Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Dashboard
Operation: How to remove the central dashboard of the Alfa 159

To remove the dashboard / center console of the Alfa 159 you need to get some hooks that you can build yourself using simple welding electrodes. Begin by removing the shift console with a body builder's lever and disconnecting its electrical connectors. Now unscrew the 2 screws located at the bottom of the dashboard. Using the hooks you have obtained, hook them into the flaps of the ventilation nozzle. To hook them correctly, place one hook in the upper flap and the other in the lower flap. Now, pulling the two hooks at the same time, slide out the air vent and remove it from their seat. Unscrew the Phillips screw located inside the vent housing, taking care not to drop the same screw inside the dashboard. For convenience, use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip. Repeat the same operation on the other nozzle, leaving the central one mounted. Consider that the screws that hold the console are 4. Now, being very careful not to damage it, as it is made of aluminum, pull the console from the seat of the vents. To reassemble the console, position it correctly in its place and by pressing on it, hook it back into its compartment. Next, screw in the 4 screws of the center console; insert the shift console and reconnect the electrical harnesses. Finally, insert the air vents in their seat. Once the work is finished, check that the whole console is perfectly aligned and in harmony with the whole dashboard.

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.
