BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Faulty electrical connection of the air conditioning pump

If in the summer, using the air conditioning more frequently, you notice an abnormal functioning of the air conditioning pump and you realize that it turns on or off suddenly, the first thing to check is the electrical contact. Locate the AC pump as shown in the video and its connector that carries power to the pump. The pump on the pulley side has a magnet which, as soon as it receives the electrical impulse, makes the pulley integral with the belt drive and vice versa. To check if the problem is the connector that may be loose turn on the motor and the AC switch. Now by touching and moving the connector slightly, paying close attention to any rotating or moving parts (belts, pulleys, etc.), check if the magnet receives the impulse by dragging or vice versa, freeing the pulley from the belt.

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.
