BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Thermostat
Operation: BMW 3 Series E36 thermostatic valve replacement

In this video we will see how to change the delicate thermostatic valve of the BMW 3 Series E36. Let's go to disassemble the air filter and the mass air flow sensor first. We should also go to disassemble the radiator (also fixed with screws) in order to access the thermostat. The thermostat is held by some screws that we are going to unscrew and by the radiator pipes that connect it, to remove the relative clamps: mount the new thermostat and reassemble all the components from the radiator and reconnect all the pipes with the clamps. We verify that the engine is now warming up properly and running.

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.
