Yes. Old type m12 charger. Doesn't always work but it is worth the try. Worked for many people so far

I have rebuilt the gearbox recently and will show the whole process on the channel. I have also managed to buy an original gearbox dipstick from a closing down dealership and will show the exact process for checking the oil lever and exact quantity from dry and wet fill. Hope this will help many people out there

thank you so much! I'm having trouble engaging first gear and I have to press the clutch 2 times. From what I have been able to verify, it seems that I have a small fluid leak in the pedal master cylinder. I have to look for a DIY to change it and by the way I wanted to take advantage of changing the gearbox oil. Greetings

@@macaffisSpeak soon🤝🏻

Check on realoem.com or on Febi bilstein parts finder. Just google it🤝

Yes. Very easy. Didn't need to use a sliding hammer. I think the shaft is tapered so it comes off very easy but I had replaced them 4 years ago so that definitely helped

@@TheKeenMechanic your right they just slipped off .thanks

@@bc-mr1si you are welcome🤝🏻

Spot on🤝

There is a locking pin that goes on the right side of the engine. It is an internal torx bolt between the oil filter and the clutch area. Hope this helps. You can also use an impact gun

You have to lower the engine buddy. Thanks

Thank you

Hi and thanks for your message. I am based in Northern Ireland

@@beastbody5848 I thought that. I get contected about the same thing by a lot of people and most are based in GB, I am sure you will find someone closer to you who would do a great job🤝

Silicone grease🤝

@@TheKeenMechanic Thank you .. Any special one? I hear you were using some sort of spray. The only ones I find here are in tubes.

@@solstice666 Any type of silicone grease would be ok. 🤝

100% Agree

The main dealer will charge probably about £2000 without any cleaning. MB Specialist might charge a bit less. Why not buy some tools and do it yourself whilst following my step by step tutorial🙂

@@TheKeenMechanic due to my phisical limitation I can just about change a wheel 😬.

Install a new one or ask somebody who specialises in BMW prigramming to turn off the software.

Thanks for watching. Not a difficult job

Read other comments. Some people shared dealers quote near £2000 without cleaning the intake and ports

Thanks

Hi Don't ask me how I know the transmission pipes to the cooler cost nearly £300

@@TheKeenMechanic HAHAHAHAHA!! I know better than to ask brother. I've broken enough stuff to know an ounce of prevention is definitely worth 300 GBPs of cure.

Some people report that the fake one worked but they used it fot less risky jobs.

Sorry, didn't fully understand your comment. The trans in this car is 8hp70

@@TheKeenMechanic Well than it's even heavyer, I removed my 8HP45 twice and even with a transmission jack and a second person that's really hard.

@@Plermpel Oh I understand now. I had to weld the tall stands and the small lifting table especially for this type of jobs as I work on my own, I don't want to get injured or cause damage to the cars. Where there is a will there is a way😁

Was it a BMW or a different engine in your case?

@@TheKeenMechanic It was a Volvo V50 2.0

Hi You can write here, we do this so the conversation is recorded and help others

@@TheKeenMechanic thank you! So my bmw e38 740i (m62 non vanos) runs well ans seems strong, but sometimes, when i accelerating i get a sudden lack of power, for about one second, and i have noticed that when the car is warm and the visco fan turns on the car lower the revs, and go back to normal ( i don't know if it is normal) but the big problem is this sudden gap of power :( . I have changed, all spark plugs, fuel pump, all filters, clean the tank, maf clean, water pump and hoses, trans position sensor and zf rebuild kit (works good), can be the injectors? I also noticed some crack under the maf band in the big air intake hose, but i haven't any idea :(

You have already checked a lot of things. Consider some of these as they may help you find the problem: Replace fuel filter, I changed one on an E39 and was a 21 year old filter that was on the car from day 1. Could be fuel injectors as you suspect, ultrasonic clean or replace. Mass air flow sensor - clean or replace if faulty Air filter - replace if not done already Could be a vacuum leak. Use a smoke machine as I found a leak on my 740i a few years ago ob the back of the PCV or CCV valve Could be throttle body, O2 sensors, or a transmission issue. Hope this helps

@@TheKeenMechanic Hi my friend!!! Thank you very much:))) . So i have replaced my fuel filter and air filter (i have a bmc like k&n i don't know if it is good on those cars) but i have noticed a thing, now i have rough idle especially when i do cold starts, and today morning with a normal external temperature about 20° the car runs good, but seems runs bad on hot days like yesterday, about 30°, i have cleaned the maf, but i have heard in those cars, the maf fails and need the replace, is this for you? I have also heard about bad cats, but i don't know, cause i only had one sudden lack of power in a daily ride (30km) it is the maf?? Thank you for your time!! :)

