Locating the Fuse Box

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Fuse box

If any electrical component does not respond to commands or a light does not turn on, it is likely that the corresponding protective fuse has blown. The fuse is an electrical device designed to protect a circuit from overcurrents (caused, for example, by short circuits). The operation is very simple: the fuse consists of a cartridge, through which a thin conductor wire passes, carrying the nominal current of the circuit to be protected. This wire is the actual fusible element, with a specific amperage rating. When an overcurrent occurs, the filament melts, causing the circuit to open. In the case of the vehicle in question, the fuse box with the corresponding diagram is located inside the glove compartment.

How to Remove the Engine Oil Filter of the Peugeot 308

How do you remove the engine oil filter of the Peugeot 308? Follow this guide to proceed with the replacement. Open the car door and pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the front bonnet and secure it. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the large securing bolt of the container cap where the oil filter is located (engine compartment under the ventilation pipe). Drain the used oil from under the engine sump. Remove the worn oil filter and position a new one, ensuring it adheres well around the walls of the housing. Finally, refit the ventilation pipe and top up the engine oil. Close the front bonnet last.
