BMW Serie 1 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 1 F40, MK 3 - Years 2019-2024
Part: Control unit
Operation: Where is the control unit located in the BMW 1 Series?

In this short video, we can see where the control unit is located in the BMW Series 1 F40, useful for example in case we need to replace it. As shown, it is located inside the engine compartment, specifically on the right wall of the battery located on the driver's side. To remove it, it will be sufficient to disconnect both the front connectors and the negative terminal of the battery and unscrew the various fixing bolts. To make our work easier, it is possible to remove the battery first, in order to create more space. Once the operation is completed, make sure to securely reconnect the connectors.

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.
