Doing This Will Make Your BMW Engine Reliable In 2023 !!

[@RabihSaadguitars]

There is also the 2 vanos solenoid filters on the left side of the engine...You can clean them or replace them. easy job and they are not expensive.

Hi Doc just a quicky what is the life span of the timing chain on the n52 pls

[@CorbinWilliams]

Great question!

[@mikikum1]

I've never heard of the N52 having problems with the chain. Just do oil services regularly. When I say regularly, I mean every 5-6k miles and once a year at least.

[@WayToManyAssassins]

Probably forever if the oil is changed.

Good to see you back up and running again 👍 a know your not a lover of the n47 engine Dean but could you possibly do any videos on these engines as it would be an emense help to us that do have one av looked at other videos on line but I trust your opinion first and foremost thanks if you can and thanks anyway if you can't

[@andym1162]

totally agree, any videos on these engines would be an emense help to us that have the N47.

[@stephen8294]

Changed everything you highlighted last year and your quite correct everything needed doing!

[@alwayslearningthefacts5881]

Just changed vanos solenoids. Hope the Pierburg ones are good ones ? 255k on originals.

[@florinlepadatu5648]

To change parts that will fail by design will not give us a reliable engine imho, will only delay that failure. So to make a car more reliable means replacing those parts with a better design ones or better materials used in manufacturing process. I expected so see smth like use that whater pump instrad of the original one cause is better and it will last twice as much. That kind of video will be interesting to make if even exists such examples😊.

Hi, great video the Cooler line plastic connection sill deteriorating , there's a Aluminium one available.

[@martingregory5955]

so Pierburg is good as bought one for my 986? and Borg Warner thermostat. I also run a 530i with N52

[@andym1162]

I agree Pierburg is good, very

[@adamb50]

Good video man, enjoyed watching as always. And good tips, very glad you’re back to making videos. I was in a mini panic when you stoped uploading videos lol. Best channel I’ve seen so far on these engines

[@paulpateman6723]

So glad you are back Dean you are a absolute legend BMW through and Through 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧

[@kayp1612]

Do you have to change the timing chain on a bmw 1 series “13”? A mechanic told me that it has a timing chain for life. Just checking this is true

[@AB-jk7tw]

Great tips - the n52 is a great motor in my experience but it does require care - good summary Dean.

[@Zyllox96]

great video! what about the "mickey mouse hose" crumbling? just replaced mine for aluminium one as the OEM plastic one came lose

[@rampleser]

Great video! Also happened to buy a manual e63 N52 two months ago! How is your serpentine belt? Mine is already a couple mm off the tensioner and i will replace all belt/tensioner next week👍👍

[@zulfikarali2464]

Hi, Can you or have you done a video on G30 520i Especially regarding what mileage to change Timing Chain Transmission Oil- BMW say Sealed Unit hence lifetime, ZF say 50-75k? Thanks

[@bucsimon]

Amazing tips. Thx BMW Dr. I have 2000 BMW 528i. My God mother gave it to me b4 she left the country

[@by6rsc173]

First fan arrived ✌️

[@Wergrun]

Alternatively if you’re in a pinch with the vanos you can get some off a car at the junkyard for the time being. Dod this with mine as I needed my car to get to work.

[@BMW750MG]

The doc himself said it best thank you for sharing your passion gracias,What about the parts for E66/E65 2007 should they be genuine BMW

[@martingregory5955]

I used Febi Bilstein vanos solenoids and ran far smoother. I had a misfire and ended up being a coil replaced a year ago NGK so you never know.

[@alexmessina3383]

You are great on BMs and I’m working or more of them these days so yr channel is v helpful both in 15:21 completing knowledge and helping with diags. However I have to challenge a bit of what u say … ie just change it now cos it’s going to go bad anyway (paraphrasing) … While there’s some obvious thing where that makes sense (ie u have the manifold off and there were some DISAs beginning to make noise; or u r doing the water pump so replace the stat and maybe some hoses) But I couldn’t serously advise pple to change coil packs and plugs, or sensors, or whatever just because it’s there in front of me and it’s going to go bad. Where/when do u stop with that strategy. At the eye-bleeding cost of some of these OEM parts I’d be (justifiably) losing customers hand over fist … it’s different of course if it’s yr car , yr not paying labor and u can get yr parts at trade prices … maybe I’m not being fair to what you meant??? Happy to be corrected

[@jimmy-wc5ff]

Hey Doc thanks for all your knowledge, much appreciated. Tim Vail

[@WildDigger]

There is the mickey mouse flange that fails too. Easy to replace it with a aluminum one.

[@ryanm2525]

Your a champ mate gun mechanic thank you for sharing, i just sacked my mechanic 😂

[@curtishouze1471]

If telling the truth is being arrogant, then I say “ KEEP BEING ARROGANT “!!!! The only thing you are doing is preventing people ( BMW LOVERS) from wasting their time and money!!!!!

[@mikikum1]

A person that owns a BMW and uses Chinese parts is a person tbat should never ever be allowed to own (or even just drive) a BMW as such.

[@miguelrodriguez1214]

I used to disagree with that statement BUT now after doing due research and talking to a couple of O.G. BMW Mechanics I agree with you! Stick to ORIGINAL PARTS!

[@mmshukralla1239]

Guys can you write down what needs to be changed please 🙏

[@piomo63]
