Hi, any chance you could do a coolant bleed procedure on the N46 engine? It's impossible to find one anywhere.

[@ger-lz4mj]

How's things I've 2011 f10 520 d , I'm having to top coolant up regularly, but can't find any leaks. The temperature seems to be fine I'm puzzled , any help would be great

Same problem in my car! Hard to find it oooooh

[@the_retired_mechanic]

Nice easy fix but you wouldn't want to do it twice because of labour stripping that lot out if you had fitted a cheap aftermarket part that also failed in a short time. I'd have gone bmw genuine for that one

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

2 year warranty through our parts supplier on this one (we have to have that with all new parts fitted) I recommended everyone to choose what suits them, not a costly part so very affordable no matter what choice you go with. Genuine seal may be a possibility too 🤔 Thanks for watching 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@youtubedeletesmychannels2329]

@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage can you get a metal replacement part. I’m thinking of getting a 2006 bmw 330 for 7k

[@chrishartle1326]

Mine has a leak but the puddle on the floor is at the front of my engine, does this leak drip down to the front or would this cause a drip on the rear of engine? Cheers

[@chrishartle1326]

@Maffyy I used a bottle of k seal in the end and it seems to have worked

[@WayToManyAssassins]

​@@chrishartle1326 Did the K seal clog anything up? Heater still works fine?
