Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Fiat 500?

The operation of replacing the timing belt on the Fiat 500 is done by opening the hood to access the engine compartment. Here, it will be necessary to remove the plastic covers located on the left side of the engine, in order to access the underlying pulleys. By also removing some bulky parts such as pipes and connectors, it will be possible to loosen the nut that secures the central pin of the belt tensioner roller, reducing the tension of the belt itself. The reduction in tension will allow the belt to be removed and replaced with a new spare part; finally, all the other removed parts can also be reassembled.

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.
