I am Ed from Canada Follow me as I like to do my DIY maintenance of my cars & modifications of my BMW. I also do product reviews and test car related products. Hope that you find my video informative and helped you in fixing and maintaining your car. Enjoy my videos!
Just check at the front bumper grill, if you see a radiator behind the right or left side on the bumper, then you have the same drain. Thanks for watching!!!👍
The 2nd oil sample was dark partly because the oil filter/oil in the filter housing hadn't been changed. You may have needed to let it drain longer as well. I've done several engine flushes and the oil is always clean w/o running a sacrificial oil change. IF you feel compelled to do that then please do it at least 1 qrt low instead of half a qrt. 1qrt low is the minimal recommended & prevents more needless waste. Realistically since the car isn't doing any twists or turns the oil pickup should be in the oil even if it's 2 qrts low. Could also get away with just re-running the motor for 1-2 minutes on that 1st change as everything would have circulated numerous times by then.
I have a 2022 i4, Dealer told me front right Vertical Sensor faulty, When I get msj I notice car gets really bouncy, Changing the vertical sensor myself may fix issue? Thanks.
It's definitely possible that changing the vertical sensor could help with the bounciness. Just make sure to follow the proper procedures and safety precautions when working on your car! Thanks for watching!!!👍
Done one car already with Liquimoly Engine Flush and it did not hurt a thing. Old oil came out very dark, so it does clean. Doing another of my vehicles next week.
While a decent tool, it’s a mediocre coder. It can show the Vehicle Order, but cannot change it. The ProTools Android app and dongle is a better coder and can change the Vehicle Order, which is necessary for tasks such as installing racing seats and related modifications.
You're right! It’s definitely not a widespread issue, but it’s always interesting to hear different perspectives on these models. Thanks for watching!!!👍
Yes, the VDO valvetronic motor is out of stock on FCP euro. I've search on Google and I ended up buying the ECS tuning valvetronic motor. Thanks for watching!!!👍
Your engine looks super clean inside. How many miles and which oil do you use? Cover your injectors with a little cap so you avoid dust in it. Did you buu the special tool to remove the valvetronic springs?
Yes it does looks pretty clean, My car have almost 150kms on the odometer & I used Liquimoly Molygen on my last oil change. No, I didn't buy the special tool for springs on the camshaft, I'm going to use a longer bolts instead and use the bmw screws after when it's ready to tighten properly to the torque of 8.5NM. Thanks for watching!!!👍
Sorry for the delay, did you try a pick tool, I always use the pick tool when I'm disconnecting connectors, Try the pick tool, you can get them in smaller size for those tight spaces. Thanks for watching!!!👍
With a bazillion adaptors & secret tricks for removing & installing something as basic as wipers it's amazing how simple it becomes when you stumble into a vid using the exact wiper blade & car model you're scratching your head over. My biggest fear is ALWAYS that I'll break the connectors or bend something when trying to get something to click off or on that you suspect is supposed to be easy. Either you end up breaking something because you were doing the wrong thing and used too much force to try and "persuade it" or someone who knows what they're doing says "you were doing the right thing but you needed to give it a bit more Oomph". The times I did that and broke something exceeds the times I did it and it was just what the Doctor ordered. So it is nice to have a video that happens to be about EXACTLY what I needed
I totally get where you're coming from! It can be really intimidating to work on something that seems simple but can easily go wrong. Glad the video helped you out! Thanks for watching!!!👍
Hi from Greece! I started to use LM molygen 5w40 before 3 years to my city car a nissan micra k12 1.2. The car engine started to be more quiet and responsive. Now i have 220 000 km and i have opened gasket cover because of a small leakage. The engine inside is like a new 😊
Hi, Nice to hear viewers from Greece, I'm glad that you like the Molygen, as for me I do like it a lot, my engine runs a lot smoother and more responsive, getting better gas mileage too is a bonus. Thanks for watching!!!👍
Someone curb rashed a wheel on one of my BMW rentals. Did not want to spend nearly $200 to resurface and repair the wheel at a shop just for someone else to curb it again. This video helped out big time! Thank you so much. You made this an easier process than expected.
Why you did not use the positive located under the red cover ? It is built for that. Is it long enough to exit under the windshield so that you don’t need to open the engine bay to plug it ?
On that video I have 18x8 at front and 18x9 at the rear, I have a new wheel set up now, check out this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0ffvvU-0xvc.html Thanks for watching!!!👍
It is not possible to 'fully' drain the oil, a significant quality always remains in lines and oil coolers. Each new oil change you do will dilute the dark oil. For cars notorious for sticking rings and burning oil, i recommend any additional cleaning process and very, very regular oil changes.
It's hard to do the same average speed on public roads, I don't want to upset the traffic, You will not regret using Liquimoly Molygen. Thanks for watching!!!👍
I got the same wheels cause of this vid! However I’m having a hard time finding the nuts that you used for the stud conversion! Any chance you can direct me to the right spot?
Hi Boss My battery died.. went to pinas for 2 months, when we came back, I can’t start my car. I bought noco 10 at my local autozone. I used the repair mode…. After 4 hours noco when to stand by. So I charged it using the 1st mode or 12v mode. I left it over night. But i still can’t start my car. I can only start it if I jump start it with another car. What am I doing wrong? Do you know? Thanks
I use the Castrol synthetic that I got on sale, Almost same price as regular oil, But the cheap oil is also good because it's just for rinsing inside the engine and the price is a lot cheaper than synthetic. Thanks for watching!!!👍
OMG, thank you soooooooo much! I was about to buy a whole new oil pan because the bolt was stripped. You just don't know what this video just did for me. Thank you for making this video.
I'm glad that this video helped you in any way, a lot of viewers already did the same fix from my video. Good luck on fixing your oil pan. Thanks for watching!!!👍
It's a nice feature for sure. I have a genius 50pro and it has saved a lot of batteries for customers. It isn't fool proof and doesn't always work but most of the time it does. If you are really determined to revive an expensive battery you can keep repeating repair mode multiple times as well as I have seen similar results you had after one attempt but after 4 times of running repair mode it will finally bring it back. You just need to monitor the battery temp as it can get really hot
Awesome! How is it after 1 year of driving? Maybe 255/30/19 will poke less? I am considering the same offset as you because its much cheaper than ET35 front / ET45 rear over here in Europe. I can save at least 500€ with the 35/40. Btw i have no adaptive suspension and maybe i want to lower it a little bit (20/25mm or so) when the new rims are installed. Grtz
I drive alone most of the time, Only on the weekend, I don't carry passenger since my car is lowered, If I carry passenger it will rub a lot, I know the 255 will not rub, but I want the widest tire I can install on the rear because I have rear wheel drive and with my JB4 tune I'm loosing traction all the time during hard acceleration. I've just bought the MSS adjustable spring from UK, This will turn my stock shocks into coilover set up (I don't want to loose my adaptive suspension if I put KW coilovers). This is my fix for rubbing. Thanks for watching!!!👍
I will install it soon, but now I have problem with the Valvetronics on my N55 engine (common problem with N55), I'm busy right now trying to fix it and film at the same time, after that I have front bumper conversion and the MSS springs install video. Hopefully I can install both before summer is over.
Add grease to tap to catch chips. BMW dont recommend this, they prefer new oil sump, or helicoil or timesert. I have helicoi in mine and will remove and insert a oil plug valve
650ah?? No way it is that much. Maybe 650CCA but not 650ah, it’s probably not more than 100Ah. I would do a genius 5 or 10. Usually you charge at around 0.1C so for a 100Ah battery at 0.1C that would be a 10A charger.
