Hi mate I know this was 7 years ago but am lucky enough to finally own my dream m5 so thought a week into ownership I will give the big girl some nice new blood/oil lol so done everything as you did but used a different oil filter tool and it slipped and I think I have broken a sensor or something because when I filled the car back up and put the front end back down it has trouble starting and I have engine management light on plus a break fault plus a traction fault and drivetrain fault what could I have done thanks hope you see this
Did you leave a car door open while working on the car? Sound like a drained battery. When the battery voltage is too low, BMW's spit out all kinds of weird faults. Try charging the battery, then retry.
Has a 94 LHS which was my first Chrysler vehicle (I grew up a GM girl). We loved it, it was so roomy, comfortable, and dependable. We drove it to 250,000 miles and then sold it.
Bob can you help me out please, i was driving on the highway & i put it in sport floored it when the drive train malfunction came on with a lot of shaking from the engine i immediately thought misfire but when i parked turned it off/on & did not come back i still floored it & it felt like normal
Thats the problem, it could be anything,u can't go straight to the cause. I replaced all plugs,all coil packs all 6 injectors this bmw will not run correctly its the Devil
Great DYI video however I replaced it on my G31 2018 Touring and now the top active grill flaps are working the other way around, closed when driving and open when parked/ignition off. Any way to reset this behaviour to default? One note to make is that when I disconnected the old motor actuator the flaps went to closed position and wouldn't let me twist them to open. Any help/guidance greatly appreciated. Tnx
Facts! It’s like they are designed to go out.im currently dealing with this crap. I’ve changed spark plugs fuel injectors and even bought a new battery
Is there a way to move the gears on the actuator? The new one is not sliding in like the old one does- I’ve tried both the closed position and the open position.. Thanks.
Hello, nice video, thanks for sharing! One thing occurred me, you drained 6 l out and filled 6,8 l up. It means that you had an oil shortage all the time before the exchange? As you said the DCT is very sensitive of oil level then this situation could have cause some issue? What is your opinion? Thanks
I attributed 0,3-0,5 liters to the heavy soaked filters I pulled out. Even for the DCT's there is a tolerance for fluid. I'm guessing that +/- 0.5 liters of completely full level won't cause issues. I think by doing the ISTA adaptation, the levels allowed for a little more accuracy. If you want to see what difference 0.5l makes, with the pan off, put some fluid in the pan (level surface), note where the level is, then add 0.5l. You'll barely see a rise in level as the pan is so spread out.
@@bobmac1970 Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have ISTA, I will have to operate very exactly with the oil amount. Only chance for me is to fill the same amount as is drained out. There is another problem concerning the lines and the front oil cooler. Why didnt you disconnect the lines in the front and didnt let all the oil drained? Thanks
@@richardbielicky3603 You can definately get a few extra mL's out by also draining the cooler. When you are done, and think you have the level right, cycle thru D and R, then re-check. That may allow a little extra fluid.
@@bobmac1970 thanks for your reply, I have never exchanged the DCT oil yet but my expectation is about 1,5 l. I speak about M4 (F82) which has the same DCT and similar oil circuit like your M5. I have a different doubt, If I open the hoses some air gets inside and I dont know if the DCT itself is able to press the air out. If not then it can cause some future problems in DCT operation. Do you have any experience with this situation? Thanks Richard
@@richardbielicky3603 I hope you're talking about 1.5 l from the cooler. Don't worry about air. The transmission will push the fluid thru. I hope you are doing this on a lift...without, I would not recommend, as you'll be checking the level while the car is running. I'm not sure how tight the clearance for the side filter is on the F82.
В России,в Москве, привод верхних жалюзи оригинальный стоит 40$,замена стоит 30$.Нижний привод меняется только в сборе с решёткой жалюзи.Оригинал BMW стоит 200$.Замена с снятием бампера 100$.Это цены в Москве.Я только что менял у себя на BMW G 30. За все оригинальные запчасти вместе с работой я оплатил 370 $
I’ve got code 21b045 loss of comm’s with lower actuator as a permanent code. However I don’t have lower air flaps? And my upper kidney grill air flaps are working fine?? I’m replacing the actuator in any case to see if the error goes away.
hello i found this useful as i didnt know if i could charge the battery through hooking it onto the terminals inside the engine bay. my f10 550i is currently dealing with some battery drain and this is hoepfully keeping it alive until the auto electricians find out whats wrong with it
Hey bob so mine only happens when i reverse the car, it turns to neutral and i can't reverse. What could be the cause? I was told its the transmission and told to change it, but I'm getting more opinions before changing
It does sound like a transmission issue. The shop should read out what transmission codes they are getting. It could be something as relatively simple as a stuck or non-functioning solenoid. Good choice to get a second opinion!
Nice. I know a person, a friend of mine, who bought a brand new 1994 Chrysler Concorde in 1994. It was a very nice car, very similar to this one, and he loved it. It had that strong 3.5 V6 too. By the way, too bad you didn't cranck up the engine in this video.
My husband has a 2023 m4 that hasn’t been driven since January. We have the same trickle charger. It’s been plugged in for (going on 3 days now). Do you know how long this could take? I appreciate the video and helpful info. This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic.
When the led lights reach the 8th or 9th position, the battery has been fully conditioned, as is good to go. This can take a few days depending on how depleted the battery is.
