BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: Try replacing the instrument cluster

This video, rather than teaching you and showing you the work steps to remove the instrument panel, is intended to give only a simple demonstration of what could happen by replacing your original instrument panel with a perfectly identical one but coming from another car. From the first sequences you can therefore see the original instrument panel with the correct mileage and the only two warning lights on that concern components uninstalled a priori. Now we detach the connectors on the back by squeezing the tab to release the retaining ring. We connect the other instrument panel and turn the engine off and on again. As you can see, the mileage has changed because it refers to the car in which it was installed. In addition, the brake warning light (which turns from yellow to red when you apply the handbrake) and the traction control light have come on. The only solution for this problem is a reset of the panel by a specialized technician. Car Model: BMW E46 3 Series Year: 2001

How to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
