BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antifreeze liquid
Operation: Engine cooling system filling instructions

After draining the engine cooling system and perhaps washing it, the circuit must be refilled; then start with the preparation of the coolant mixture using a concentrated type product to be diluted according to the instructions on the package using distilled water; then check that the mixture is adequate using a hydrometer and proceed with filling the system through the appropriate cap and keeping the bleed screw open to let the air out; once the level is reached, turn on the passenger compartment heating with the maximum temperature so that the electric pump is activated and the liquid can circulate to ensure complete filling of the system; once filling is complete, repeat the mixture check with the hydrometer, start the engine until the operating temperature is reached and check that it remains constant.

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.
