Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Air filter
Operation: Replacement of the air filter of the Fiat 500

At the expiration date indicated by the maintenance plan of the Fiat 500, it is necessary to change the air filter in order to have an always efficient engine and reduce fuel consumption. If you drive on particularly dusty roads, it is advisable to anticipate the expiration date. To replace it, we open the engine hood and we will find the cover of the filter box in front of us, at the top. Using a 7mm socket wrench, we unscrew the three screws that secure the cover. The screws are designed to remain inserted in their seats so as not to lose them. We remove the old filtering element and insert the new one, making sure that the rubber edge fits into its housing. We close the cover and tighten the three screws.

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.
