How to open the hood of the BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video tutorial we will see the instructions that will allow us to open the engine hood of the BMW 3 Series, in simple steps. First of all, we open the front door of the car and start pulling the lever that we find at the bottom on the driver's side, thus releasing the engine hood lock; then we move to the front and release the latch that we find between the engine hood and the bumper, as shown in the video. At this point, we lift the engine hood held by the hydraulic pistons or fix the rod; we lower the engine hood again until the lock clicks.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
