Guide to engine timing of the BMW 1 Series.

Model: BMW Serie 1 E82, E81, E87, MK 1 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

Today's tutorial guide will show us the main instructions useful for timing the engine of the BMW 1 Series. First of all, we need to remove the entire engine block to replace the timing chain; then we perform the timing on the engine stand. We then take the references we find on the pulleys and the engine block; then we install and adjust the chain perfectly as reported by the manufacturer's manual. Finally, we reassemble the engine block onto the body, following the video tutorial until the end!

How to remove the rear bumper of an Opel Corsa? Follow these steps carefully. This operation is not too complex if done in order. First, use a screwdriver or battery-powered drill to unscrew the securing screws located near the rear lights, then remove them from the body along with their connectors. Unscrew the screws located at the top of the bumper, then unscrew the screws on the sides of the wheel arch liners and at the bottom of the bumper. Once the bumper is free from any screws or pins, grasp it with your hands and pull it away from the body (disconnect any power cables if necessary).
