BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Windscreen wipers
Operation: Replacement wiper blades

Before proceeding with the replacement of the wiper blades, make sure that the new ones have the correct length! In the case of traditional wiper blades, lift the wiper control rod, rotate the wiper arm 90Â ° and, after releasing the fixing tab, pull it downwards to extract it from the rod. Therefore, check which of the fastening clips present in the package of the new brushes is compatible with the one just removed and then apply it in the appropriate seat of the new brush arch. Then pass the rod through the hole on the bow until it passes the fastening stop which will then have to be hooked to the rod itself through the tab. If the brush is of the so-called flat type, it is generally hooked to the rod with a sliding system: in fact, it is enough to press the fixing tabs and slide the brush forward to release it. It is also possible to replace the traditional brushes with the flat ones through a special fixing system that makes them interchangeable. Yet another system involves fixing the bow to the rod through a safety catch: just unhook the safety to extract the bow.

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.
