BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Coolant temperature sensor
Operation: How to remove the external temperature sensor on a BMW 3 Series

Let's see how to remove the external temperature sensor on a BMW 3 Series. We lift the car on a column bridge and remove the rim, to remove the temperature valve we have to remove the lower engine guard of the car. We unscrew the pins with a socket wrench, then remove the plastic underbody placed under the bumper. We disconnect the power supply connector of the temperature sensor, remove the same and assemble a new one. We reassemble the engine cover panel under the car with all the pins attached. We test the correct functioning of the valve by starting the car.

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.
