BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Radiator
Operation: How to change the water tank on BMW 3

Let's see how to change the radiator water tank of a BMW 3. We open the car door and pull up the engine compartment opening lever at the bottom left of the dashboard, lift up the front hood. We disassemble the air filter near the pan. We empty the tank from the liquid present, with a socket wrench or screwdriver unscrew the tightening pins of the same, disconnect the tank circulation pipes (remove the piece from inside the engine compartment). We mount a new tank with attached pipes and pins, top up the new refrigeration liquid in the cooling circuit. We close the front hood at the end of assembly. We turn on the BMW and see how it works.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
