MY BLOWN BMW E92 IS UNFIXABLE 

Had a flickering oil pressure light and false oil level warning on my 330ci, replacing the oil level sensor fixed both issues including the low oil pressure warning.

I first removed the comment but now adding it again even if all of its content is not relevant for your N43 engine: If your engine had been the N42 or N46 i would recommend you to inspect the worm gear on the eccentric shaft (where the valve tronic motor operates). This gear often often having oil starvation due to a clogged spray nozzle, causing premature wear between the worm gear and the valve tronic motor pinion. Then the worm gear wears the out of tolerance causing the car to misfire. In your case I recommend to check with a smoke tester the intake system for any vacuum leaks. If tou have a small vacuum leak it will potentially not throw any codes in the ECU. A vacuum leak would also be aligned with the airmass flow sensor code you have. If the car run too lean, it will cause the airmass sensor to throw a code. This does often not being the sensor itself, but a vacuum leak post sensor in the intake system. Next I would address the fuel injectors and timing (stretched timing chain since the N43 engine is prone to chain wear and failure).

Dobrze 😂 hello from Poland

Your videos are amazing man, constantly getting better and better. Love from Croatia :D

My e90 316i acted very much like your car. Up until 215.000km it had been running with leaking valve stem seals and a broken pcv. I fixed that, but it ran like crap after, especially at idle. I changed the maf sensor, and that made the car drivable. I was about to change the upstream o2 sensor, but decided to just drive the car instead, as much as possible. These cars hate being stood outside in the Norwegian winter, and need to be driven regularly. The car is now at 217.000km, and seems to be healing itself, lol. I should clean out the intake manifold, but I'm fed up at this point, so I'll just keep on using the car till it breaks down. Love your videos, all the best from Tromsø.

Good video, the car is testing your patience. Driving around with the gauge was cool :) I hope you get it working, you deserve that it drives properly!

Dobrze!

that is just amazing content bro stunning to whatch i enjoyed every second of this vid keep up the good channel bro stunning looking motor amazing work put into her hope she works out well for you bro👌👌👌👌👌👌

Didn't know these car came with other engine beside N52,N54 and M57

Asalamaleikum from Kosoves.Kosova people love Norway.If you want car engin to last long change oil max 3500-4000Km or 3 months.

your detication really shows here!

Quality of the videos is improving constantly, keep up the good work! I'm sure you'll figure out the problem. Greetings from Italy.

Great job again and as you said you’re getting close to the finish line with this car. Looking forward to the next episode !!

I hope your patience and dedication will reward you. I did have a oil pressure problem myself but on the older E46, problem was luckily fixed with a new sensor, far mor easier.

You are a proof, that with right motivation and commitment you can do almost everything. I know dozen of people that will say that they can't do this type of job, because eg they don't have a car lift or proper tools. Kudos to you!

Du är grym, du löser det där! 👏🏻💪🏻

Daaamn, I hope you don't give up and eventually manage to get it running properly for an epic ending video :)

Nice car! Keep at it!

Oh, and running fresh fuel and injection cleaner also helps on the rough idle and bad performance. Worth a try before cleaning the injectors, especially on high mileage old cars that need to run regularly.

in your last video @29:08 , you are testing the oil pressure regulator, and it worked ! But i have replaced them many times , because of a low oil pressure warning light coming on Inside of the regulator, is a valve which scratches the outside walls , and gets stuck , so sometimes you get low oil pressure ! Replace the regulator and the oil pressure sensor , by removing the alternator you can reach them with ease and its a 30 minute job P/S Replace them with Original parts, trust me ! And that PCV valve you replaced , its probably broken already , because they always do Replace the valve cover for a new original one [ yes its 300 euro , i know ]

Brilliant video as usual but ruined by the number of ads RU-vid are plastering on it, 30 second ones every 4 or 5 minutes not even ones you can skip after 5 seconds

nice work but Be careful with jack stand

Not sure if this will help but, my e46 was doing the same thing with the oil pressure light. Turned out it was the oil level sensor which was causing the light. No codes or anything. Worth a try 😅 Great videos!

bro just a tip dont grind welds on exhaust systems cuz welds tend to corode sooner cuz of heat,weather etc and if u grind it out there will be less time period when it falls off again :D

Hey, maybe check the live data of the o2 sensors as well. With this milage they can be original amd worn. I had similar problems with my audi where a broken o2 sensor made the car run roughly at idle, high consumption etc. Also check for vacum lines, they can cause bad idle.

Great work with the E92. At this point I would have lost all hope and probably just buy M57 engine and put it in the car :D. All 4 cylinder petrol BMW engines from 2000-now are shit apart from B48 in my opinion.

