Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto 176, MK 1 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Fiat Punto?

In order to replace the timing belt of the Fiat Punto, it is necessary to lift the car with a jack or a bridge, so that it is possible to loosen the screws that fix the right front wheel. At this point, it will be possible to proceed by loosening the screws that fix the belt tensioner roller to its housing, removing it and reducing the tension of the belt: the new one can now be inserted and tensioned with the tensioner roller. At this point, all the other components can be mounted, ensuring that everything functions correctly.

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.
