BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Radiator
Operation: Radiator fan replacement

The cooling fan of the engine cooling system is mounted on the front of the radiator itself, on a plastic support frame which also houses the control unit and the engine: to be able to replace it, it is therefore necessary to remove the front bumper; therefore start by disassembling the front headlights and then moving on to the bumper, then remove the plastic cover that acts as an air conveyor by removing the pressure locks (extract first the peg and then the entire stop) and proceed with the replacement of the fan disconnecting the socket from the control unit.

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.
