BMW Serie 1 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 1 F20, F21, MK 2 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How to change the oil in the automatic transmission of the BMW 1 Series?

To be able to change the oil in the automatic transmission of the BMW 1 Series, you have to go and lift the car via a bridge, so that you can have access to the underside of the car. Around the gearbox, there will be the various pipes that must be disconnected by going to collect the oil in a tray. Subsequently, it will be possible to loosen the screws that secure the cover of the lower part of the gearbox, allowing the last residues of oil to escape. By connecting the machinery to insert the oil to the drain plug, it will therefore be possible to insert the new oil by closing the plug.

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.