All came out easy enough for me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤝🏻

Full engine rebuild and gearbox rebuild will be uploaded this summer. Many thanks for watching🤝🏻

Probably best to find a good flat place, if you know someone with a car lift or a pit will be much easier and safer🤝🏻

There are some changes over the years. Early models like mine have the big air filter, the newer models have made some small changes to the N57 and air filter housing is one of these changes. Thanks for watching

Hi and thanks for leaving your feedback and opinion. The intake ports were taped up so nothing can get in. The valley was also vacuum cleaned too. I am sorry you didn't give the rest of the video a go as I used mostly hand tools to clean the valley to valley pan surface. I used the dremel to detail around the contact surfaces and soft brass brushes were used not to damage the surface. I actually developed e new way to seal the valley pan. I used a grinder to grind down the original valley pan gasket stops and used a paper/rubber Ajusa gasket from the Ajusa M60 M62 full engine kit. I show this in the other videos. I did this 7 years ago, I am running standard 105° C thermostat and use the car as a daily driver. So far after 7 years there have been no issues. Best of luck and hope you give the rest a chance some day🤝🏻

Yes, very poor design. Thanks for watching and for sharing🤝🏻

Hi I have answered this question in the comments before. Yes, it can be done without removing the axle🤝🏻

I have been using them over 10 years and haven't found better quality parts at these prices

@@TheKeenMechaniceven febi (guibo) OEM with bmw logo scraped off…loveing e39 background 👍

@@Quick2004 Yes, they make the guibo still in Germany. I have a video on it too. By the way the silver BMW is 740i E38 which I have been driving as a daily car for years but the fuel tank is badly rusted so I just stopped driving it last week as I will be restoring the tank and whole rear axle. Now driving a lovely Msport 530i E39 Touring. Much lighter, sportier and easier on fuel than the E38

@@TheKeenMechanicwhat she like on petrol ?

@@Quick2004 so far I am getting close to 30mpg on a 10mile run. On longer journeys close to 35mpg. Not bad for a trouble free bullet proof M54

Hi mate. I don't sell these, I have a link in the description for the website where I buy them from. I had to buy they myself. If you use my code KM22 you wil get 22% off. Many thanks for watching

Thank you so much for the nice comment. I am so glad to hear people are really enjoying my videos. I hope it helps you with your repairs. I have a lot of detailed step by step videos on most common jobs on the F10 F11 chasis with the N57 N47 engine

You can replace conrod and main bearings on most engines. N57 is known for wearing these and spinning them if not done on time. On this occasion the owner did not want these replaced but would have been a good opportunity to do it when the engine was out and sump was off

Most of the ones I have seen have 2. Some are made of Aluminium some rubber. Depends on the model

Hi You can try and follow the pattern shown for the n57 and do it in a similar way or follow my link and purchase car manuals for your model. It is money well spent if you are planning to keep the car and work on it yourself🤝🏻

@@TheKeenMechanic I have ista+ but dosnt show the pattern for n47

@@igortanyarascovschi1225 Try and use the same pattern as mine, make sure you don't overtorque the bolts

It will be a bit more difficult with the intake in place but not impossible. I would recommend to remove the intake and clean it and also clean the valves. Egr valve on these engines covers the intake ports and valves with soot in less than 10k miles. Don't ask me how I know 😁

@@TheKeenMechanic thanks for your reply. I do want to clean the intake manifold as my car is almost at 120k miles but cannot find anyone who I can trust to walnut blast the valves unless anyone has a recommendation in and around London.

@@TheKeenMechanic when removing the oil filter housing, what is the best method to drain the coolant to prevent any coolant getting into the engine. The N57 2013 LCI does not have a coolant drain. Thank you in advance.

@@MeryemKupeli-cz2jf You can do a good job with Mr.Muscle oven cleaner and brake cleaner. Check out my video. I bought a walnut blaster but to be honest if you are not in a big hurry you can close valves, fill up ports with oven cleaner and may have to repeat twice. They will be as good as new. The benefit of the wallnut shells cleaning as you can clean the ports straight away. However for your intake manifold you will not be able to clean with walnut sheels.

@@MeryemKupeli-cz2jf I have videos both on draining the coolant and on cleaning ports and intake manifold🤝🏻

Thanks for watching and for your feedback🤝🏻

Thanks for watching and for leaving a nice comment

I think you can risk it. I have done it on my E38 740i twice without the software. Put your hand on the transmission sump and when it starts to feel too warm to touch would be about right. Do this at your own risk of course 😉

@@TheKeenMechanicthx!

I can only assume it is coming from arm bushings or shocks. Best of luck but it is impossible to tell someone when not looking at the car🤝🏻
