Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2012-2021
Part: Timing belt
Operation: When should the Fiat 500 L's service belt be changed?

The car manufacturer that produces the Fiat 500 L recommends replacing the service belt at least once every 6 years or every 120,000 km. Thanks to this video, we can learn how to replace this component without going to the mechanic and thus saving on labor costs. To remove the old belt, we need to lift the front hood and remove the engine cover. Then we remove the front wheel so that we can also remove the lower cover and all the elements that cover the belt tensioner. Once we have reached this point, we can loosen the belt, remove it, and replace it with the new 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.
