- ►Have you heard an extremely concerning grinding sound from the center of your F30 BMW 3-series? There's a good chance that a simple fix to the parking brake cable will solve it all.
Running from the interior back to the rear calipers, the parking brake cable locks the rear calipers when you pull on the handbrake. The cable runs along the transmission tunnel to the back of the car and is held up by a clip on the fuel tank. That clip has become a common failure point for the F30, allowing the sheathed cable to rub on the drive shaft and cause very concerning grinding. Unfortunately, the retainer clip is above the fuel tank and can't be accessed without dropping it. However, AGA Tools has just the solution.
In this video, FCP Euro's BMW Expert, Gareth Foley, resecures the parking brake cable on a BMW F30 328i.

You guys are awesome. took me about an hour to hour & 1/2 from start to finish with the car on jack stands. Saved $800 on labor doing it myself rather than taking it to a shop
Imagine doing this with just two jack stands and on your back. Oh wait it only took me 4hrs and many explicits 😂
Next week, I will do it! 😅 any suggest ?
All European cars aside, Gareth you look skinner! Looking good mate but miss the original chubby gareth too 😢
Thank god you guys made this video I thought I was going nuts
I bought the DIY fix part and about to put it in. Thanks for the video it will help a lot. Kind of expensive but final solution.
Crazy how I just started hearing this noise on my ‘13 and this video found me!
Wish we could take credit for how insane the internet is these days haha. Easy enough remedy!
Love the videos and keep up the great work. I have this exact same problem with my car. I did a temporary fix that doesn't look very good so this will be very useful.
Could you guys release a full build video on this particular N20 car? That bracing you installed from the F32 is intriguing
I just used some tywraps worked perfectly
You said it kinda fast so i'm not sure i heard right, but did you say this is also possible in a E chasis? i think im having this issue in my E92
Now, since I don't really have access to a lift, can I find an independent BMW shop that will install the aftermarket part? I'm pretty sure I can...
What if I once did hear that scratching noise and I "fixed it" by doing the zip tie mod from the inside of the car by going in the rear AC vents in the back seat? I no longer hear the scratching noise at all. Should I still do this?
If my hand brake also does not catch at all, do you think the issue could still be bracket or the whole cable itself?
A nice bit of kit. A little pricey, but good to know it exists. I wonder how many folks (including me) might try throwing a couple of zip ties on there first.. maybe secured under a large washer on that stud.😬😆
Whilst it's a good solution, the price of the part is ridiculous for what it is.
Totally agree, mine just broke a week ago and was so excited when a saw this video, went to buy the part and realized it cost 20x the cost of the factory part, definitely not worth the extra cost I’ll just do the job again rather than spend the extra 190 dollars
Go on turner motor sports they have it 125 that’s where I got mine. 200 is ridiculous 125 is reasonable . You drive a BMW nothing is gonna be cheap. Go the expensive way and get the metal or get the cheap plastic one and in another 40k miles the sound will be back.
@@prodkevv2freefornonprofitb982Yes I actually made the comment referring to the cheaper price as I'd seen that on the AGA website. $125 is still pretty unreasonable for what it is.
I don't get FCP's mark up on that one - I'm sure someone will mention their lifetime warranty but realistically that's never going to be needed here.
If this is such a common issue, why the hell don't they recall it?
This makes such a terrible noise for how small of a problem it is
200 bucks? rather spend $10 for the genuine clip and spend an extra hour on dropping the fuel tank to get more access.
BMW plastic - don't think about it, don't even look at it. It is glass.
