BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Differential
Operation: How to change the differential oil on the BMW F30

The guide shows how to replace the differential oil on the BMW F30. The first thing to do is to lift the vehicle and remove the differential protective lock with an E12 wrench. After opening the 14mm cap that allows the fluid to drain, with a BMW differential fluid extractor, pump out the old lubricant. Using a plastic syringe and a plastic tube as an extension, insert the new lubricant into the differential. Use only the fluid recommended by the manufacturer. The fluid level should just above the fill hole. Drain the oil into a container for disposal and screw the tank cap back on. Tighten it to a torque of 60 Nm and clean any residual oil from the outside of the differential. Refit the differential protective lock and lower the vehicle. At this point the operation is finished.

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.
