In this video we'll go through step by step guide on how to replace valve cover on F80 BMW M3, also applies to F82 M4 of course. The process is very similar to N55 engine found in F30/32 335i/435i as well as other bmws with N55. The big difference on S55 engine is that you have to remove slightly more components
Thank you for watching

Used your video recently to replace the valve cover due to faulty pcv valve on my 2016 F80 at 85k miles. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill!

@reignxrugs Год назад

I used this video to do mine last night, took me 6 hours but I definitely saved on labor costs, greatly appreciated

@Zeiten Год назад

You are welcome 😉

@javierjimenez3627 11 месяцев назад

At the end is expensive, you paid with your own time...

Are you a novice to cars? I am, wanting to try

@untoldguitarist 8 месяцев назад

@@javierjimenez3627Still beats paying BMW $3383 quote for the dealer to work on my car. I bought the parts and paid my seasoned mechanic friend to help me the labor. The Valve Cover alone is $740 on FCP Euro w/ life warranty guarantee replacement. Still way less then paying BMW to work on my M4.

All you had to di is drill a small hole in your pcv it stops the whinning noise

I just followed your video to the T to replace the Valve cover on my 15’ M4. Thanks for putting this out here. Saved myself $2,000.

@kriegaufkreuz2120 Год назад

Great video! Did this job a few weeks ago and would say there’s no need to drain the coolant or remove the charge cooler. Just loosen the clamp on the U pipe, pop up the cooler and put something under it to keep it up.

@anthonyvillalpando1694 8 месяцев назад

Was it not harder to remove and install the valve cover skipping this step? Is there enough play in the pipes to move it safely?

@kriegaufkreuz2120 8 месяцев назад

@@anthonyvillalpando1694 Not harder at all. There's loads of slack in the pipes at the front of the cooler. You do however need to pop it out of the U pipe. I replaced the 2 fuel pressure sensors and I did have to remove the cooler for that.

Thank you, trying shorter diys now, so every second would be on point🙌 hopefully you guys like it

@battlehrfred Год назад

@@Zeiten Hi Tim, your longer versions, surely had/has advantages for sure,Remember, you have to realize that cater to many many people,that may be/ are very elementary (no offense to anyone), this has advantages!, so because you went into "minute details", which was still really really good and shows how detailed and "in depth" information you has attained working on your BMW specifics!! So no worries they we not boring by any means!! great sir! keep doin what you do besttt!!ty

@AgustinMK Год назад

It is said that the clicking noise on the side comes from a badly torqued exhaust camshaft. Have you done the retorque procedure? Do you know which is the correct torque or where might this problem come from? Thanks!

@OneSlowRSX1 Год назад

Just finished the job earlier today, everything went as described. Even threw in some spark plugs while in there. Took about 8 hours but I was taking my sweet time. Most challenging part was trying to lift the intercooler 😅 anyways just wanted to come back and say thanks again! Couldn’t not have done it without your help!

how long can i Drive the vehicle without it being an issue. Waiting on the valve cover but need to drive it

@AlexPerez08 Год назад

I wish I knew this was going to happen, now no warranty paying over 5k at the dealer LOL. What is the usual maintenance window for valve cover and charge air cooler (started to leak)

@rishabhsharma4079 Год назад

My breather/vent tube is stuck. You took it off at 7:29 very easily. Did your hose not have quad locks in it? How did you take it off?

@harryleelhyli2654 9 месяцев назад

the old one looks fine, is it cracked or?

@lesliecats Год назад

I finished the repair on Tuesday. After the completion, the engine compartment of the vehicle started to smoke. I thought I had messed up and was very frustrated. After inspection, it was found that it was caused by the evaporation of the detergent used to clean the oil stain. At present, everything is normal. Thank you for your previous N55 video. I tried it. It's really tiring to shoot and explain while working.

