BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Starter motor
Operation: Remove the BMW 3 Series starter motor

What to do if the starter motor is damaged? Let's see the disassembly of the BMW starter motor. We raise the front hood, disconnect the cables of the car battery power supply. We remove the engine soundproofing panel with attached cables. We disassemble the exhaust connector, then, disconnect the terminals of the starter motor power supply with a pliers or screwdriver depending on the pressure of the tabs, unscrew the locking pins of the starter motor with a socket wrench. Once the screws have been removed, all that remains is to remove the starter motor from inside the engine compartment. We replace the piece with a new one.

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.
