BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace the shock absorbers in your car

Shock absorbers are very important for the functioning of your car. These elements wear out after a certain period of time and need to be replaced. By doing it all yourself you can save some money. At first it may seem like a pretty demanding task, but if you have a little patience it can be done safely. You have to jack up the car and loosen the bolts on the car with the appropriate wrenches. After the upper bolt has been unscrewed, the brake hose must also be removed. It is connected to the shock absorber with wires that can be easily removed. The new ones must be mounted using the same procedure.

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.
