How to Replace the Gear Knob and Gaiter on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Shift knob

Today's guide will show you how to remove and replace the gear knob and gaiter on a Fiat 500. First, get inside the cabin and start by removing the gear knob by unscrewing the central screw found on it; once removed, you can detach and remove the gaiter at the base, as shown in the video. Now, replace the gaiter first and then the gear knob, ensuring everything is secured properly; once the knob is hand-tightened, secure it with the central screw, making sure there is no play between the lever and the knob!

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
