Nice video as allwsys 😊 But how to replace the inner boot? Do i need to cut the metall casing? Can you do a video on that? Im asking because i have bad vibrations when accelerating in like gear 4 or 5 it is noticed more. Even a clonking sound over bumps and all is replaced but not the left outer cv joint . Can it make this sound ? Shocks are new also

@@360hackern Hi It could be wheel bearings (I have had times where I replaced them and they became noisy after 1000 miles then replaced again and no issues. It can also be noisy gearbox bearings also which is not good. It could also be the driveshaft bearing too. Unlikely to be the driveshaft cv joint but you never know. They normally make clicking noise at full lock or when you turn sharp and accelerate hard. Best of luck

That is one great tutorial. One question: You did not prime the turbo? I guess with the fuel system not vented there was no risk the engine fired straight up, but if it would have, wouldn't that have been the end of the turbo?
@TheKeenMechanic 6 күн бұрын
@@chrissein632 Hi. As the whole fuel system was empty there was no risk of the engine starting for at least 30 seconds to a minute. This allows the engine to build plenty of oil pressure in the whole system. Even if it did start after a few seconds it would be idling and there is still some oil left in the turbo. Oil pressure builds pretty quickly though so don't worry about it🤝🏻

Excellent video. Regarding the chain tension measurement, the TIS diagram shows that the 10mm specification applies to the total deflection - i.e. from the left side of the chain when pressed to the left to the right side of the chain when pressed to the right. It appears in your demonstration that you're measuring the deflection of only the left or right side of the chain, so just clarifying.

@IrieIDam Coolant thermostat starts opening at approximately 88°C. Fully open at 100°C , so you are in the working range. Check your kidney grille flaps in case are closed all the time. On mine are open all the time as the actuator is broken. If the car is regenerating it can go up a bit. If the car is remapped this will have an effect too and may run a bit warmer. You will be best to read the exact temp with a diagnostic tool to be sure. Hope this helps

@@bobtheplayer3885 Very hard to bleed this engine to be honest. If you have a vacuum fill tool use it otherwise fill up and drive until it self bleeds itself.

Nice work! Thumbs up . I have seen that you love febi brands, i think that it is very good brand, as it is very similar to the oem quality and i use them too. As for tools, what brand do you prefer? At the moment I'm using mostly Chinese stuff (the box with 200 pieces for 50 euros) and sometimes some tools get ruined especially with high tightening. I would like something with a good compromise between quality and price. Can you give me some advice?
@TheKeenMechanic 21 күн бұрын
@@Tonino-r6p I love Febi and Blueprint parts, as you mentioned they are OE matching which means OE quality at a fraction of the cost. I think more and more people are realising that about Febi. Regarding tools I have such a mixture of tools that I have accquired over the past 15-20 years. I have a few Snap on but I find they are extremely expensive and not worth the investment as other brands are just as good and much cheaper. I have Facom, Britool, Expert (was Britool before-now called Expert, I think Facom own them as well) I have some Bluepoint (made by Snap on but cheaper) Most of my Torque wrenches are Norbar and a few made by Wurth. I have a few sets of Premier and a lot of Bergen tools. Really when looking for tools just make sure they are CR-V or CR-Mo and you will have very little issues. Consider buying impact rated tools as when used with ratchets and even long extensions they are much stronger. When it comes to Power tools my most favourite brand is Milwaukee, I have a lot of Festool but they are mostly woodworking and extremely expensive.

Good to see you back again, could you perhaps guide me here? My high mileage N55 has a fair amount of buildup of what seems like sludge on the springs in the engine, I saw this once I removed the Cylinder Head Cover. I carefully removed as much as I could with a vacume. What is your best recommendation to flush out the engine? I'm scared to use engine flush. I was thinking of draining the current oil then refilling it with some cheap 5W-30, run if for 100-200km and then drain that and refill with original BMW oil again. Is that good enough?

Hi this is the only way I would do it. Just use the cheapest oli and run for a few hundred miles. Drain, change oil filter and do this as many times as you can afford.

With no radiator drain plug and Nightmare to access lower radiator hose and no electric water pump bleed functionon 3.0 diesel. I had to flush system by using expansion tank return into bucket and continuously filling expansion tank with hose. When coolant is running clear and system is clean, refill system with deionized water and g48 coolant 50/50 mix. This was all done with the engine running. The hard part was keeping coolant temperature up so thermostat stayed open, every so often you will need Reinstatement expansion tank return hose and run car to full temp and start again. This method also helps stop air getting into system so no need to bleed .
