How to remove the air conditioning compressor on BMW 3 Series. Open the hood and secure it, then detach the plastic rivets and remove the air intake. Using a suitable socket wrench, remove the plates that secure the radiator at the top, then lift the car on a column lift (if necessary). Remove the horizontal coil of the radiator using pliers, then use a wrench to unscrew the large hose from the top of the car. Once free from screws and hoses, you can work on removing the air compressor. Unscrew the bolts at the base in the engine bay to free the air compressor, then remove it along with the attached belt (compare it with the new one and check for proper operation). Prepare to install the part in the engine bay, connect the belts, the clamps, and tighten securely with a socket wrench.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?
The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light. by ScegliAuto More videos
