BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Radiator antifreeze fluid replacement

Raise the car, secure it. Before proceeding, open the radiator cap. Remove the plastic cap located under the radiator using the special tool then place a basin under the car to collect the used coolant. Let all the liquid drain well. Close the lower cap and fill the radiator with the new liquid up to the indicated level of the expansion pan. Start the engine and let it run until the thermostatic valve opens. When the engine is cold, top up the fluid if necessary. The antifreeze liquid is a chemical product and must not be dispersed in the environment but taken to the appropriate collection and disposal centers.

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.
