Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

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

In order to replace the Alfa Romeo 159 timing belt, you need to open the hood and loosen the bolts that secure the cover on the side of the engine. Once this has been removed, the car will need to be lifted via a bridge and the inner right wheel arch cover removed. In this way, it will be possible to access the tensioner pulley, which will have to be loosened in order to reduce the tension of the belt: at this point, this can be removed and replaced with a new spare part. The new belt must be tensioned by screwing the belt tensioner pin and covering everything with the appropriate panels.

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.
