BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 F10, F11 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Where is it located and how to remove the passenger compartment air fan of the BMW 5 Series F11

The guide shows how to locate the position of the passenger compartment air blower on the BMW 5 Series F11. The passenger compartment air vent is located inside the engine compartment, in the upper left corner, under the windshield. Access to this element is done by disassembling the plastic guard using the two plastic clips. Remove the Torx screws securing the battery connection box and move it to the side. Remove the gas piston and the aluminum bar; remove the Torx screws securing the filter housing cover. Remove the sensor connector and clean it. Check the condition of the front filter. Remove this assembly to get to the fan location. Install a new unit or repair the old one and reassemble everything. Check operation at maximum power for a few minutes.

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.
