Great video! Thanks! I'm about to replace the valve stem seals on my 2007 X5 48i N62TU, and was thinking I should replace the valley pan while I've got things torn apart. Is the valley pan process for the N62TU much different than for the M62TU? Any idea what the parts list would look like for me?

@mikes.garage 4 года назад

Thank you! N62TU is completely different engine! I don't think you will have a problem with valley pan cover on this engine. They usually have tube seal leaking under the valley pan and to replace it not that easy. You need to find the video with your engine and decide if you want to do anything for now.

@pablodiazmorales5649 4 года назад

Mate, the video is very well done and with lots of details. Thank you!!!. I've a couple of questions.. 1- I've seen few videos around and they cut a tube and replace it with a collapsible one...is this for newer models? I have the M62TU44 from a 2002 X5 4.4i but mine looks more like your engine. 2-What are the black rubbers on the box at the end of the video? I know the red gaskets are for the manifold, and then there are gaskets and orings for the cooling manifold and pipes, and then the complete valley pan w the gasket but what is the last rubber from the cardboard box? Thanks a lot mate, I give it a like and subscribed Cheers

@mikes.garage 4 года назад

Yes, this is the same engine like you have. Other videos with cutting the pipe out this is fore next generations of engine's. The black is not a rubber this is plastic valley pan cover, installing on valley pan gasket. You need to see second part ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0vpN9OqZSy0.html and you will know more details. Thank you for watching!

@mikes.garage 5 лет назад

They are there for holding wires in place, but if you pull them they come out without any problems. I don't know if you need to clean your injectors, my was fine, and you don't need to replace o-rings if you not remove them.

@zaydzastrow8810 3 года назад

Is it required to replace intake manifold gaskets after every single time you remove intake manifold? I’ve heard yes and no

@mikes.garage 3 года назад

If you replaced it before, then no. If you replaced it 50000 km ago then better to replace. The main things you need to make sure the gaskets are still flexible and not cracking if you bent it.

@Recklessness97 3 года назад

Hey Mike thank you for such a detailed DIY it's great. I have a question for you through. I will be doing this on my 03 6speed msport 540i along with a complete cooling system refresh. I will be using the colder 88° thermostat like you have. I know you have to use a resistor connected the thermostat plug to trick the DME into thinking there's a plug connected to the thermostat on the newer 540i models like ours. I'm having a hard time finding what type and what Ohm's to use for the resistor. What did you use? It looks like you used BMW part # 13901734469, did you? If you did does it work and if you didn't use that part what did you use? I would really appreciate the help.

@mikes.garage 3 года назад

Thank you for watching! Yes, I used original BMW resistor with the same part number what you have. It works and never had any problems with it. This resistor does not allow engine errors to pop up on your dash. Good luck to your project!

You should able to see at the back of your engine with a flash light. Look under intake manifold. This is how I found it. Also is leaking antifreeze at the back, this is more likely valley pan gasket. If leaking at the front, this is probably water pump.
