Outstanding video, appreciate the excellent viewing angles. Please keep making videos.

How about adding a part 2 of how to bleed the air out of the system after replacing the expansion tank and adding coolant?

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Thank you for the suggestion. I sold the car a long time ago.

It's with the screw on the upper radiator hose

Hello, great Video, is there only one thermostat? Thank you

[@mrOnlinePolice]

This is a transmission cooler thermostat. Engine thermostat is in a different location

[@Resq28]

@@mrOnlinePolice Yes, I just found that out, thank you very much for the reply.

Good morning. My bmw 2004 x3 2.5i has that same problem what is the part number for the two damage parts the tank and broken thermostat and where to purchase . You are a great help many manty thanks. Hoping to hear from you

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Hello. Vehicle in this video is a 3.0 engine. Idk if there is part number difference between yours and mine. However, I would call you local dealer and ask. Also, I bought my parts on ebay, ads usually specify what engines/vehicles it fits. You could also try www.rockauto.com There you can shop by specific vehicle and many choices

I don’t think that’s the thermostat but I do need to find out what piece it is exactly

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Well, it's called a thermostat.

Спасибо! Наконец-то поняли как сдергивать бачок. Прикипел так, что пришлось вдвоем тянуть)

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Пожалуйста. Успехов в ремонте.

I don’t understand the thermostat part because mine doesn’t go all the way flush

[@jemerrionjacobs5614]

I couldn’t get the thermostat that broken the pieces out any tips?

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Are they stuck or just too small?

[@Gymrat_1]

In my BMW X3 extension tank there is no liquid. What should I do? What liquid does it needs or do i have to replace it?

[@mrOnlinePolice]

I am not a mechanic, so I would advise to use only OEM coolant. I think if your fluid is dirty, only then change it.

Do iridium spark plugs work on a 3.0i x5 e53 engine

[@mrOnlinePolice]

I dont know. I usually go with what the manufacturer says it takes

[@phillipshanerikapompey5019]

Temperature gage still rising to half way

[@mrOnlinePolice]

What do you mean?

[@spacekcw4269]

I have own a few North American domestic ,a Toyota and Acura driven them over 100,000 and never have to replace Coolant overflow tank. My BMW X3 needed this replacement at 72,000 km. Talk about reliable parts , not in a BMW

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Word. This is nylon. Supposedly very strong. May be if it had some flexibility, it wouldn't crack.

System pressure testing was not applied! Uh!

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Good point. 👍

[@davidpadilla528]

you could fix that skid plate with a plastic welder from Harbor Freight, maybe even fixed the tank

[@mrOnlinePolice]

Thank you. I handed this off to the next owner.