@Zeiten Год назад

Glad everything worked out👍

@lesliecats Год назад

In the next step, I plan to replace the generator, but the entire RU-vid does not share the tutorial video of replacing the S55 motor. I hope to find it on your channel next🤩

@m3pilot19 Год назад

Hey excellent video! Recently my PCV went bad and my ‘16 M3 makes that whining noise at idle when warm. Took to my local BMW dealer yesterday praying it would be covered under 7/70 or 8/80 emissions warranty but they say no because it’s Virginia, not California or other states that do CA emissions. They quoted me $2300 for the job (valve cover replacement). In your opinion how many hours should it take a BMW tech to complete this? They’re saying 8 hours 😮 Ps- my car is a 3/16 build and 67k miles.

@Zeiten Год назад

Well, depends on skill, i do it in about 2-3 hours. The quote you got is pretty good by California standards, and regarding hours to complete the job usually shops take estimated time lets say 4 hours in this case and double it, and I don’t blame them at all, estimated hours don’t get into account shop’s rent and bills and local laws etc

@NuclearShot Год назад

my bmw dealer charged almost $4000, why are the charges wildly different and quoted 12 hr job??

@m3pilot19 Год назад

@@NuclearShot because they figure most people won’t challenge them on it. 12hrs to replace a valve cover is absurd. Go somewhere else.

@mikemata623 8 месяцев назад

@@NuclearShot warranty pay time for M3 valve cover is 6.7 If the vehicle is out of warranty, the dealer takes the warranty pay time and multiplies it by whatever labor coefficient is allowed by BMW for that dealer. For my dealer it's around 10.7 hours to replace it if it's out of warranty

@f1fahad Год назад

seems like this would be a good time to do the crankhub fix as well?

@sultanf80 7 месяцев назад

after i change valve cover pcv fix it And the sound is gone But when I open the oil cap, there is still suction or pressure. What is the solution?

@votrexx1352 7 месяцев назад

4:40 I don’t think you have to remover the charge air cooler expansion tank, they can be taken off along with the unit

@christianbattung2548 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video! Do I need to change the whole cover or can I just change the gasket?

@Zeiten 6 месяцев назад

I would recommend to replace the whole thing since it has built in pcv and if it gets clogged there is no way of cleaning it so save yourself some trouble of doing this job again and replace valve cover

@christianbattung2548 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Really approxate that!

@Daniel-qs6bz Год назад

I did this but afterwards are getting misfires in cylinder 5 & 6. I moved around the coils and spark plugs, but still keep getting the misfires in 5 & 6. Does anybody have any idea of what could be wrong?

@Zeiten Год назад

Probably pinched valve cover gasket in the back, also check your ground connection in the middle between coils

@Daniel-qs6bz Год назад

@@Zeiten, thank you for you response. I took it off again, checked super carefully when putting it back in, torqued in correct order, mounted everything back. But still... same issue. Coils and plugs have been switched around so I've ruled those out. Any advice on next step in troubleshooting? The only two ideas however far-fetched they might be, is that there is dirt in the fuel injectors (but both of them...?!?) or that the cable to the coils/ground got damaged.

@Daniel-qs6bz Год назад

I ffinally figured it out with some professional help, so for the sake of others that might end up in this situation. I had faulty new bosch oem spark plugs. One had a loose porcelain, the others were causing misfires. Pulled em out and the new ngk plugs fixed it all.

@Don-xk5fd Месяц назад

Hello. Do you need to change the whole head? Or can i only install new gasket?😁

@Zeiten Месяц назад

Not head but valve cover, it has built in pcv so the recommendation is to change whole valve cover

@Don-xk5fd Месяц назад

Okei😊 i have a littel leak, and i Wonder if i only can change the gasket

@Zeiten Месяц назад

@Don-xk5fd better change the whole thing you’ll save yourself time and labor since it’s very common issue

@VassiliySmith Год назад

Привет, Тим, хороший английский уже у тебя. Есть проблема с моей BMW E92, возможно подскажешь. Когда переезжаю лежачие полицеские передний мост издает такой шум. Но когда длительное время погода сухая - шум исчезает. When I run over speed bumps, the front axle makes such a noise. But when the weather is dry for a long time, the noise disappears. What could it be, give me a clue. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-srau2n6AsPs.html
