Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the auxiliary belt of the Alfa Romeo 159.

As seen in the video, replacing the service belt of an Alfa 159 car requires a certain level of expertise and having all the necessary tools for timing and disassembly. First, remove the belt cover and position the camshaft gear in the specific location. Proceed in the same way with the crankshaft pulley. Bring the crankshaft to the top dead center and, to do so, use the blocking tool that should be applied as shown in the video. Once the timing is completed, the service belt can be removed. All worn elements must also be replaced.

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.
