BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Push button
Operation: Instructions for replacing push-buttons

The breakage of the push-buttons to lift windows is a fairly recurring defect but at the same it is simple and cheap to replace; the buttons are located on the central tunnel, at the base of the gear lever and in order to replace them it is necessary to remove the frame; start by pulling out the gear lever knob which will come off together with the control rod; at this point lift the headset by disconnecting the sockets below and then unhook the frame that houses the push-button panel to unhook the damaged one and insert the new one; then proceed backwards to complete the installation.

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.
