Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Lambda sensor
Operation: How many lambda probes does the Fiat 500 have and where are they located?

In the Fiat 500, as well as in most recently built vehicles, there are two lambda probes in the exhaust system. As we can see in this video, the first probe is located inside the engine compartment, on the right side of the exhaust manifold when looking at the vehicle from the front. The second probe is located underneath the vehicle, at the junction between the manifold and the single pipe. Replacing these sensors is very simple, as it only requires the use of a wrench and, if necessary, a penetrating spray. Make sure to always work with the engine completely cold.

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.
