Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Diesel filter
Operation: Replace the diesel filter on Alfa Romeo 159 - Brera JTDM

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove and replace the diesel filter on an Alfa Romeo 159, but also on the Brera, with a JTDM Diesel engine. First we open the bonnet of our car and we go to identify the diesel filter, which we find at the top; then we go to disconnect the fuel hoses and the electrical connector of the sensor by pressing on the tab. At this point we unscrew the fixing screw of the bracket with a ratchet wrench, in order to extract the fuel filter; we just have to replace it with the new one, of the right type, and reassemble everything!

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.
