How to repair the SOS calling system of BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we will see how to repair the SOS-call system of a BMW 3 Series F31 version car: the module is located in the rear part of the car's ceiling. It is not necessary to remove the entire headliner, just slightly move it aside enough to insert your hand to extract the module, which is quite thin. Once extracted, we need to remove the battery, which we can find for replacement, for example on Amazon with the code B0BYDB7531 at a price of 29.27 euros, with free delivery. Just replace it inside the module, which must be put back in place under the headliner.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
