BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Starter motor
Operation: Removing the starter motor

Before proceeding with the disassembly of the starter motor, it is advisable to disconnect the battery; the motor is fixed to the gearbox by means of torx-type pins: therefore unscrew the fixing pins of the motor to the gearbox bell, disconnect the power supply cables of the relay and extract the motor from its seat, taking care not to damage the o-ring gasket. During maintenance of the starter motor (brush replacement), protect its seat on the gearbox also with a clean rag, to prevent anything from getting inside it.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
