Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace timing belt on Alfa Romeo 159

How to remove and replace the timing belt on Alfa Romeo 159? Let's see how to intervene: we lift the car on a column or jack bridge (if necessary, we remove the front wheel, with a screwdriver the right wheel guard). Once these operations have been carried out, we raise the engine hood, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the belt cover. With a suitable fixed wrench we loosen the belt tensioner roller and remove the belt from its seat. With a socket wrench we go to unscrew the tightening pin of the belt tensioner roller, remove the water pump as in the video. We assemble the new water pump (previously removed), the belt tensioner and the belt itself, we tighten everything with the socket wrench. Finally we assemble all the pieces backwards.

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.
