BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How do you change the gearbox oil of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to change the oil in the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series, it is convenient to lift the car with the help of a bridge, so that the components located in its lower part can be accessed more comfortably. Here it will be necessary to loosen the screws that secure the protection panel of the lower part of the vehicle, in order to access the gearbox: by unscrewing the bolt that secures the gearbox drain plug, all the used oil can be collected in the inside of a suitably positioned container. At this point it will be possible to top up from the same hole using a syringe.

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.
