Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

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

The replacement of the timing belt on the Alfa Romeo 159 is a rather complex operation that is recommended to be carried out only if you are an expert in the field or have already dealt with this type of work. To begin the replacement, we must remove the pulley lock so that we can begin to loosen the belt. Continue the operation by levering the tensioner to loosen the tension and completely remove the belt. After removing the bolts, the tensioner, and the belt itself, we can move on to assembly. Start by reassembling the pulleys and then proceed as shown in the video.

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.
