In this video we tackle the neglected maintenance on this #salvage #bmw #m3 e92 competition. With the engines being the most fragile and valuable part of this future classic we want to ensure it is as good as we can get it so change up a bunch of the engine parts to get it all as oil and water tight as possible but as always it does not go to plan!

I like this series, it’s a car that’s not beyond reach of a lot of people and you’re keeping it real. Other KZbinr’s you can’t knock for where they started and have ended up, but fixing interesting performance cars for normal people is where it’s at 🙌

[@bensmith7956]

Completly agree with this. Supercars are nice but unobtainable for most people. These sorts of cars are much more interesting.

[@02jonot]

Agreed

[@tonysmall3863]

Agreed. 👊🏻

[@aaronf4201]

Agreed

[@baileybob27]

Absolutely

[@benmills1909]

Check the fusebox under the bonnet for water. The engine ECU lives in there and it's really common for the ECU to have a little swim. The drains block in the bottom 👍

[@shaza3602]

Ethan seems like a helpful person. Really lucky to have him around

[@Chris_Slix]

Hes a proper legend 😅

[@rustafwa8519]

M539 restoration just done a M3 engine rebuild. Streten is the ultimate guide

[@alfyer5]

I can guarantee that valve cover is gonna leak again. You should have used drei bond and put it in the groove where the gasket sits in the valve cover. Also you should have put a drop of drei bond where the vanos cover and the heads meet and lastly while you were in there you should have changed the plastic vanos covers with slon covers. Also I believe the torque for the bolts is 6nm not 10nm

[@diamondsink2000]

The rocker covers are magnesium and very expensive. Can also go porous over time.

[@Bavarian_M]

Yea you need to clean the inner surface of the cover where the gasket seats or it will leak best to power coated them or the NRW valve covers second if you don’t use sealant where the vanos cover meets the cylinder Head the gasket will also leak.

[@No-fc4sx]

Great work Chris, my E92 M3 had a few misfire/limp mode issues that turned out to be the coil packs, may be worth a check. Dan

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

another interesting build, looking forward to seeing the niggles get ironed out and the bodywork sorted. will be a lovely car when done.

[@laytondubazane19]

What a car, what a build This man is hard working!! Can't wait for you to hit 200k subs🔥

[@WijzeManNL]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a> The rocker covers are actually made of magnesium, not plastic.

[@ianjenkins4641]

When these get remapped some mappers block the ECU. I came across it a lot with Evolve and the E46 M3

[@tonysmall3863]

Another cracking video. Keep the content coming. 👍🏻

[@RantsBants]

Keep up the good work Chris!!!! Luvvin the work fella

[@danielseibi8687]

Great video mate, dont forget to check the Rod bearings aswell so your engine doesent blow! It seens to be a common problem on these cars! 🔥👊

[@dan19333]

Hi Chris, I had same issue on mine and it was the throttle body actuators! It’s normally either the cogs or the electrical panel.

[@christopherpeters2992]

Thanks Mr slix that song is firmly stuck in my head. You are gold😂❤keep up the good work.

[@FaithlessEmoRacing]

Loving the Linking Park music at the start Chris! 👌🏻

[@mead6754]

The UK and Ireland are the only countries that know what a jubilee clip is, the rest of the world call them hose clips love the videos

[@chiganuggoo9929]

In Germany we call the jubilee or hose..in Austria too and I've lived and worked in Aus on cars and it's jubillee too...

[@jorgefitnessroad8302]

Now this was the video i was waiting for 🙌

[@ashleycurtis415]

For low torque specs I tend to use a better torque wrench like a digital one as it's easier to hear it

[@Gobbluth666]

The music during the ice blasting was great!!

[@lloydlee5905]

Totally awesome simply love you and Matt Armstrong mate🎉brilliant Attention to detail.

[@marcinwartecki7388]

Hello, nice job, I would check the intake manifold that you removed because the gasket could have collapsed and the left one is getting air

[@MobileClutchRepair]

not sure if it was misfiring before or not, if it wasn't check the new plug gaps as anyone could drop them along the way before gets to you. if ur sure everything i back together properly. if no communication at obd port check power is going to pin 16. you can back probe it and provide power straight into the line the the right power probe alternatively check if the obd has a fuse.

[@paulbatchelor8153]

Another great vlog mate love a m3

[@flynnhawkins7265]

Liking purely for the ice blast montage, had me groovin’

[@RexRiker27]

Thanks for cool music on vid. I felt videos was a bit robotic but this one is more lively with music. Thanks

[@shaunmcgregor8690]

Been looking forward to this video love an e90

[@walkerclanadventures]

You are gold! Whole segment had me dying 😂 channels grown loads since i met you at highcross meet 🤟🏽 keep going man 💚

[@matthayes7894]

Well done fella!

