BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Thermostat
Operation: Removing and replacing the thermostat

This video shows us how to remove and replace our thermostat. First of all, let's start by identifying where the thermostat housing is positioned, once it has been identified it is possible to begin its removal and replacement. The thermostat is anchored by four three ten-millimeter screws and another thirteen-millimeter screw, once these four screws have been removed, remember to disconnect the connector before proceeding with the extraction of the thermostat. Finally, having extracted the old thermostat, to install a new one, it is necessary to place gasket paste around the housing seat to prevent the coolant from escaping.

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.
