BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Air conditioning controls
Operation: Disassembly of the climate control controls

Removing the climate control controls from the central console, immediately under the car radio, is extremely simple since they are fixed by means of the lateral elastic tabs; It is therefore sufficient to use a plastic lever to be inserted laterally, on the sides of the climate control controls, in order to press and release the tabs and to be able to pull the controls forward just enough to be able to subsequently disconnect the rear sockets and complete their disassembly ( the central socket has a bayonet safety that must be released and rotated to be able to extract it).

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.
