BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the V-belt

The first step in replacing a V-belt is to make sure you select the appropriate type of belt. Make sure that they are mounted correctly and that the bolts and screws are tightened to the recommended tightening torque. First, after turning off the machine, the belt must be removed without forcing it. Make sure the straps are clean and completely dry before they are used. The new belt must then be installed and the transmission center distance adjusted until the correct tension is obtained. Finally, the casing must be installed.

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.
