BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Spark plugs
Operation: Checking and replacing the spark plugs

This video explains how to replace the spark plugs and relative gaskets on a BMW 3-Series. After unscrewing the locking screws, remove the plastic covers that protect the six spark plugs. After disconnecting the electrical connection of the spark plugs, the video is stopped and when it is resumed the spark plugs and the valve cover gasket has been removed. After an effective cleaning of dirt and oil residues, a new external gasket is installed and new gaskets are inserted that protect the mouths of the wells. Subsequently, with a special ratchet pocket and an extension, the old candles are extracted to be replaced with new ones.

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.
