cold enough, it is possible that there is not enough refrigerant gas in the system; the correct procedure is to use a special tool to recover the residual gas, create a vacuum, check the tightness of the system to make sure there are no leaks and refill the gas by entering the right quantity and also replacing the compressor oil; however, it is also possible to opt for a simple topping up of gas to be carried out with a canister equipped with a special connection to the low pressure pipe; remove the cover on the engine, remove the protective cap from the quick coupling, connect the cylinder hose, start the engine and turn on the air conditioning; then put in the gas.

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.
