BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Handle
Operation: Door handle repair and adjustment

If there is difficulty in opening the door, it is necessary to adjust the opening system. A simple Allen key is required for this operation. Open the door and on the side where the locking hook is located, remove the plastic cap that allows access to the adjustment screw. Insert the Allen key into the hole and turn it counterclockwise by about a quarter of a turn applying the right force. Try closing the door to check that it works perfectly. If not, repeat the operation until perfect closure is obtained.

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.
