BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Valve
Operation: Steering wheel angle sensor replacement

The steering wheel angle sensor of the car model in question is a sliding contact potentiometer located along the steering column, in the rear part; precisely because with sliding contacts, the lamellae and the contact tracks tend to wear out, generating false contacts and irregularities in the measurement of the flying angle itself; to be able to remove it, it is first of all necessary to remove the portion of the dashboard immediately under the steering wheel; then move on to disassembling the joint that connects the steering column to the steering box in order to free the axis of the steering column; then remove the seeger ring at the end of the steering column axis, extract the plastic bushings, taking care not to damage them and release the steering wheel angle sensor by releasing the relative cable.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
