Alfa Romeo Mito - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo Mito MK 1 - Years 2008-2018
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How and when to replace the timing belt of the Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4

Today's guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the transmission belt of the Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4; the manufacturer states that the transmission belt should be replaced every 100,000 kilometers or 5 years. So let's lift the car and start by disassembling the right front wheel and the wheel arch; then we disconnect and remove the V-belt, subsequently removing the crankshaft pulley, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the distribution cover to access the belt, taking the necessary references for the replacement; we install the original distribution belt, ensuring optimal durability.

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.
