Alfa Romeo 156 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 156 MK 1 - Years 1997-2007
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Replacing the timing belt

The timing belt itself has a moderate cost, but usually when you replace the belt you take the opportunity to replace a whole series of components connected to it and particularly subject to wear, such as the bearings on which the belt rests, the pump water, the service belt, the countershaft belt and relative bearings. In fact, the author of the video explains in this video (in Dutch) that he does not replace the water pump because it has already been replaced recently. However, the need to replace various components and the workforce explain why the mechanic can ask us for considerable figures for an overall economic piece. The car on which the operation is carried out is an Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 TwinSpark 16v

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.