Hope you'll get it fixed! Personally I'm not a huge fan of those 4 bangers, they never seem to run smooth :/ Anyways. I really enjoy your videos. Top quality content!

Just to be sure: compression and leakdown test? Great content 👍

about misfires please check injectors (NGK not Bosch!)and ignition coils can be worn out so i would replace them (bosch)and last thing is leaking injector - make sure they dont leak. And dont forget to delete adaptations and learn new adaptations its very important for this engine i fixed missfires by doing it 2yrs ago. (read more on bimmerprofs) i have similar problem engine misfire on idle but its so rare that i will fix it in summer :) about oil pressure may be just faulty sensor as it read 1bar and you measured 1.5-2bar, also oil solenoid whish regulate oil pressure can be blocked so it dont work properly. about flex pipe rusted out - it was same problem for me and fixed it same as you. Thank you so much for this content i would replace membrane too in summer just preventive. what glue did you use please? did you check it for leak?

Just replace oilpressure sensor and the oil pressure regulator magnet valve! That should fix it..

I agree with zEDo1. Audi has had tons of issues with Bosch direct injectors leaking, getting plugged with carbon, etc. The oil pressure could just be a faulty pressure switch. I know on VW, oil starts to leak in to them and it ruins the sensor. I was very surprised to see an NOx sensor on a gas engine. Not sure if that’s just a European thing or what. 😂 Also a nice bit of reasoning with the exhaust leak and the misfire. I’ve several VW/Audi V6s and V8s with leaking flex joints and they would run like garbage.

arff too many job for no problem finally! like other comment, change oil pressure sensor and oil level sensor ( i forgot if you change it in rebuild), the gauge is a good test youve have a great idea :) you can run with this gauge in differnt condition for a moment and you see how its run, its good no problem change oil, maybe see if an other grade can be usuable on this motor, many problem on M Model by the grade... a++

Only hard work man SIK SIK SIK

Håller tummarna att det går bra!!!

very interesting

If this is n53 engine they are notorious for leaking injectors which give poor startup after leaving over night, lumpy idle or not sensor. Read on bimmerprofs, they have all the same issues as the n53 engine.

Regarding the misfire; Are the injectors coded properly? Did you perform adaptations? Are the injectors even working properly?

Hi, ( sorry if the translation is not perfect ) If it helps here are my tips, for the idling problem, try doing a leak test with smoke to see if there is not a leak somewhere. ( Valve cover or intake...) And for the oil pressure use 5w40 or 5w50 or even 10w60 and the problem will be solved in any case for me it helped me. You're video its great keep it up ✌️

hope you go old school and restore an e30 in future

Did the exhaust made strange ticking noises before replacing the flex pipe ? Mine does that uphill im not shure if it is the flex pipe.. thanks

Please keep us updated if you find the culprit.

Love your content🤌🤌

Great video! Can I ask what the degrees turn is after torque setting?

As a fellow n43 owner, I suspect that most likely the misfire is caused by faulty injectors. They are VERY sensitive, basically the only injectors which are reliable are the latest index 11 and even those can be faulted out by broken ccv, broken o2 etc. if left unfixed.

do you have a code for the misfire?

Did you check the injector's? those are an weak point in this engine. check if they are the same index, and check by ista if the correct injector numbers are filled in.

Great videos you have🤞 Where do you get all the info about torque specs?

Great work dude, I'm sure you'll get it worked out.

vet ikke om det kan ha noe å gjøre med saken men når jeg hadde 320en så fikk jeg også missfire pga nox sensoren da

The ac compressor bracket is in the way for undoing the front oil pan bolts.. any suggestions? Thanks

Where did you get the membrane and new cover from ? Thanks

as a 235k kms n43 owner. i use to have oil light when stoping at idle right after freeway. i clean and shake a lot the oil valve beside the alternator and switch to 5w40 and no more oil pressure light. in your case, the engine is fully rebuilt that’s strange 😔 where the gauge was, is it just after the oil pump right ? that’s mean even a brand new b16 oil bump wouldn’t give more than 2bar at idling ?!

If the car has over 200.000 km, upstream o2 sensors must be the problem for the missfire.

so what was the problem?

So did you don’t have to lose the steering column? What about coolant pipes on the front axle? Thanks

hey

A bit click-baity title there, but still a good watch. Lycka till!

Transfer everything from 335i in there ;)

If you dont want it i can buy it for cheap :) I can come pick it up tomorrow as is for the right price ;)

NAAH you forgot to show where you lift the car AGAIN 😭

Call Sreten

put that car under press and buy normal car, like e39 and e46
