BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Maintenance of a ZF 6HP26 automatic transmission on a BMW 320D

In this video, we see the maintenance of a ZF 6HP26 automatic transmission on a BMW 320D after a limited number of kilometers. However, despite this, the transmission oil was already worn out, demonstrating how important it is to replace the oil on this type of transmission. In fact, wear marks are noticed inside the pan, and the oil is also saturated with ferrous material, so the oil is drained using the specific attachment (obviously in a workshop). The cleaning can only be done with the appropriate machinery, through which special additives are inserted to improve performance. The oil is then refilled into the transmission, and a road test is conducted directly by the owner, who doesn't even feel the gear shifts.

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.