[@salgueirinho]

starting the video with linkin park is just 😍

[@EmD20v]

Check the actuators

[@ciscogonca]

On the indicator stalk look up how to read the code on the car, scroll up to "check" then keep the button pressed and itll gove you a ccid code that you can then look up

[@martinbonomo1707]

You can use a length of hose like a stethoscope to locate noises throughout the engine compartment

[@jaksansom9024]

Seems silly but it's happened to me twice on 2 different e92 335is with no connection to the ECU and same symptoms as you it may or may not be a similar ECU and have the same common faults but when they sit the ECU for some reason does this and then won't read through the obd. I've found a free fix which worked both times for me is to unplug the ECU and disconnect the battery then leave it unplugged for a day or 2 I believe so that the capacitors on the board discharge then plug back in and should be fine. It seems so silly but it's happened to me twice on 2 cars so I wouldn't say it's a coincidence and I know other people who have done the same and worked aswell. I hope it works!

[@sleepysamk1400]

It’s SLIX time !!!

[@edjarvis5405]

“First run down the drive”.. lol😂 Also known as a blast down the street past all the neighbours.

[@Chris_Slix]

🤫 😂

[@tajuanwaterford2709]

This may seem like a stretch but check the fuses. Im a car flipper and there has been several times i couldnt communicate with an ecu just to find it was a blown fuse. Replaced each time and no problems afterwards. I guess i could call myself lucky

[@valveauto]

Them rocker covers are prone to warping and usually the gasket is good it lifts in the middle. You might have to replace them if they leak again. 🤞👍

[@ViibeHQ]

Also limp mode can be caused by a shortage with one of the cables at the engine

[@GTiR23]

Spandau Ballet, absolute OG's

[@ramdashayfron7665]

I love your videos Chris 👌

[@BasRikken]

Great soundtrack ❤

[@audiopower69]

Nice car and nice video 👌you should clean the inside of the air box , it was dirty , and it's more important to be clean than the outside

[@B48Benje]

Spark plug gap👀 I bought Oem plugs and they weren’t gapped properly, 2 of them had been dropped(assuming) and closed the gap the slightest bit, I regapped them and it was sweet! :)

[@zuzweitzurzeit]

Schrauben vom Ventildeckel werden nicht mit NM angezogen,es sind Schrauben mit einem festen Sitz,man dreht sie von Hand an bis sie fest sitzen.Die Ventildeckel sind aus Magnesium und nicht aus Kunststoff. Was unbedingt regelmäßig gemacht werden muß sind die Pleuel Lagerschalen,ca alle 80-100.000KM wechseln. Probleme gibt es auch mit Vanos Verstelleinheiten,Drosselklappen Stellern,Magnetventile der Vanos,mit INPA von BMW läßt sich eine sehr gute Diagnose feststellen.

[@mictaylor9531]

Awesome - half hour of carnage 😂 👍🏻

[@TheThiuser]

Your whining noise is the power steering pump. Low on hydraulic fluid. Refill and done.

[@02jonot]

Would have done throttle actuators both banks and rod bearings aswell just as peace of mind even with the service history

[@diogo1966]

Valve covers are made of magnesium or sum like that and their inside with years and mileage start to fall apart and drop stuff to the engine.

[@owenscott7775]

Just commenting to support the channel

[@Asad_Iqbal.1901]

Had same issue on mine it’s the abs sensor

[@nathanbull7790]

That was a slow pour Chris! The stability light, my mates old man had an e46 and had an encounter with a narsty pothole, can't remember if it threw the tracking out but.... it switched everything off and popped a warning up on the screen to tell you, ziss is dangerous, avoid driving and take to BMW IMMEDIATELY! It left mass 11's all over the road and ended up facing the wrong way a good chunk of the time.

[@howiegreen1646]

Try the replaceing throttle valve actuators ?? Or watch naz boost

[@MrAshton75]

Gold…👍

[@tshegothebusiness6695]

Now that song is stuck in my head 😂😂

[@27lacuna27]

I had a real struggle trying to read a fault on my old 3 series. Turned out to be the fuel pump.

[@kleemanjad]

Need eventuri intake mate.. it will sound epic..

[@AndyS63]

Would it not have been beneficial to change the thermostat whilst you had the plenum off? The thermostats are known to give problems.

