BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Expansion tank disassembly instructions

To carry out this maintenance it is important that the engine is cold since it is necessary to drain the coolant: then remove the stone guard from under the engine compartment, unscrew the bleed screws from the cooling system (these are the light blue plastic ones under the radiator) and drain the coolant; disconnect the hoses from the expansion tank by extracting the fixing pins; retighten the bleed screws, extract the cotter pin fixing the vessel to the radiator located on the bottom and extract it from its seat by pulling it upwards (removing the fan facilitates the operation).

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.
