Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Diesel filter
Operation: How to replace the diesel filter in the Fiat 500?

Replacing the diesel filter in the Fiat 500, as we can see in this tutorial, is an extremely simple and fast operation. First of all, we wait for the engine to be cool enough, then we open the hood and locate the filter in question, located in the rear right area of the compartment. We then disconnect both the connector and the upper tube, loosen the bleed valve using a screwdriver and unscrew the large fixing ring. At this point, we can remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket and follow the reverse procedure.

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.
