BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Spark plugs
Operation: Spark plug replacement instructions

It is recommended that this maintenance be carried out first with a cold engine to avoid unpleasant burns. First remove the plastic coating under the windscreen and then the passenger compartment filter and its container; proceed with the disassembly of the plastic cover on the engine head: at this point it is possible to view the ignition coils. Then unhook the sockets connected to the coils, unscrew the relative fixing screws and extract the pipette complete with the coil in order to be able to unscrew the spark plug and replace it with the new one (do not exceed the tightening torque). Then reattach the pipette and the socket connected to the coil: proceed in the same way to replace the other spark plugs.

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.
