Part: Diesel filter
Operation: How to replace the diesel filter on BMW 1 series.

In this video tutorial, we can see how it is possible to replace the diesel filter on a BMW 1 Series, following a few simple steps: first, we need to buy a new diesel filter; the next step is to get into the car, turn off the engine, pull the handbrake and lift the car either with a mobile bridge or a hydraulic jack and place support stands. Prepare a container to place under the diesel filter to collect the fuel when it comes out. Remove the filter cover, once the filter cover is removed, we must verify that the new filter is suitable for replacement. Remove the clamp from the filter, disconnect the fuel injector; be ready with the container to collect the fuel that comes out. Loosen the metal clamp of the pipe, remove the support bolt, empty the filter, disconnect the fuel pipe and replace the old filter with the new one.

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.
