Today we will explain how to replace the battery of the BMW X1 model f48. We use a socket wrench to remove the data placed on the battery bracket. We remove the air filter cover and unscrew the four Torx screws using a T20 to remove the grille. We remove the tray by unscrewing the screws with an 8mm wrench. Using a flathead screwdriver, we remove the battery cover and disconnect the negative terminal connector and immediately after the positive terminal connector. We remove and insert the new battery.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
