BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Radiator
Operation: Instructions for removing the radiator fan

In order to disassemble the radiator fan of the car in question, it is first of all necessary to have the appropriate keys: these are two keys (one to block the rotation of the fan and the other to loosen the fixing nut) long and flat and which can be also purchased in the after market; once in possession of these keys, the operation is extremely simple and it is suggested to proceed in the reverse order to what is shown in the video, i.e. first remove the air conveyor to have more room for maneuver for disassembling the fan, and then insert the keys, loosen the fixing nut of the fan, unscrew it completely by making it rotate and extract it from its seat together with the plastic cover.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
