Bmw e60/61 530d M57 engine Thermostat replaced! How to!

[@ravenfin1916]

Thanks. That the last 1:30 would have saved me a lot of effort in the past.

[@Torcalie]

Your a legend mate, gonna attempt this soon. you made it looks easy

[@mariusceson4864]

It ain't that easy, takes more time than effort tbh

[@henning.350]

Very helpful thanks a lot man! Unfortunatly I had to change both Thermostats

[@jezwinters1574]

Fantastic video thanks v much. Can you pls confirm the socket size required for the egr cooler to remove the bolts tucked away at the back left side please?

[@WarpDriveM]

I think you refer to the 2 bolts to the exhaust manifold, are torx T45

[@soundseeker63]

I am going to try this as my 330d is taking ages to warm up even on hot days. It smokes a lot too and the MPG is not very good. Seems to be running rich all the time, I hope this will fix it!

[@vatrica1]

Did you do it, any mpg improvement?

[@soundseeker63]

@@vatrica1 yes about 5-6mpg more

[@kevinohagan963]

[@soundseeker63]

@@kevinohagan963 No that was a boost leak. Thermostats did improve the warmup and MPG though.

[@terrybooya6132]

Hi, I will be doing this Once again to the 330d once it warms up! Just a question.. I see the picture of the two different Stat’s that you got send one being the wrong item. From the two photos you can tell that the bolt holes don’t line up the same. I have my new thermostat and to me it looks smaller than I remember .. is the 520d difference to the 530/535d thermostat .. As I really don’t want it to be the wrong item when I’ve started the job. Thanks

[@WarpDriveM]

Yes the Thermostat is different from 2l to 3l but not on all the models. Check it on realoem.com put your vin nr and you can see the part nr for your car

[@davitiellulkhutsishvili3017]

Is makes automatic bidding? Or you need to do it ?

[@CRanch__198]

whats the coolant bleeding process like on this car? do they have air bleed vavles and do i just have to fill it let the car get to temp then check it or do they have electric water pumps?

[@WarpDriveM]

leave it running with the cap off from the expansion tank, heater on, and after you see that water is coming on the expansion tank without air put coolant to the max level put cap on wait for the fan to kik in and you are set. After a drive let it cool down completely and check the level.

[@adamgs450h8]

My EGR is taken out of the car but the coolant temp doesn't go about 60c I'm going to change engine thermostat but the gearbox also has one.

Salut.care este temperatura optimă la bmw e60 525d?Am montat pompa noua de apă,termostate noi originale și în mers stă apa la 98/99°!Am aerisit,radiatoare curate,este normal?

[@WarpDriveM]

Salut, Thermostat-ul lucrează la 88- 87°C dar este normal sa depășească. Dacă în cazul tău tot timpul e la peste 98°C trebuie sa verifici etrierele de frână. S-ar putea sa ai o roata infranata și motorul e tot timpul în sarcina. Verifica temperatura cu un scanner sa confirmi.

Very helpful. Thx

[@elyaszoubi4415]

thanks for the video! How about coolant bleeding? do we need to do bleeding for a diesel engine? please advise.

[@WarpDriveM]

Since you don't have to drain the hole coolant you can top it off, let the car reach the operating temp, and release the air by undoing the breather screw or remove the water tank cap (slowly!!!). Every car needs to be bleed (gas or diesel) but diesel engines are most of the time very easy too bleed just by removing the cap a few times after a drive

[@cristoie1]

salutare. am si eu un e65 730 d din 2006, apa urca foarte greu, si nu depaseste 77 grade. am inteles ca trebuie schimbat si thermostatul de la cutia de viteze. ce sfat imi dai

[@doominic1882]

Do i need to worry about the egr thermostat if i did the egr delete? Symptoms are Car struggles to warm up and bad mpg

[@adamwest1138]

Yeah , thermostat still operates , as there's still water going through it. Did you get the ECU flashed after doing the delete, if you didn't it won't run a different regen and you'll kill the difference, causing the symptoms you have

[@mrorvingal2769]

My e60 530d runs at roughly 80°C or below in highway. Takes close to 30 minutes to reach above 80°C. But in congested city traffic it goes up to 96°C when standstill. When car starts running again, it reaches back to 88°C. What could be reason? Thank you.

[@WarpDriveM]

It sounds like a bad Thermostat

[@mrorvingal2769]

@@WarpDriveM Thank you. Both thermostats?

[@WarpDriveM]

Egr Thermostat works at 70°C and engine Thermostat at 88°C. Your problem seems to be the engine Thermostat.

[@callumbaker3957]

My coolant temp is below 60degrees Which thermostat should i change as hot air does not blow out properly?

[@WarpDriveM]

That shoud be the engine Thermostat near the water pump. The egr Thermostat will not allow the dpf to properly regenerate but won't affect the hot air in the cabin

[@callumbaker3957]

@@WarpDriveM will i need to bleed the radiator to change the engine thermostat? Thanks in advance

[@WarpDriveM]

On diesel engine is very simple, fill up the expansion tank to max, drive the car till reaches the temp, remove the cap (very slow because of the pressure) and poor again till is at the level. The max level must shown with the cold engine
