What and where are the signs to look to know you have an upper pan leak?

you made that look easy . great work

Thanks for taking the time to show this. So basically you can't see the bolts at all? All by feel right? I've seen people take motor mounts off lift engine and all kinds of stuff but looks like your way is the simpler way adding unbolting p/s pump out of the way. I can't even imagine what would happen if you strip one of those 3 bolts. I would spray clean them before putting a socket on.

Thanks a ton for doing this video! Got the Arnotts and did the job myself in no time thanks to your instructions. And really enjoyed stabbing the old bags with my knife - very therapeutic.

You're lucky it's an x5, the 650i you gotta pick the drivers side up. I love your vids, you cut to the chase and your zoom shots are awesome. Cheers

Thanks for your video; it made the whole process easy to understand. Do I need to do an alignment after finishing?

Great work!!! Only question I have is when you`re installing the Coolant extension pipe and you`re stretching to either end. How do you know you`ve extended it correctly? Does the end bottom out at either end?

Trying to see how to remove the upper bolts holding the transmission to the engine.

Quick question, noticed you didn't apply silicone to the 2 back & 2 front corners of the block that connect to the rear cover & front cover. Did you experience any leak afterwards?

This is not for N47 engine, the crankshaft locking tool is only used on N47 to set high pressure pump, to set crankshaft with camshafts on N47 you must then use flywheel locking pin and camshaft locking tool. i advise people to fit timing tools to there engines before dismanteling them and visualise the position of timing marks. i hope this is clear

You can remove wheel and do it thru there ?

Impressive..you did all that sober😮

Show us how to remove from front prop shaft

What a great and informative video. It certainly makes it look a less daunting prospect to do. I am guessing that these engines are a lot less common in the US than they are here in the UK but by god are they powerful with good BHP and Torque figures. But as metioned by some others here DO NOT GO BY BMW RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS FOR THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE. Leaving this as long as BMW recommend is asking for some big bills once a vehicle gets to about 100k miles. My N57, in my 335D, gets oil and filter service at 10k or less and should be less for a vehicle that does shorter mile journeys.

Do you have any check engine light on after? And any problems passing emissions. By obs2 plug in ... As in monitor readiness

hey bro do you have to drain all the coolant or is it like a valve cover its fine?

What is with f..king KZbin these days,you cant "fast forward" and then play?...f..you KZbin

That's a monumental task for one man to do. Awesomely done! I need to do this on a 2011 f250. Upper oil pan gasket as well. Those upper bellhousing bolts seem very tough to get to

how about the air/ or coolant hose that is connected on the side of the dpf that has 2 bolts you put a block plate or just leave it disconnected with the new downpipe

Brilliant, thank you for sharing!

Woody i messed up. I loved your video and it helped me so so much. But i plugged the engine wiring harness in incorrectly. Do you possibly have a diagram on where each plug goes on the front of the motor coming off the wiring harness?

Great Video! Do you have one for the valve covers? Thanks.

I plan on doing the valve stem seals and upper timing cover gasket and alternator bracket. Would this be a smart idea to go ahead and do this job as well? I have no leaks (visibly) on my 2008 550i V8, which I'm sure it has the n62tu engine on it.

Great video! Thank you!

My dealer just quoted me $4968 to do this

Hello, i have the same problem on my f30 335d, its N57 engine. Did you bought original BMW cranckshaft or a copy? A lot of mechanics told me do not buy a copy :/

Can I ask where you purchased your stand that allowed you to mount the engine sideways so you was able to access the timing side. Thanks

What about that parking linkage you mentioned?

Thanks:)

Chieeeeeeefs!

Before removing the Valvetronic servomotors, you must first initiate the removal procedure using the diagnostic tester. The motor is retracted by several millimeters. If this is not done, there is a great risk of damaging the servomotor or the eccentric shafts. This is very clearly stated in the BMW repair instructions. And to prevent the gasoline from spraying around when the fuel line is disconnected, there is a valve on the injection line of the right cylinder bank. You can blow the fuel out of the line back into the tank with a short blast of compressed air. But all in all a fantastic video. Thanks for the effort.

Thankl you very much chief your video is very informative. And thank you again for putting me off buying one I never knew the timing chain was at the back of the engine. I think that had been designed by a disgruntled kraut who worked at BMW and was ready to leave the company. Also just heard about the front headlights being coded for a specific car WTF.

Had mine replaced 3 times by Ford dealership. Now I have a transmission leak.

Thank you Sir. Do you have a merchandise website where I could purchase items of yours to show support ? Salute.

Next time start where everyone else starts

Could you post part numbers please❤

hello, great job as always. My question is that I see that you did the plastigauge measurement on the new bearings but I've seen other videos where it is done with the old bearings is there a difference or reason why both methods? thanks in advance

Saludos de Perú

Great video thank you

Superman! Thanks from Spain!

If you delete a particulate filter, where do the particles end up going?

Hi does the new module need coding or is it plug and play

Is the valley pan supposed to be full of coolant like that? Or is it only full because of the leak?

What wheels are fitted to the x5?

great info

Can anyone advise on what time the AITV is disconnected in the video? My instruction state to unplug this in addition to EGR plus and vacuum. In particular the location of the AITV plug on a 2017 F250. Thanks

Damn fine video, helped me tremendously! Thank you very much.

For everyone who wants to do the oil change themselves, there is a specific oil fill procedure it needs to be followed. This video shows the easy bits. It is not that simple....

Great video, thank you for uploading... What is the part number for the water pump small O ring and where did you purchase it?
