An excellent post mortem examination of the electric waste gate actuator motor. I appreciate you taking the time to carefully perform the operation. I learned a great deal. Thank You very much
Love these kind of videos. Just like the one you did on the aircompressor. It helped me a hole lot in understanding why things fail and what to do about it. Greatly appreciated 😊👍
30 years ago this unit would have been serviceable. Now the brushes wear, you cant open it so you can't clean it out and replace the brushes... Pretty sad if you ask me. Wish companies were required to make sustainable products, and not a remove and replace product. Sad to throw so much stuff in the trash. Thanks for tearing it down! Pretty cool to see how it works.
Amazing work and explanation step by step this what we really need when we love to DIY in our car (ruin out cars lol), I wish if you can make a video for all- round Vision camera on bmw X3 G01 2018
Thank you for the detailed video. I’m working on our g12 right now and replaced the wastegate flaps based on some internet info. However it’s still not correct. Also a new code popped up regarding a connection problem with the #2 bank. Just gonna order some actuators now. Ugh
I love this video because my car is also facing this issue for almost 6 months. However, I'd like your help to get an original actuators please for a BMW 118i 2016
I just had this part replaced on my 2016 MINI Cooper. Your video helped me to come to terms with the expense, now that I can clearly see where these things are likely to fail. Curious, though: this seems like a part you should be able to rebuild, were it not for the method used to seal the housing. Is that a cost-cutting decision or is it related to the performance of the unit?
Did you figured out the kind of signal from the position sender? It's some CAN signal or just a analogic signal proportional to the position? I'm studying about to use some eletric wastegate over a aftermarket ECU
Very interesting. I wonder why they didn't just use a regular 3 phase brushless DC drive like the valvetronic motor. Brush wear and dust in a sealed unit isn't a good thing. If the cases were screwed together you could probably just clean them out and put in new brushes to get them going again, but they probably save 0.5% of the actuators cost by hot wire welding them.
Hi, Thanks a lot Great knowledge and experience i want to use my bmw electric memory seats (comfort with central control console , e60) out of the car, only to connect them with power supply and use the as game seats, how and what do i need to do, thanks in advance Regards
Hello . to use BMW seats outside of the car you need a CAS with key to send ignition on or if not an emulator, it can be done with Arduino or I think you can buy one ( use Google) , and depending on the year of the seats you need SZM or switch module .
Those are control connectors… one is clockwise spin, next is anti clockwise spinner and the last one acts as the solenoid actuator for pushing in and out of the shaft rod… it’s a basic system
I’m sure if you could be able to glue it together again somehow, just blowing it clean would fix it.. You could probably get replacement brushes also :-) Very interesting!
It might be easy way to fix it. To remove carbon from inside drill two holes in the brushes area, put compressed air in one hole and vacuum in another. After that some contact cleaner inside will do the rest. Finally plug holes with some epoxy glue....
With the billions of transistors there are on every car nowadays, you'd think they can drive brushless motors but no, no no no, they want to save $0.02
I wish they make metal cover for it prefereably heat proof that we can dissmantle without breaking and replace brushes. Where is the Eco ? Surely if we were able to repair intead od replace we will reduce emissions . It is all money making exercise .
When u see plastic! Cheap and garbage and they do not want u to repair it. I guess water went inside and electronic circuit got damage. It should never be plastic.
