BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Disassembly of the air conditioning compressor

Before proceeding with the disassembly of the air conditioning compressor, the gas must be recovered with the appropriate equipment, in order to prevent it from being released into the air when the pipes are disconnected. Once the recovery has been performed, loosen the auxiliary belt tensioner to free the compressor pulley; disconnect the socket and the pipes (green oil may leak) to disassemble the fixing pins and then remove the compressor from its seat, levering with a screwdriver to free it from its aluminum support.

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.
