Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the engine oil and oil filter of a Fiat Punto.

Let's briefly go through the steps to perform the routine maintenance check, replacing the engine oil and oil filter, on a Fiat Punto. First, we lift the car and start draining the oil by unscrewing the drain plug found on the oil pan. Then, we use the appropriate tool to unscrew the oil filter, replacing the cartridge with a new one (screwing it in by hand and tightening gently), as shown in the video. At this point, we unscrew the oil cap and top off the oil, checking the oil level with the dipstick!

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.
