Mostly BMWs here but I like all cars. I am not a certified mechanic so any auto repair videos are from experience or what I have seen. Just trying to help others out and show some nice content. Use my videos to repair your vehicle at your own risk and kids don't try this at home.
I got the same radiator just shipped in , unfortunately the sensor broke off on the old radiator, do I need to buy the sensor for my car to run and be ok?
@eliassaavedra5113 the car will still run without the sensor but you will get a check engine light and won't be able to pass emissions. You can get a new sensor if you need to pass emissions or wait.
@@cgcars3427 Im not due for another 2 years for that emissions test , somebody told me it turns on the fans if the radiator is too hot is this true? If not I’m just going to assemble it without the sensor because I need my car rn lol , the sensor broke off the plastic probe but the wires are still attached to the sensor block itself hahaha I might re use it with some type of electrical adhesive
@eliassaavedra5113 the sensor that controls the radiator fan is connected on one of the coolant hoses so without the radiator sensor it will still work. I had installed my radiator and my sensor had broken too so I had it without the sensor and the car ran fine and the radiator fan turned on normally. If you get nervous about it, just let the car run without driving it and watch and make sure the fan turns on.
Damn i was thinking about getting the 7001 radiator from csf which is the all alluminum one that is practically better since it wont leak cause of the plastic
@edifymusicvideos you're welcome. Yea $600 is alot. These are way cheaper and work just as good. Happy to help, let me know if you help with anything else.
I was trying to decide what size since I didn't want any rubbing especially since I am with people in my car. I currently got 235 40 that my tire guy had brand new and said that it would look good. I like how it looks, I wanted a lower profile but wider for better rim protection but it's good so far🤞.
I don't have the link, bought these a while ago, don't even got the car either anymore lol. Just search for exhaust tips on ebay or online and look for your car model and year. You would get alot of results, you can pick the color and style and make sure they are ones that you can use with your stock exhaust.
It works for auto or manual. It brings 2 plugs that go at the bottom of the radiator where the transmission cooler goes. The plugs are different lengths, the longer is for auto and the shorter is for manuals. The shorter blocks it so that no fluid comes out where the transmission cooler would go.
Yea 6 bills is alot, that's what I dislike about the SULEV N51 engines. I got the radiator and sensor separate. I bought the sensor for 90 bucks of some website that the seller bought the sensor and never used it.

So that temperature sensor link u sent from fcp that says bmw Mercedes that’s the correct one cus I notice it just says for n26 when u try to validate the fitment on fcp euro
@SlwE92 it's the same one. That's the same one I got and it works fine. Here try this website below because it actually lists the N51 and you can enter car info to match it. www.autohausaz.com/pn/14705245-UR-262188100?BMW&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFo8UMFB5iWXCBNu2DRt3YpzJl7SDcnXq70-GXf4cyNEwzQgM_ahZfFxoCe6oQAvD_BwE
I replaced the stock muffler with a Magnaflow exhaust. Also some of these have 2 resonators, I left the Y resonator and removed the other. It sounds really good but also in this video I had installed an exhaust cutoff valve that's right after the cats. It opens and closes.
Non perde potenza, funziona e suona alla grande. Lo consiglierei e non dovrò spendere soldi per marmitte costose, a meno che non usi l'auto per le corse.
Not really, haven't experienced that. Are you sure it's coming from the fan clutch and not the water pump? Water pump can make clicking noise when it's dying, or check if the fan blade is hitting something or is broken.
@@cgcars3427 so i checked it. The clutch and water pump are solid and the fan has the proper amount of resistance when turned by hand. But then i wiggled it, the fan was coming loose from the clutch itself. Is that cause to buy a whole new fan or replace it with an electric version? Or is there a way to tighten the fan back onto the clutch?
Yea you can tighten the screws that connect fan blades to clutch. You can buy either one separately, don't need the whole set. Wouldn't replace with an electric fan because then you have to get the right wire, relay and fan strength. Not worth it, just tighten fan or get new fan or clutch if needed.
Hey genius, the starter was already bad hence why I took it out of the car. It gets stuck so I banged it and it worked for a little but too old, worn and rusted.
To anyone having hard time removing it. Set o. The center consol woth each leg on each side of the car. And pull HARD. Just dont hit yourself on the face 😂
@@cgcars3427 wasn't easy. Mine never been removed before. Same with manual shift knob. But when you set right on the center consol arm rest it will come right off. It must be 100% straight up
@MMusa-gy7qb first time definitely the toughest. My auto and manual since knobs have been changed come off easier. Though the car in this video had the original knob but wasn't hard.
Hi, there I’ve changed the pulleys, visco and the fan clutch but it still makes a loud blowing noise when when driving and when stationary. I can feel loosing it’s power , can you help me im confused.
Is the coolant full and have you changed the thermostat? Sometimes if it needs coolant or thermostat is faulty the car may get hot too quick and make the fan clutch kick in sooner or most of the time.
@@cgcars3427Also the car never reaches the middle temp and its under like 10-20C* than the normal temp running(sorry my english is not my first language)
If your temp doesn't reach half way, it may be the thermostat not letting the car get to the right temp, or if fan clutch is faulty and is stuck on high speed, it is always working more than it should.
When you attach the positive to one side of the wire, test the other side of the wire to make sure you are getting power for sure. If you are getting power then the selonoid may be bad. How old is the car and how many miles?
Nja you have to see if the coals are worn out. Moisture often gets inside the oil sand. It's for all cars. It is necessary to open, clean and change the carbons and clean the contacts.
Could definitely cause headgasket to go if car overheats. Usually the auxiliary fan would kick in for a little but may not be enough to keep car from overheating.
They are latches and for the most part they latch by pressing gently, I do it all the time. But yea there are some that need extra force but not slammed like people do when the hood is completely open. I've seen people do that and have seen broken front grills and messed up headlights.
