BMW Swirl Flaps Upgrade / Replacement & How i did it | E90 320D M47 engine (2.0 diesel)

[@RuRaLii]

Perfect. Professional decision. Sunt de aceeași părere ca și tine. Și eu am comandat aceleași clapete tot de la redsolution, și aștept să le schimb și eu. Face toți banii acest video, deoarece nu e greu de schimbat. Datorită ție le voi schimba și eu singur. Mulțumesc frumos 👍🏻

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

Să-ți spun sincer m-au speriat discuțiile despre ce se poate intampla cu cele originale dar nu am văzut nici o urma de uzură sau deteriorare cand le-am schimbat. Erau imaculate și bine făcute și cele originale. Nit-urile greu de distrus. Șuruburi nituite la capăt. Nu cred ca sunt supuse la niciun stres asa mare incat sa cedeze. Cine stie cine a pornit ideea dar ...anyways...le-am schimbat acum dar nu stiu daca-i asa necesar. Asa de liniste sufleteasca. Am adresat mai multe aspecte cu aceeași ocazie.

[@n1ck72]

@@FlyHighWavesSounds O intrebare. Aceste clapete nu au riscul sa se rupa ele, nu?

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

Nu prea...sunt făcute dintr-o bucata la propriu. Celelalte au o tija placutele nituite dar eu zic sa nu le schimbi. Erau perfecte a mele la peste 100.000km si m-am chinuit sa le rup...Nu știu exact la ce model a fost o problema dar nu cred ca ii clara treaba. Eu le-am schimbat pentru ca am făcut tot felul de upgrade-uri si am schimbat tot ce era de schimbat preventiv. a pornit de la starter si trebuind sa dau jos partea de sus am facut-o pentru ca oricum masina sta nefolosita pentru ca sunt in UK. A fost o vara in care am lucrat la masina ...De la filtre la curea, separator de ulei, aceste clapete și curățat intake-ul si catalizatorul , ...tot...ve se putea...Anyways... eu zic ca nu trebuie dar daca vrei ca "upgrade" do it man!

@@FlyHighWavesSounds Chestia e ca vreau sa-mi iau un e60, ador cum arata masina dar mereu m-am ferit de bmw-uri pt ca li s-a dus reputatia ca-s stricacioase si bagi carute de bani in ele. Ei si am zis sa fac upgrade de la 1.9 dci la ceva mai potent si fiabil pentru ca deja am 300k la bord. Singurele optiuni fiabile pe care as merge ar fi 2.2 honda sau 3.0 m57 (oriunde am cautat motoare fiabile a aparut asta). M-am tot documentat si cautat si am zis ok. Hai ca merg pe bmw ca totusi imbin un motor potent si fiabil cu o caroserie care-mi place. Am gasit un model cu unic proprietar cu 191xxx km si am zis ca mai bine dau pe un bmw vechi dar intretinut peste pretul pietei, bani la care as putea lua o honda 2.2 cu km putini. Chestia e ca trb sa aflu daca proprietarul a avut probleme cu clapetele si daca nu a avut, le dau jos. Oricum masina e e3, motorul de fonta care din ce-am inteles ar fi ceva mai rezistent decat cel de aluminiu. (da-mi un sfat daca stii mai bine).

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

Inca nu am auzit de masina care nu se strica. Fiecare are problemele ei. Preventiv am schimbat si eu ce am văzut pe net ca apare plus ca era momentul pentru overall service time. Starter-ul, uleiuri, filtru de motorina, aer, uleiul in cutia de transmisie schimbat, separator de ulei, inchizatorile din fața le-am reparat, spălat si curățat de depozite, EGR curat bec si deasemenea radiatorul de la EGR, cureaua de transmisie care sta puțin cam aiurea pentru ca de obicei se schimba si rolele. Am reconditionat a doua oară scaunele de piele la care am si un video. Trebuie din cand in cand cate o revizie daca ești pretențios dar facand totul cu mana mea si cu pasiune n-am cheltuit prea mult. Plus un set Michelin de tyres. Cred ca sub 500 am cheltuit. Nu-s specialist dar imi place sa fac chestii pentru mine si cu pasiune si atenție trebuie pus ceva timp in orice. Dacă uleiul ii schimbat mai repede decat trebuie si overall toate merg ok trebuie sa tina de obicei. Majoritatea cu probleme is de la cei ce nu au avut grija. Absolut tot ce am a avut nevoie de ceva reparație. Ma refer la orice...toate se strica pana la urma mai repede sau mai tarziu.

i have the N47, but man, what a superb work and video, pure Tech porn right here. subbed

[@federicoegido4811]

Good video and for sure, the best solution (better than remove them). I own a car with this engine. Where can I find this kit? Almost all in the internet is for removing them...

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

It is on the video in the end where i show the invoice and the cost and there is the website. I ordered them online.

[@bkktony]

Great video thanks

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

With pleasure. Thanks for reaching out with your appreciation.

[@VisionOfMind]

Hello ! Just found your video. Mine should be in good condition but I plan on removing the intake just to see if they have started to go bad. And since I would be doing this job why not upgrade to these. Do you still own the car ? How many km since you did the job and everything is still fine ?

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

I have the car and still going on. I have not been driving much lately. I changed mine on 100k miles and the original where perfect. Not sure it is a problem with my model but I did it like you said to be sure since the plan was to clean everything.

[@vladiangelov7146]

had problems with the new flaps. 

[@ChrisKsan]

How BMW SHOULD have designed these from the get go! But they failed with the early plastic units and failed again with the metal ones... That being said, what's the orange looking grease you used? Is that cupper based vaseline? Why using that on plastic and rubber parts? I thought it was suited for hard surfaces, metal on metal. Just curious...

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

Do you have the experience with these flaps failing? I found mine before replacing in pristine condition. I think is a bit of an overreacting overall. I don't think people should be that scared about these failing that often. My examination concluded that are quite well built. At least mine where. Repacing them I had to remove the rivets from the installed ones to take them out and was not that easy. I don't think there are so much stress placed on them to fail that easy. Anyways...to answer your question is copper grease that is made for high temperature. The same used for injectors.

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

@friskky1853 Please explain....

[@maucina12]

Is there a way to find out if they were already removed by previous owners?

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

Only if they are not the original ones. For this you need to get in. In my case since i wanted to do a cleaning i addressed multiple things at once. Thanks for reaching out with your question.

[@atiq982982]

It mentions the 320d but does the 330d also have the flaps?

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

These are the informations back then. You will need to research. I think these where the new flaps manufacturer. They have on their website the description from the end of the video. There will be a good starting point. In the video the invoice frame is sowing the website.

[@B3MMi]

What is the purpose of the copper coloured grease?

[@FlyHighWavesSounds]

Maybe is late my reply but...is copper heat-resistant grease used for injectors and stuff under heat. I decided to grease everything with it since heat is present. It was my choice without any recommendation. I hope this answers your question.

[@animation01boy]

@@FlyHighWavesSounds why did you grease the screws as well tho ?

[@OtisFlint]

@@animation01boy Because he's clueless and someone needs to take that stupid grease away from him. "Without any recommendation"...yeah bud, we know.

For the heat resistance. Freestyle choice.

Metal rubbing on cheap plastic 😂 They really didn't care when they designed these engines.
