2015 Bmw m4, replaced OEM turbos as the car was smoking when stopped at a redlight etc, bad seals. Replaced with stage 2+ hybrid turbos, car drives strong, great on stage 2 93 octane tune. I have pulled on new camaro SS's with ease. Thing is, in the last 2 months (1500 miles) while driving hard, white smoke will pour out, i'll pull over but then stops after like 15 seconds. Is this oil getting pass the turbo seals? PCV valve replaced last year. Random episodes of smoke.. video mentioned white smoke = bad timing because of wrong tune for these slightly larger turbos? I couldnt really smell if it was oil or coolant
This is what I've pictured and the binding explanation at the very end was helpful. I've had a very old daily that has given me fits with random caliper sticking entry once in a great while. The fluid was very dirty so I flushed it, but the random problem persisted on one wheel. I seemed to trace the problem to the return bleed holes in the ABS and ended up aggressively back flushing with a syringe at several points.
I bought two of those tester pens from Amazon, two different brands. Then I took a new bottle of brake fluid, mixed half of it in a glass of water. I tested the mixed brake fluid and water and well as the pure brake fluid in the newly opened bottle. One of the tester pens reported both solutions as bad, the other reported both solutions as good. I returned both of them and bought some copper test strips instead.
Couple of questions if you don’t mind 😊 How does the ecu “know” when to stop applying power to the motor when the pads make contact with the disc, what stops it continuously pushing. Is it a timed function or does it measure current ? After retracting the piston with the motor then installing new pads, will applying the EPB run the motor until it’s back to its usual on/off state ?
Why can’t Honda Accords have this feature, I’m literally stuck with the Right rear side Electronic parking brake piston stuck and getting a message on the dashboard “Parking Brake Hold problem See your dealer” Any suggestions on if this is a electrical issue or the piston motor going bad?
Volvo and others recommend a 9V battery on the EPB. Does that push the piston all the way back or do I still need to manually push it back after it has retracted?
Thank you so much! I tried my first pair of brakes with electric parking brake and I struggled with compressing the piston at first. Wasted a few hours and once I saw this video I flew through the repair.
This stumbled on my feed; however, could've saved some time by advising to reference the manual that comes with the starter at the beginning of the video and then end the video
Thanks for the video, a question my matrix 2009 starter stay engaged one second after the engine run , what could be the problem thanks to answer me back
Why would you want to? The replacement caliper has undergone multiple tests at the factory prior to shipping. We DO NOT recommend applying power to an EPB caliper without putting the vehicle in service mode.
Mine was the alternator cable was connected on the wrong side of the starter relay I guess the last mechanic connected on the wrong side give me the power to my starter wire and staying engage after I started it
I have 2018 chevy equinox with 80k KM on it last week i was driving 120mph and pressed the brakes hard the brakes weren't responding as a wanted, so I went to replace the brake fluid with Ravenol DOT 4 the cap has dot 3 written on it but Ravenol DOT 4 have 271c dry and 169c wet boiling point and man even the brake pedal feeling changed. we have also 2012 Sonata Hybrid with 140km on it that we didn't do a brake flush on the ABS died and it won't drive unless you replace the ABS and it costed 1800 us dollars to replace by the way the fluid was black.... I highly recommend spending 50$ as i did to replace and flush all the fluid from the system now the car stops faster, and brake pedal is much better now and the ABS will live longer..

Ok...here's the second video of "how to shim a starter" with a naked flywheel (no bell housing!). What if I just bought an old Chevy that runs & drives but the starter isn't shimmed right?
I am not sure how true this is, in my 40+ years of driving I have never ever had any issues with any of my vehicles braking systems when it came to brake fluid or anyone I have ever known and know has never had issues not having brake fluid flushing , usually by the time the brake fluid is getting very dark the lines are going and need to be replaced which also means the system will have to be bled , sure if you are driving say something like a big rig, hauling heavy weight and trailers using your brakes allot or have a race car doing average speeds of 100MPH and having to stop yes but the average person I am "doubting" that it needs to be done. yes check your fluids and brakes if you go to a place that gives you a huge list take the quote then go to a different place don't say anything and see what they say This next part is more of a rant then anything I think that it's a scare tactic that shops use, I took my 06 Lexus is 350 for an oil change, only asked for an oil change I went for a walk came back, the guy starts telling me my front brakes are really bad and that the backs needed to be replaced , I know the fronts are down to around 28% the rears were done two years ago and i had just checked them about a month ago , the person gives me a huge quote ( over 2000cad) (again I never asked for any of this) they also mentioned brake fluid flush ( another 50CAD) I asked him why he tells me it should be done pretty much every brake job, it's a shame because I used to always go to this same place they were excellent but the owner sold the place , the new owner who to me is thief . When the rear brakes were done they replaced the calipers and rotors, so the brake fluid was also done, I looked at my brake fluid which was clear. I used to do all my own work on my vehicles and well this car is to low and my back isnt the greatest so I need to take it in to get most things done and it's ridiculously expensive most places now two bit you to death

That's what I'm wondering... I've changed tons of starter motors and one, never had an issue and two, the bellhousing is always in the way so how are you supposed test the gap to 'shim' the motor housing anyway? What am I missing, is this just for race motors or something? :-)
When it comes to brzke fluid i would make it compulsory to put sticker on the master cyclinder to say which dot. 3 4 5 to avoid confusion As to the type brake fluids used
Take that wedding ring and watch OFF when working under the hood of ANY car. Or, maybe not. Everyone has their own level of PERSONAL SAFETY. Good luck.
No, you don’t put fluid in the caliper before replacement. Please watch this video for additional assistance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dZyLHOTyeKo.html
Problem fixed, I used a shim . I've replaced two different starters and this guy on a forum said that he added a shim and I've tried it myself and it does work.
