Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How to change the gearbox oil on the Alfa Romeo 159?

In order to change the gearbox oil of the Alfa Romeo 159, you have to open the oil tank drain plug, which is located in the lower part of the car in correspondence with the gearbox. Once the cap has been opened, it will be necessary to collect the used oil inside a container, until it is completely finished. Once the oil has completely flowed out, the drain plug can be closed and topped up from the special plug, located on the right side of the engine compartment. After filling, the car can be lowered and the hood closed.

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.
