BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Cabin air filter
Operation: Cabin air filter replacement

Open the front hood and make sure that it is supported in safety conditions: the passenger compartment air filter is located immediately under the windscreen, in a central position, inside its rectangular container. Then unhook the bayonet fixing clips of the cover (two lateral and one central) by rotating them and lifting it to be able to extract the old filter. Remove any residues present in the passenger compartment air filter container, apply the new filter, respecting the direction of the air flow, reapply the cap and fasten it by re-hooking the bayonets.

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.
