How to Remove the Centre Console from an Alfa 159

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Dashboard

To remove the centre console from an Alfa 159, you will need to make some hooks, which you can create using simple welding electrodes. Start by removing the gear lever console with a bodywork lever and disconnect the relevant electrical connectors. Next, unscrew the 2 screws located at the bottom of the console. Using the hooks you made, attach them to the tabs of the air vent. To attach them correctly, place one hook in the upper tab and the other in the lower tab. Now, while pulling both hooks simultaneously, remove the air vent from its housing. Unscrew the cross-head screw located inside the vent housing, taking care not to drop the screw inside the dashboard. For convenience, use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip. Repeat the same operation on the other vent, leaving the central one in place. Note that there are 4 screws holding the console. Now, being very careful not to damage it, as it is made of aluminium, pull the console from the vent housing. To reassemble the console, position it correctly in place and press it to reattach it in its compartment. Then, screw in the 4 screws of the centre console; insert the gear lever console and reconnect the electrical wiring. Finally, insert the air vents back into their housing. Once the job is finished, check that the entire console is perfectly aligned and harmonised with the dashboard.
