Hi, do you know when the fan on the dvd module is kickin in? I looked at it today when i started the car and its not spinning, maybe when it gets too hot, I have no idea?
@straight_to_the_point786910 ай бұрын
Hi, I don't know either, never checked this fan operation, but i think as with any other audio video equipment, there is possibility that it might turn on after the unit gets warm.
@ivaylohristov605810 ай бұрын
Yeah I guess so. One more thing, I swapped the dvd mehanism with another one(different code) and its working fine. So maybe it doesnt matter the code if you are replacing the entire dvd mechanism but its a must to check the model of the laser if you are replacing only the laser inside. If we remove the dvd mehanism, they are all with the same boards and chips, I didnt find any difference. Did you find any?

@@ivaylohristov6058 Yes, with optical pick-up laser/lens i would only use exact correct part number, because there are differences in length and design of wiring and connection locations, therefore connection or wiring might not match. With the complete mechanism replacement i would be careful, mainly because some are used in Mk.3 and some Mk.4 Navi computers and there are some differences.

Yes, I forgot to mention I am talking about only for MK4 complete mehanism swap that it doesnt matter. It only needs to be from another MK4 module.

Congrats for the video. At minute 1:24 you disconnect the vacuum hose from the electric vacuum valve (pink hose). Does that hose start from the electric vacuum valve and where does it end? Where is it connected to the other end? I'm asking you because I have that vacuum hose disconnected and I don't know where it should be connected. Thank you

@@user-ml8lh2kb2i If you have or know somebody who have diagnostic tool like Inpa or similar bmw diagnostic tool, please do check for errors first. If not, i would check for head gasket issues, crack in cylinder head, check if you are loosing oil or coolant, check if coolant or oil is getting mixed, mayo on oil cap etc. If all is ok, i would suggest to replace that vacuum hose first and if everything returns back to normal you are fine. I can't be 100% sure, if this vacuum hose is the cause of this, it could be anything from temp sensor to head gasket etc, but if there is no head gasket issue, and your engine is turning fan after 10min in traffic and temp gauge needle is rising more over the middle there is a chance that vacuum hose causing trouble by not opening blinds and not letting cold air to cool down engine.

Hi Did you need someone underneath the car holding the tyre iron when you were undoing and torquing the bolt? You must look after that engine as you have a lot of new parts ( water pump,alternator,starter motor & now crank pulley👍)
@straight_to_the_point78692 жыл бұрын
Hi, yes, car was sitting on axle stands and also supported on heavy duty 3ton jack, second person held tyre iron until flywheel teeth bite tyre iron, after that, second person came out from under the car and i was able to safely push hard and slacken crankshaft bolt. I am planning to keep this car for a long time so i did replaced all vital parts at once. N47/M57 engines are very good "bullet proof" engines. Also in my opinion E46's looks great and getting slowly rare too. Hope that helps. 👍

You should put Testo on the car and check data logs. Judging from the dyno graph it might be over-boosting. Bad tuners never touch the N75 maps, but request more boost. This causes the N75 to try and create boost by over compensating because it's not getting target boost, and ends up over boosting. You might get a fault code for your map sensor because of this. I was chasing my tail for 3 years because of a bad tune put on my car. Finally learned to tune myself and it's now smooth as butter and pulls very strong.

Hi all 2004 BMW E46 330d changed starter motor yesterday. Fairly straightforward job.. Disconnect battery. Removed engine cover. Removed pollen filter and drip tray. Removed EGR intake 4off sockets headed bolts. Removed injector connectors 6 off and then folded its wiring loom over to nearside engine bay. Remove manifold. Remove 4mm diameter vacuum hoses 3 off Remove glow plug control box but leave plugged in, this gives room for the starter motor to be with drawn use a 3/8 spanner to remove 2 off starter motor fixing bolts (wd40 first) and it's 3 off electrical connections .. starter motor will now come away.. reassemble in opposite order.. you will find a few connectors to disconnect while you do the work but the all come apart and go back easily.. No need to go under car..no need to remove coolant hoses.. no need to remove dipstick..4 hours start to finish..car was labouring on start and running battery down.. it is now back to rights..happy E46ing..

If your Mk4 doesn't eject CD, try to press and hold eject button for 30 seconds, if that doesn't work try to reset navi head unit. If none of above works, there is a chance that CD loading mechanism is stuck or damaged and need replacement of whole CD mechanism which is described in this guide. Hope that helps.
