BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

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

Raise the bonnet and pulling the appropriate lever in the passenger compartment. Using parrot nose pliers, shake the junction between the spark plug connection and the spark plugs a little, removing the first. Now the hole that gives the spark plugs is free, so you can insert the socket wrench size 16 and unscrew them. Obviously repeat the same operation for the four candles. Insert the new spark plugs by first inserting them into the 16 socket, then screw them in. Refit the ignition connections to the spark plugs by pushing them firmly to the end of their stroke. Close the hood and check for correct ignition.

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.
