Ive just been told that i might have a small coolamt leak while it was having a service and oil change. But he wasn't sure where from, said it could have been the expansion tank or the radiator. Its my first car so im pretty new to this stuff. So any advice on how to check foe where my leak might be coming from, would be very much appreciated! Its a bmw 316ti, 2004, if that helps

Its way too low bro you need to set way up higher than that

was thinking of buying a pair, but i hate funny noises. thank you

Mine leaks where your mates did :(

Do I have to pull out the fan to do the water pump ?

great help

I clicked on this video because it was titled "How to remove fan AND SHROUD" and I watched you remove the fan, but not the shroud...and your reasoning is because "it's a pain"...?

You forgot to mention the worst of them all, the 2 plastic pipes underneath the intake manifold. That type of job that will ruin your week and weekend combine - That job that if you ended up taking it to the a reputable shop that will charge you an arm and a leg; $1,800 just the labor itself w/o parts. Yet we haven’t mention the oil filter housing gasket and the list goes on and on 😂

Thank you for this video! Is there a certain type of soldering kit that you need to use to take it off and replace like watts etc?

Got a question what the name of that radar detector?

THANKS - That was useful info.

I saw another video that the guy used a VL2020 3 volt battery he linked to on amazon. I couldn't find an LIR20225. Plenty of CR2025s but they don't have the tabs and are not rechargeable.

No one talking about how cheap it is to buy parts tho 👀👀

The fan clutch nut has left hand threads. Not a trivial detail.

Thank you! This is insane, who makes a key that cannot have it's battery replaced?

The entire coolant system needs replacing!!!

What a great video. Thank You

(Hidden???) Your E46 tips aren't what e46 owners haven't already discovered or were learned upon purchase.... Air time for you on KZbin is!

The second one isn’t a hidden feature.

the last trick was new to me..... thank you.

I’m buying a 2019 740i, and I’m upset that it doesn’t come with the mounts OEM. My 2014 BMW 535xi GT had OEM roof Mount capability which was on a 7 series chassis. You forgot to mention that families on long trips, love the flexibility of having roof storage.

Another hidden feature is the pedal next to the brake in the right. If you press on it the car goes.

These hidden features have another name.... Called Options.

Really bro, a dimmer switch is a hidden feature???

Lol this car is just a money pit I've already replaced many parts it's crazy.

great video, thanks

This video was about your hands 🙌

thanks for this

Your video sucks. Finish it.

Hoses and other stuff under stand but so many parts for these cars now a days no reason yours should fail

You guys should stop using plastic and buy aluminum pump and thermostat housing saves a lot of money and more durable car not poorly made you just need to keep up you shouldn’t own one if you can’t keep up with it

Thank you!!

awesome

Could you put the link in the description of where you ordered the battery? Thanks for the video.

Been there done all that…honestly these cars are just fun to drive when working properly! Parts on bmw’s are designed to fail at certain mileage and in groups so you have to do them together otherwise keep going to shop and yes that generates money for bmw with after service and parts.i have yet to see any other car which needs so many parts! Next i would go for lexus ( reliable bmw replacement)

Very useful video, thanks for posting

Short & to the point…get the 32 mm long clutch nut wrench & the fan pulley bolt offset wrench. I tried to do it without them - it’s a nightmare.

Hey buddy my name is hunter I live in North Carolina I have a e46 add me on Instagram and we can talk about our cars Bc I need someone that knows what there doing you know what I mean, but my ig is E46.hunter

The amount of plastic components on my E39 make me want to commit seppuku 🔪🙋‍♂️

I'm getting a wet fart sound at 1k rpms, any clue, I thought it was a head gasket, nope, thought it was the radiator cap, comes front front driver side.

Great video. I bought my e46 last year and had a leak the other day. SOmeone said it came from the hose near the manifold but not 100% sure. It seems this is a common problem with this cars which makes them a real pain in the ass! I shouldn't have bought one of these cars. They're badly engineered! Can't wait to fix and sell mine.

Peen

I agree, this car would great if it had real parts instead of cheap plastic parts, and I hate how cheap the door lock is, especially when the fob stops working, JUNK BMW!! but I love the car overall

You forgot two real "hidden features" 1 glove box has a flashlight that is plugged in on the upper left side (might have to bend down to see) pulls straight out. 2 there is a first aid kit under the front passenger seat. If it is still in your car it will be a drawer type compartment. If it is not there you can tell by just simply feeling the front bottom of the seat. If it's gone you will feel an obvious indentation where it use to line up.

You’re a god

This car is a extremely poorly made leaking bucket....correction expensive leaking bucket. I made the mistake of buying one. These BMW’s should be classified as toys with the amount of plastic parts they use on the engine...cheaply made plastic parts that cost an arm and a leg! Stay away from these.

I live in Vermont to just got an awd bmw before the storm so thankful for it

Great video bud . you cover all topics

So you didn't change any of the settings at all?

Found the key window open tip really useful, will use!
