BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: V-belt
Operation: V-belt tensioner replacement.

Identify the position of the timing belt which, in this case, is located just behind the radiator in the front part of the engine compartment. Remove tension from the belt using the special wrench which is used to rotate the belt tensioner clockwise. Remove the belt. At this point we can remove the belt tensioner. To do this we unscrew the bolt that secures it in its position and remove it from its housing. To assemble the new belt tensioner, carry out the same operations as seen but following the opposite procedure. The car on which the maintenance operation seen in the images is carried out is a BMW 3 Series.

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.
