BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Pump
Operation: Secondary air pump replacement

During the cold start phase of a petrol engine, a particularly rich mixture is required, ie with excess fuel, which creates the formation of large quantities of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons; to reduce these substances, during cold starting, air is blown directly behind the exhaust valves, into the exhaust manifold in order to generate a combustion place of the harmful substances which heats the catalyst in order to accelerate the insertion of the lambda regulation. This pump is located in front of the coolant reservoir and to be able to replace it, simply unhook the hoses, the power supply socket and the support grommets.

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.
