BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Front bumper
Operation: Removing the fog lights and front bumper

To facilitate the removal of the fog lights and the front bumper, it is recommended to lift the car on a lift or on suitable car stands; then remove the front wheels and the plastic covering of the wheel arches: in this way it is possible to access the fog lights which are not anchored to the bumper but to a bracket fixed to the shock-absorbing front cross member; then unscrew the fixing screws of the fog lights to the relative support bracket and disconnect the bulb power sockets to be able to remove them completely; to disassemble the bumper, on the other hand, it is necessary to remove the lower side grilles, fastened by interlocking, and unscrew the pins fixing the bumper itself to the front crosspiece, and then unhook it from the lateral plastic supports, present under the front fenders.

How to reset the service in the Opel Antara?

As we can see in this tutorial, resetting the service in the Opel Antara is an extremely simple and fast operation. Before proceeding, of course, we must have completed all the planned maintenance work. We start by inserting the key but leaving it in the initial position, after which we keep the accelerator pedal fully depressed and at the same time turn on the instrument panel, not the engine. At this point, we release the accelerator and press it 3 consecutive times, always all the way. We then restart the panel to verify that the procedure has been carried out correctly.
