Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 1, E87, E81, E82 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Cabin air filter
Operation: How to replace the pollen filter on a BMW "1 Series

In this video tutorial, we can see how to replace the pollen filter on a BMW "Series 1" by following some simple steps. The first thing to do is to purchase a new cabin filter from an authorized dealer. The next step is to get into the car, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake. The pollen filter on this car can be found in the upper left part of the engine compartment, so we need to lift the hood and secure it with a special rod. Unscrew the fastening elements of the filter cover with an 8mm socket wrench, remove the cover of the filter box, remove the filter from its seat, position a new filter following the arrow indicated on the cabin filter. Reinstall the filter box cover.

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.
