When to Replace the Timing Belt on Fiat 500 1.4 Petrol

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Timing belt

The timing belt plays a crucial role, synchronising the opening and closing of the valves with the pistons' up and down movement. It is therefore essential to ensure that the belt is always efficient, as its failure could cause severe engine damage. For this reason, it should be replaced within 75,000 miles or 5 years to avoid deterioration of the rubber. During installation, it is absolutely vital to keep the timing references perfectly aligned while tensioning the belt using the appropriate tensioner.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
