Hello, I also had this pipe break and changed it, but my wife noticed later that this pipe was leaking water and gave an error saying the engine was hot 100 meters before she got home because there was no antifreeze left.
I changed it, added antifreeze and bleeded the air but now it is throwing water from the antifreeze tank, the temperature does not go below 110, it is not losing oil or oil is not seen in the antifreeze, there is no steam coming out of the exhaust.
Hey Bud. When you say throwing water from the tank, I'm assuming you mean the water is bubbling? Not to scare you but I would suggest you take your car for a compression test at your local radiator shop.
Just bought 1L of this last week. Thought I'd give it a try. I have Turtle Wax, LiquiMoly and Autoglym wheel cleaners. These are all of the "hair perm" variety and I don't like to use them all the time. Tried other regular cleaners, but none actually work that great; all needing to be chased with a brush. This Nerta stuff works. Sprayed on, brake dust starts running. None of that purple wheel stuff going on. Blasted off with pressure washer and all is clean and I don't have rusty brake discs as with the decon cleaners. Finally have a wheel cleaner for regular use and the decons can be once a year. Note that the 1L bottle is literally a scaled-down version of the 5L ... including the font ... can't read f-all. 😁
@@mdworkshop3919Well I wouldn't have known about it had I not seen your videos. Thanks for that. 😀 I tried their active diamond snow foam this morning. Impressive. Took quite a bit, not all, of the road film off which is much better than other foams I've used. 2nd coverage for hand wash was good. Will just do APC on the problem areas prior to foaming. Just can't tell the difference between their active diamond and the carnet jumbo foams.
Wynns have actually just released an anti mist product to help reduce the misting effect during colder seasons. It's not expensive and is applied the same as the clearvue. Thank you for the support 👍
Thanks for great video, it is indeed quite helpful. 2022 I had an issue with that hose, but got it replaced at BMW (apparently there was a recall for those specific hoses). Right now my expansion tank is leaking, so will be replacing that tomorrow.
Fortunately they are not that expensive. I bought one from GW and it was about R400. Thinking that the GW pipe was faulty, I went the following day to BMW and bought an OEM pipe was R1100, so almost three times as much as GW but still not too expensive.
@@mdworkshop3919 That’s true, when I asked for a quote sometime last month they quoted me that amount because I initially thought that’s where my leak was coming from. To my surprise it was the expansion tank, which I’ve replaced. But now the thermostat gave in and in the most weirdest way haha. Hopefully itll be sorted this week because I’m still waiting for my claim to be processed.
@@mdworkshop3919 It's not sorted yet but hopefully soon, but I have extended warranty so ill let them deal with it. but if I didn't, it would be me and you doing it :P
Hi MD. Thank you for the video. This is quite helpful. We haven't seen that other grey bmw(the one you were doung with your bro) in a long time. Do you still have it?
Absolutely...the e90 ain't going anywhere. I've been contemplating do I buy an engine hoist or rent one as we are now prepping to remove the block from the body.
I have a 2004 9n hatch, it brakes fine but the handbrake has never felt like it grabs the drum very well. Needs a clutch soon and a new exhaust, but other than that it's sound. Really nice car imo very quiet and comfortable and costs nothing to fix, yet to do anything on the engine (4th year of ownership) and make use of all the space the 1.2 12v doesn't occupy
Mine failed around the same mileage (330i) but got it replaced at BMW back in 2022. Apparently there was a recall for those. Now I’m dealing with a leaking expansion tank, will be replacing that tomorrow morning.
Wow, Amazing. Do you my any chance remember the price for both? Mine are totally brown, This made me to hate night driving which was my favourite before now. I can definitely change them myself as i have learnt from you. I saw the both lamp on FB market for R700. Not sure if they are original though. Thank you for the Lessons on how to change my Corsa utility Bakkie. I will do mine soon in Regents Park by JHB South...
Thanks bud. Glad to hear my videos are of help. I bought mine from Opel/Chevrolet spare shop in Boksburg caller Lopec. If I recall I paid R1000 for each headlight. R700 is a steal for both on the basis that both headlights are still in good condition.
everywhere its like 750 bucks just save up buy an MJJC from detailers emporium its like 850 bucks for a way better bottle. I had the model in the video the problem is that metal part screw on to plastic if your not super careful you ruin the bottle.
Tip: Many spray things from glass rinse fit the bottle😎 Cut the straw… To fit at bottom Spray on the windscreen instead of Apply on paper or cloth🤷🏼♂️ That Will save 50% of this awesome product!!
Hey bud. Unfortunately not, I had polished these headlights on various occasions and had gone through the clearcoat, so no amount of polishing could salvage it...the housing also had quite a few deep scratches so replacing them was a definite must
This product is awesome. Takes no time to apply and it lasts very long. So far it has lasted ~1.5years/~25.000km on my daily driver. It is more hydrophobic than the ceramic coating I had on the windshield of another car I owned.
Hey bud...I dont think there's any relation from alternator to the clutch. In my case, my alternator just packed up, I had it refurbished but for some reason, it had that horrible whine. So when I replaced the master clutch cylinder, I just thought I might as well replace the alternator with a new one, which seriously was a good idea as i got rid of that whine and now i know that the alternator is good for at least another 100 000km's
@@mdworkshop3919 ahh ok, make sure you are giving the right specs for your cooling system, I have the same exact engine and it takes blue coolant, when going to the shop ask for it 50/50 premix should do and make sure to flush out the green stuff from the entire system as they can cause corrosion and tons of other problems when mixing together ,anyway this is not the first time doing a head gasket but on this particular engine your video helped me a lot in this 2 part video, so I help you any way I can
@@KapitluTlettax ... hey bud, thanks for the heads up and I'm glad to hear my video helped in some way. I will be removing the engine shortly and fitting a new/second hand engine as this engine is completely shot.
Hi @yaaseen . You most definitely can. If the camera case will be exposed to water very often, I would recommend that you reapply the product perhaps every 2 months for continued protection.
