When to Change the Auxiliary Belt on a Fiat 500 L?

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2012-2021
Part: Timing belt

The manufacturer of the Fiat 500 L recommends replacing the auxiliary belt at least once every 6 years or every 75,000 miles. This video will show you how to replace this component without going to a mechanic, saving on labour costs. To remove the old belt, lift the front bonnet and remove the engine cover. Then, remove the front wheel to access the lower cover and all elements covering the tensioner. Once you reach this point, loosen the belt, remove it, and replace it with the new one.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
