BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Handle
Operation: How do you replace the exterior door handle on the BMW 3 Series?

The replacement of the external handle of the BMW 3 Series is carried out by opening the door, so that the circular cover on the side of the door can be detached. Under this cover it will be possible to identify the screw which must be loosened in order to extract the block of the lock from inside its seat: once the old lock has therefore been removed, it will also be possible to remove the handle from its housing, in so that the new one is inserted. Finally, the door lock can be repositioned, fixing it with the side screw.

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.
