Hands down best video to learn how to replace a thermostat. No shaky cameras, no dumb ass intro, no side chatting, just straight down to business. Step-by-step guidance was perfect. I watched this video 1 time and learned exactly what to do. I came back to reference a few parts, but it was very well done! Thank you. Took me less than an hour to complete.
Thank you for posting the video, your steps are very clear and helpful, i changed the thermostat in my daughters 2013 bmw with no problems following your steps, thank for taking the time, of all the videos i watched yours is the the most clear and comprehensive and easy to follow too.
thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, all the steps are really clear. I'm gonna be doing this tomorrow on a 2014 with exactly the same engine, kudos
@@honestscentz9300 Actually I decided to replace it because the radiator fan failed (just didnt work anymore) and I was having a hard time bleeding the air out of the system, so I thought it was time for the the thermostat too. As to the mileage , it only had 50k . And letting everybody know at 40k miles the alternator had failed and oil leak from the engine oil cooler gaskets too(the one right next to the oil filter) !! Funny thing I have an X3 with exactly same engine and power train with 120k miles and no fails at all,LOL
My x1 is on 3rd thermostat at 33k. Thermostat open circuit on code. This bleeding procedure doesnt work on 2014 x1 28i. I just run engine. There are several tricks to this job not mentioned here.
Thanks you so much! I just changed my car cooling, I should replace the thermostat with cooling at the same time but too late now. Sir could u please send me the link to buy the thermostat. Thank u very much again. Love your video.. very clear! .
Seriously the way to be done. Entire cooling system should be all replaced at the same time. Hoses, plastic flange, coolant, thermostat. What a mess here I'd be pissed if they left a mess without cleaning it up.
You won't be able to drain it below the thermostat housing. Draining the radiator will only reduce the amount of coolant that will come out when you release the thermostat
