BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Filling the coolant reservoir

When the refrigeration system is filled with the special anti-freeze liquid, one of the risks that can be incurred is the formation of air bubbles which can compromise the efficiency of the refrigeration system itself: it is therefore necessary to observe some precautions; a very effective strategy is to open the bleed screw on the sleeve immediately behind the filler cap of the tank and also turn on the ignition by activating the passenger compartment heating with the temperature and the fan at maximum: in this way the electric pump will the liquid circulates during the filling phase to facilitate the escape of air bubbles; therefore fill the tank until the drain plug comes out of liquid continuously without the formation of air bubbles, adjust the level and if you have a hydrometer check that the coolant mixture is correct.

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.
