BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: V-belt
Operation: BMW 3 series E90 / 91 - Replacing the service belt

In this video we will deal with the replacement of the service belt of the BMW 3 series e90 / 91. I strongly recommend that you also replace the power steering belt as we will necessarily have to remove it to access the service belt. Let's start: once the bonnet is open, make room by removing the plastic of the intake conveyors and the engine cover using a torx t20, and a 5 mm Allen key. Once you have created enough space to access the belts start by removing the steering servo pulley which will allow you to easily remove the small belt. Now position yourself on the belt tensioner with the xzn Allen wrench and rotate it anticlockwise to allow the extraction and replacement of the belt. Proceed in reverse for reassembly and that's it!

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.
