BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: V-belt
Operation: Bmw 3 Series 330i serpentine belt replacement

In this short and simple guide, let's see how to disassemble and replace the serpentine belt of the Bmw 3 Series 330i, following the instructions below. First of all we raise the car and start removing the lower plastic protection of the engine, unscrewing all the screws; then we remove the plastic cover that we find behind the front bumper, also disassembling the fan (disconnecting the electrical connector), as shown in the video. At this point let's loosen our belt tensioner with a torx key, removing and replacing the serpentine belt with the new one!

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.
