How to Replace the Valve Cover of the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

To remove the valve cover of the BMW 3 Series, open the hood to access the engine compartment and remove the upper cover. Once this is removed, you will be able to access the underlying components, such as the connectors that need to be disconnected, as they are obstructive parts. Consequently, you will need to unscrew all the bolts around the valve cover. When all the bolts are removed, you can lift the cover and take it off, replacing it with a new replacement part. After the replacement, install all the removed parts.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
