BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Lambda sensor
Operation: Lambda probe replacement exhaust pipe

The lambda probe should be changed frequently especially if there is a loss of power, excessive consumption and polluting exhaust gases. The lambda probe is a sensor capable of controlling the polluted components of the exhaust gases to keep the mixture ratio (kg air / kg fuel) within the optimal efficiency range of the catalyst. The probe signal output is an electrical signal which is sent to the injector control unit. Due to high temperatures, replace the probe when the engine is very cold. Using a simple spanner, unscrew the probe then disconnect the connector. For safety, once the probe has been replaced, carry out several kilometers and then do the test again with the appropriate equipment to verify the return of the polluting parameters.

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.
