BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 F10, F11 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Brake oil
Operation: How to replace and top up brake fluid on BMW 5 Series F10

In today's video tutorial we will see how to bleed the brake circuit from the fluid and how to top up the BMW 5 Series F10, in simple and quick steps. First let's go to remove the front wheel of our car; we open the bonnet and remove the plastic upper part that we find under the wipers, in order to access the brake fluid reservoir. At this point we open the bleed screw that we find on the brake caliper and connect a tube; we press the brake pedal several times to remove all the fluid contained in the circuit. So we just have to top up with the new fluid, of the right type!

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.
