Front Headlight Repair and Radiator Replacement
Model: BMW Serie 3
E46
- Years 1998-2006
The video shows the consequences of a collision on the front right side of the car (passenger side) and some small tricks to fix the damage without having to replace too many parts. Start by fixing the front headlight, where the ring that gives the lights the typical angel eyes appearance has come loose: once you remove the bumper and the headlight, separate the front glass and reposition the ring in its place, securing it with two-component adhesive and reinforcing the joint with metal mesh. Once you are sure the adhesive has set, clean the edges of the lens and its housing to glue it with sealant. While waiting for the sealant to dry, move on to repairing the air duct in front of the fan: this involves stitching with zip ties, making holes in the two edges to connect and inserting the ties. For the fan, there is little to do; it must be replaced with a new one.

The 2020 Hyundai Tucson has two methods for opening the fuel filler flap. Both methods can only be used if the key has been removed from the ignition and the engine is off. The first method involves removing the key from the ignition and keeping all the car locks open, then go to the flap and press it. This will open the flap. The second method is to stay in the car, remove the key from the ignition, and then press the fuel filler release button located on the left door. by ScegliAuto More videos
