BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Engine
Operation: Removing the passenger compartment fan resistor

To access the resistor that regulates the speed of the passenger compartment fan, it is necessary to remove some elements (plastic, bulkheads, ...) which are located on the passenger side, immediately under the glove compartment; once the various covers have been removed, start by disassembling the actuator for activating the air deflectors, disconnecting both the relative socket and the control cable itself; immediately behind the actuator is the resistor that regulates the speed of the passenger compartment fan: then unscrew the relative fixing screws and extract it from its seat (the aluminum cooling fins are clearly visible).

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.
