BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Coil
Operation: Installation of ignition coils

In order to replace the ignition coils (integral at the head of the spark plugs themselves) it is first necessary to remove the engine casing (the one with the word BMW written on it): remove the caps and unscrew the fixing screws. Then release the fastening safety of the connector and extract the connector itself; then levering with a screwdriver or using a parrot wrench remove the pipette by pulling it upwards. Then insert the new pipette making sure that it goes down to the end of its stroke and fits into its seat. Finally, re-attach the socket and then the fastening safety device. Refit the engine cover.

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.
