The BMW i3 has a large lower air intake under the bumper, which feeds an A/C condenser and the radiator. Being very low, it is exposed to stones kicked up by the wheels, road debris, leaves, and dirt. Damage to the condenser causes refrigerant loss, which is a very expensive repair. A mesh is a simple and economical protection. We can find a simple rigid polypropylene mesh 40x60 with a thickness of 3/4 mm at any hardware store. We will also need cable tie saddles. It is not necessary to lift the car, but to fully turn the front wheels toward the opposite side of where we are working. We measure the opening; the mesh should be slightly larger to overlap the edges. We position the mesh from the inside through the wheel arch, in front of the condenser opening, resting it on the edges of the bodywork. We insert the cable ties into the holes of the vehicle's structure, passing them through the holes in the mesh, avoiding puncturing the condenser and its fins. We secure the mesh at least in 6 points: the mesh must be well taut. We cut the tails of the cable ties and ensure that the mesh does not touch the fins of the condenser.

What does the red or orange zig-zag warning light mean on the Dacia Sandero?
In this video, you will learn what the warning light depicting a red or orange zig-zag on the dashboard of the Dacia Sandero means. This is a multifunction warning light; if it appears red, it is a prompt to stop as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and exit the vehicle quickly, contacting a recovery service and the Dacia Dealer. If it lights up orange, it indicates an electronic fault in the vehicle; you can continue driving, but you must reach a Dacia service centre as soon as possible. If it lights up alongside the spanner symbol, it means it is time for a service, which is due every year or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). The service is mandatory to maintain the warranty. If it lights up together with the tyre warning light, it indicates a loss of pressure in one of the tyres. You should check all the tyres as soon as possible to identify the source of the pressure loss. If it stays on with the engine warning light, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's emissions system; if it flashes, the issue may be a component of the engine, such as the spark plugs or coil, for example. On diesel versions, it may light up alongside the glow plug symbol, indicating a related issue. If it lights up with the ESP symbol, it means there is a fault in the system that needs checking. by ScegliAuto More videos
