Great DYI video however I replaced it on my G31 2018 Touring and now the top active grill flaps are working the other way around, closed when driving and open when parked/ignition off. Any way to reset this behaviour to default? One note to make is that when I disconnected the old motor actuator the flaps went to closed position and wouldn't let me twist them to open. Any help/guidance greatly appreciated. Tnx

Hello, nice video, thanks for sharing! One thing occurred me, you drained 6 l out and filled 6,8 l up. It means that you had an oil shortage all the time before the exchange? As you said the DCT is very sensitive of oil level then this situation could have cause some issue? What is your opinion? Thanks
@bobmac1970Ай бұрын
I attributed 0,3-0,5 liters to the heavy soaked filters I pulled out. Even for the DCT's there is a tolerance for fluid. I'm guessing that +/- 0.5 liters of completely full level won't cause issues. I think by doing the ISTA adaptation, the levels allowed for a little more accuracy. If you want to see what difference 0.5l makes, with the pan off, put some fluid in the pan (level surface), note where the level is, then add 0.5l. You'll barely see a rise in level as the pan is so spread out.
@richardbielicky3603Ай бұрын
@@bobmac1970 Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have ISTA, I will have to operate very exactly with the oil amount. Only chance for me is to fill the same amount as is drained out. There is another problem concerning the lines and the front oil cooler. Why didnt you disconnect the lines in the front and didnt let all the oil drained? Thanks
@bobmac1970Ай бұрын
@@richardbielicky3603 You can definately get a few extra mL's out by also draining the cooler. When you are done, and think you have the level right, cycle thru D and R, then re-check. That may allow a little extra fluid.
@richardbielicky3603Ай бұрын
@@bobmac1970 thanks for your reply, I have never exchanged the DCT oil yet but my expectation is about 1,5 l. I speak about M4 (F82) which has the same DCT and similar oil circuit like your M5. I have a different doubt, If I open the hoses some air gets inside and I dont know if the DCT itself is able to press the air out. If not then it can cause some future problems in DCT operation. Do you have any experience with this situation? Thanks Richard
@bobmac1970Ай бұрын
@@richardbielicky3603 I hope you're talking about 1.5 l from the cooler. Don't worry about air. The transmission will push the fluid thru. I hope you are doing this on a lift...without, I would not recommend, as you'll be checking the level while the car is running. I'm not sure how tight the clearance for the side filter is on the F82.

It does sound like a transmission issue. The shop should read out what transmission codes they are getting. It could be something as relatively simple as a stuck or non-functioning solenoid. Good choice to get a second opinion!

Simple as that, it was def an accident that wasn’t insured, probably a stolen vehicle taken to a “takeover” and lightly damaged and abandoned but not totaled. Some dealership saw it, had the parts or funds to dump into it and then try to resell like it’s never been in an accident 😢, what a shame to disgrace a beast of a machine. People need to have more respect for these machines.
