BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the service belt on a BMW 3 Series

Before we can begin, we will have to open the front hood of our BMW 3 Series, to then disengage and remove the engine top cover and the service belt cover. So let's start by loosening the belt tensioner that keeps the service belt under tension. By doing so, we will have freed the service belt itself. We then proceed by going to disengage and remove it. When we have completed this step, we will have finished the disassembly. To fit the new service belt, we will have to follow this procedure in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.

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.
