BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How to bleed the power steering pump

A properly functioning power steering system can make the difference between having an accident or not having one. Power steering gives an advantage when it comes to making quick steering movements, because the hydraulic pressure in these systems is almost effortless to control the vehicle. However, when air enters the power steering line, it can make handling it really difficult. A noise usually means that the system contains air and must therefore be purged. You need to remove the power steering reservoir cap and check the fluid level and place a plastic container under the bleed valve, then slowly open the valve so that the power steering system can bleed.

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.
