Removing Headliner Panel on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Checks and maintenance

Removing the headliner panel on a BMW 3 Series? In this video, we'll show you how to remove the piece. Remove the covers from the side pillars in the car, take off the side handles of the headliner with a screwdriver, then remove the sun visors and the overhead lighting assembly from the panel. Disconnect the mounting clips around the perimeter of the panel. Once the panel is free, you can pull it out of the car. Be careful when removing it, as it may break. Install the new cover panel: attach the clips, reinstall the plastics, sun visors, and lights. Insert the panel from the trunk or door side.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