[@NoWalkmanNo]

banger song

[@Scottsbuilds]

Hey Chris, loving the channel!! what cameras are you using? I'm currently rebuilding a murcielaego and keep saying I'm gonna document some of it but only have crappy iPhone vids

[@richardhoward2954]

Would suggest you change the engine mounts given the mileage they will be knackered!

[@steveb540i]

Probably a bad sensor. Might wanna change your crankshaft position sensor as preventative maintenance to see if that helps.

[@seat420]

ECU faults are pretty common on the e92!

[@ratheeshsriyan3997]

Great work mate ❤ what about jaguar. Where is it

[@ImranKhan-iq2gf]

if you got carbon eventuri intake and plenum that's would dress the engine bay nice 👍 👌

[@tomtht3355]

Rocker covers on these a renowned for becoming porus…..

[@AlexCapi]

The half engine light is limp mode. How do you not know that 😆

[@DoubleT2ts]

Great job on the cleaning of the rocker covers, what chemical do you use?? 🤓

[@tebohophuthi]

🇿🇦🇿🇦 Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@baronvondirtbike7814]

SB is the band

[@paulrobertssydneyscubadive91]

Car rebuild videos need more Spandau Ballet as their backing song. Quality 🙂

[@stephenwilson2793]

Most of that oil leak looks like it was coming from the oil cap (very common) Also did you check the condition of the vanos covers? They can be brittle and break, if it gets into the oil system it can damage the engine.

[@crofty565]

Ideally you need inpa or inta d to read codes properly.

[@PKDionysus]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="938">15:38</a> I know, right?! 😂🕺🏾

[@mattsbeamer]

Does the battery have enough power in it. My scanners couldn’t connect to my BMW 100%, when the battery voltage was low, but it still allowed me to start the car. I hope I make sense.

[@deanjones3842]

Hi mate I had 3 of these and all had similar issue actuators! I Have the blokes number who sell them and we’re the cheapest around

[@samcourt6228]

Are the rocker cover bolts single use? The early N52 with the magnesium cover has single use bolts so should be changed after they’ve been torqued up. Might explain why that one snapped. The later N52 engines with the plastic covers (and others like the N54 etc) had rocker cover bolts that could be reused.

[@chrisml91]

Check abs sensors. Pretty sure they can cause havoc on these

[@Chris_Slix]

Will do, thanks 😊

[@landyboy7]

Did you gap the plugs before fitting? Could cause misfire.

[@richfarrant]

Get Carly I’m sure Matt Armstrong has one you can borrow!!

[@R19Robbin]

🔥🔥

[@ndivhorambau1149]

Thought you were going to put in a carbon plenum from Eventuri

[@d765lt4]

I bet the issue was simply the ground at the back of the driver side valve cover. I've seen this issue happen before.

[@tommywhite5562]

I might be wrong but when you filled the car with fuel was there a red plug in the end of the filler neck or is that the filler? Might be in the fuel tank now 😬 hopefully not

[@DaveGsxr]

Where did you get the new tensioner and pulleys? were these a genuine part? May need to do the same to mine

[@stamman3682]

Ignition coils mate

[@kevmak2600]

Boootoooom of the bowwwtle

[@i80486dx]

Can't think of any reason why you can't read the code for the MIL light to be on. Just check the car carefully, even when the gas-cap is not correctly closing it will trigger the MIL light. But then, any OBD reader should present the code to you. Without a code it will be hard. Have a good look at the coils, they must be seated all the way in, otherwise a misfire can occur.

[@richardjacklin560]

if I'm not mistaken, the rocker cover bolts are one time use?

[@ryancooper4575]

Drop the year on the ecu reader almite help some times it's o. A year before then regard a year later

[@JakeBM4]

Are you doing the rod bearings?

[@rajayusuf3288]

throttle actuator need replacing as common issues with these bmw. They fail after 40,000 miles. Or manifold throttle actuator control system stuck open

[@user-lj6nl5sx6i]

Bearings MATE! MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chris_Slix]

Dont worry they will be done 😅

[@ViibeHQ]

Could it be a relay that’s blown?

[@ryanharwood8082]

I wish the rocker covers were plastic 😂😂 they cost a bomb when the coating goes porous 😢

[@JustShredded]

INPA/ ISTA will be your best friend

[@DPW864]

Never thought I'd hear 'Session' by Linkin Park on this 😂

[@earlclaasen9472]

Spark Plug gaps?

[@gwilko6452]

How much you pay Spandu Ballet for using gold 😅. Great vlog
