Where Are the Filters Located in BMWs with N47 Engine?

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

This video shows where all the filters are located in BMW vehicles with the N47 engine: the air filter is found under the large front grille situated right in front of the engine block; to remove it, simply unclip the two clips at the front, then there are three at the back, and lift the cover. The YouTuber rightly recommends that when changing the filter, it should be thoroughly cleaned with a vacuum, including the housing for dust and debris; avoid using compressed air as it spreads dust throughout the engine. It is also noted that the oil dipstick is indeed present, although hidden, at the top of the engine block. On the left side under the windscreen, you can find the cabin air filter: there are three screws, which when removed, allow you to pull it out. The diesel filter is located underneath the vehicle; it is necessary to lift it, remove the plastic cover, and you will find this sort of canister which is the filter. The cabin filter is located inside, under the glove compartment.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
