BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: V-belt
Operation: How do you replace the serpentine belt of the BMW 3 Series?

The replacement of the serpentine belt on the BMW 3 Series is done by opening the hood, so that access can be gained to the components located inside the engine compartment: in its front part, the air filter box can be identified, which must be removed from its seat by unscrewing the fastening screws and disconnecting the tubes connected to it. Once the air filter box has been removed, it will be possible to locate the serpentine belt in the front part of the engine block: by unscrewing the screws that secure the tensioner, it will be possible to reduce the tension of the belt, removing it and replacing it with a new one.

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.
