@@dznqbit it's a bit above my IQ level, so i probably got tha trick from E30 Zone or another KZbin video! 😄

[@traceysuarez]

You are awesome man, amazing work with out proper tool, my hat off to you. Well Done!

[@nread1135]

The best walkthrough I’ve seen. So clear and easy to follow. Cheers!

[@PorchGarage]

Thank you!

[@gerenshaya9379]

Hi perhaps you should starts the engine first to see whether it can starts and also show if the water pump got any leaks , we really would like to hear how the engine sound after repair. 😄

You did a great job he deserves respect I am Mohammed from Jordan I want to change the timing belt but i want you Mark for camshaft and crank if possible Thank you

[@PorchGarage]

Thank you! Position of the camshaft is at 7:24, crankshaft should be in the correct position already - if you i guess you can rotate it until the locking notch lines up with the locking hole (7:53).

There are two screw threads on either side of the waterpump. Insert two m6 and push out the w pump

[@PorchGarage]

Tried it. The screw threads are in 2 ears molded with the water pump casing. As they are drilled into the thin ears, the ears break instead of pushing out the pump. Maybe it works if the pump is not stuck to begin with.

Hello bro Good day, is there any way i can reach you personally? would like to ask few question regarding E30 ignition coils. Ariff Alor Setar

[@relay634]

Ur a god bro

[@selespeed3]

wow good job TJ. would it be okay if i ask you to do the belt replacement of my car? the video you made is so thorough and professional.

[@PorchGarage]

Thanks for the compliment. I don't perform such services. Perhaps you can send it to a workshop for DIY it.

[@selespeed3]

@@PorchGarage i dont really know any bmw shops. but you are such a fantastic guy to fix things. saw many of your videos. i am sold!

[@hafizh5786]

can i change the timing belt without removing the waterpump?

[@PorchGarage]

Hi! I'm not sure if you can do that. The top half of the timing belt cover can be removed without removing the water pump, so if there isi sufficient space between the gears and the cover, i guess you could slip off the timing belt and remove it - without removing the water pump.

[@PorchGarage]

Oh, sorry, I took another look at my video. Looks like all the covers around the water pump can be removed without first removing the water pump. You can see it at 4:57 in the video. So it looks like you should be able to change the timing belt without removing the water pump 😊

[@hafizh5786]

​@@PorchGarage yeah I've seen it, I just want to make sure. thankyou so much. thank god youre awesome

[@EweJinTee]

Great video TJ! Subscribed! Mind to share what's a good resource to buy parts for M40? I'm from Penang!

[@PorchGarage]

I get my parts from Inner Power Auto - you can find them on shopee. Not all they're parts are on Shopee, better to chat with them

[@EweJinTee]

@@PorchGarage Thank you! Keep up the good work! Just got an E30 and keen to DIY but I've got lots of tools to buy before the operation
