Securing Door Pillar Trim

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

It may happen that due to overheating in the cabin, the trim on the door pillar can detach and come out of its seat, particularly at the seat of the seatbelt; the edge of the trim is actually held in place by the plastic cover of the seatbelt area. Therefore, remove any debris present under the area of the detached trim, pull it to eliminate any wrinkles, and use a screwdriver to reinsert the fabric edge under the lip of the plastic cover without using glue.

How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Volkswagen Golf

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working. Now, relieve the tension from the tensioner pulley and remove the belt for replacement.
