BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Window motor
Operation: Window lifter motor replacement

To replace the window motor of your car you must first buy a new one, at a good price and of good quality. The replacement procedure is quite simple. The following guide shows how to replace the motor without taking too long and without causing damage. To reach the motor, it will be necessary to remove the door cover panel, remove the covers around the windows and proceed with unscrewing the screws, using a screwdriver. Then disconnect the connectors at the base of the buttons and unscrew all the screws that hold the motor anchored to the panel. Once the motor has been identified, the electrical cables that power it must be disconnected, taking care not to damage them during removal.

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.
