Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Passenger compartment heating radiator
Operation: How do you replace the heating radiator of the Fiat Punto 188?

The motivation for the malfunction of the heating system in the Fiat Punto's cabin could be the radiator breaking. To proceed with its replacement, this video comes to our aid. It is located under the central tunnel and to reach it, it is necessary to remove the carpet covering on the left side. At this point, the two plastic ties that hold the rubber tubes for the incoming and outgoing liquid must be removed, taking care not to break them when using a screwdriver for leverage. All that's left is to remove the old radiator and install the new one, following 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.
