Hey broo I need a car please

[@ISO-420]

Hey i was jw if you could possibly link the fuel pump? or where you got it from.

[@kriterzz5383]

seeing the happiness when it was fixed put a huge smile on my face bro it’s always such a good feeling getting something fixed after running around for a while

[@harpindersingh7197]

You did it bro. You gave the N54 new life

[@damnitdanielson]

The reaction man, feel like all us car guys have been there when you accomplish a fix that's been stressing you out! hahah laying in bed like damn what if i do this? how about that? awesome stuff Alec!

[@thisguyshorty3554]

There is a BMW bulliten for the fuel pump plausable code. It isn't of any dire repair or fix. You can also check the EKPM module.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

17:13 Alec, I remember those drives quite well and now I still live in that wonderful cool and clean summer air, just 300 miles south of you!

[@rossparkes]

Great job man, it's so cool to see you work through that issue & get the job done! I'm super gassed for you. As someone who is working on my own car it's very refreshing to see that sometimes the diagnosis doesn't always work first time, story of my life 😆

[@DayOffDIY]

awesome to hear ross! I think it might come back and bite me, just got a new upload out on it :)

[@bedeaguilar7629]

Your videos are my therapy man

[@domenictv2880]

21:40 sound good

[@robsweekendgarage]

Awesome work Alec! Knew you’d figure it out. Bet you’re much more stoked about working on its other needs now. Excited to see further work on this project. Be well my friend!

[@DayOffDIY]

appreciate you rob! just tackled the cooling system

[@ian.M440]

Great job

[@Koolicyde]

I think that fuel pump plausibility fault is pretty common and doesn't cause issues. I want to say mine has had that for the whole time I've owned it - since 2010.

[@ltdasilva93]

Correct. Had a stage 2 Walbro in mine, same code, no issues.

[@Poseoptional01]

😅

[@slitherdurant]

same,

[@alfrednavarro2391]

Awesome feeling solving an issue that’s been kicking your ass. Way to persevere!

[@mrmusic1880]

Great great job man! I am fixing up a 2012 335i F30 with 240,000mls on it and your 335i video's give me good hope!

[@shrkys4]

Awesome!!! No better feeling than getting that fix done! Really enjoyed your reaction and your dawg's zen!

[@user-nw7kf6nl2y]

Nothing like starting the day off with a fresh video!

[@callenmeyers]

Your excitement is inspiring me to go chase the drivetrain malfunction in my $1000 F10 535i 😅

[@dalebenavidez4896]

Great job fixing it bro!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I was wondering how you are doing, Alec I can see that you are doing great!

[@convella]

Awesome, knew you’d find the solution soon

[@bethanymama2]

Yesssssss!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 wooohooo!!! NICE!!!! Let’sss goooooo!!!!

[@Mateo.Sutalo]

Great job dude! You're an inspiration!

[@DayOffDIY]

appreciate you mateo! you guys are the ones that keep me inspired

[@No_Life_Liam]

After all of that and it was something pretty small! Great troubleshooting, very thorough, you saw that one through to the bitter end lol.

[@DayOffDIY]

Yeah man it escaped me for a while! I dont think its the last of this issue though, just posted a new upload! you will see lol

[@No_Life_Liam]

@@DayOffDIY It never ends mate hahaha. Look forward to watching!

[@friguy4444]

I love these videos bro! Thank you! I feel for you when you're struggling with the car. Talk about a case of "Been there done that"! LOL. But it's not a joke when you're in the thick of it and nothing seems too= make sense or work. By the way those are actually called "Boost Solenoids. The waste gate actually on the turbos and pull the arms to "actuate" the flaps inside. I've put "XHPTuner" on my car which is a transmission app you can get for your phone. It makes it so you can really change those extremely lazy and slow shifts when using the paddles or even in the regular drive modes. It's made a world of difference with the shifting and torque settings. You can do a huge amount of upgrading on the trans with it. Of course now comes the time when you may want to consider your many options. You can put on some serious power if you want and still keep the OEM turbos through going with some Mods. I think you might already have the down pipes?? Not sure but those are VERY awesome upgrade as well as the front intercooler then some E85 (E40 blend or E50 makes a HUGE difference) This is all while using the MHD app to tune your car. Ive gotten to the point where I'm Running a Custom tune from JSRTuning with up graded 17T turbos (I think your New ones might be those same type) When you do (or if? lol) the new Intercooler make sure you get the larger sized 7.5 or even a 7 inch cooler as I learned the more expensive way that once I put the smaller 5 inch intercooler on mine I wished I'd gone bigger when I found myself able to go further with the mods 6 moths later. ROCK ON BRO!! I still recommend checking out the "Zero to 60" channel as Andrew was a HUGE help to me when I watched the videos on his cheap 17T turbo car build. All his mistakes were SO much help! Don't go for the 3.5 T-Map right away as it's not really any help unless you have the bigger turbos on and all the other mods first. LOVE YA MAN!! SAGE is so SWEET! Wow you spoil your chickies! LOL. Long Johns for feed!

[@DayOffDIY]

Appreciate you Greg! Thanks for all the awesome feedback! Sadly the boost fault has returned... just posted a new upload with tackling the cooling system, and yes you are totally right, i mispoke and called them wastegates but they are indeed just the solenoids. cheers!!!

[@serhanarslanturk6426]

GREAT JOB MAN! 🎉🎉🎉 congratulations on beating that challenge. That Smog machine is a blessing. I celebrated that big win with you while looking that Video 😂 💪💪💪

[@DayOffDIY]

love to hear that serhan! yeah that ventus comes in handy a lotttt! new upload just posted :)

[@ivorvanwerven6210]

yes! keep it up! I am preparing a guibo disc replacement + center mounting driveshaft replacement. Maybe also an idea for a video.

[@DayOffDIY]

Nice one Ivor! that should make a big difference. Id like to tear into my E46 for that repair, it also needs a rear diff bushing!

[@LastChanceFossil]

This is why this channel works for me, it's real and we're warching A's determination and experience grow!

[@FredRRated]

Good job man!

[@JohnLampson]

Heck yeah, this is fantastic and covers some diagnostics I think I need to try on an upcoming project for myself. As mentioned above, you have definitely been an inspiration and a catalyst to me and many others. Keep on rocking!

[@DayOffDIY]

Really appreciate that John! means a lot!

[@carstenrubner520]

Its not always the goal but the road towards...Love the troubleshooting along the way...its rewarding and educational....🤘

[@anwarmachou4621]

هذه هي نتيجة الإسرار و المثابرة، خالص التهاني تستحق كل الاحترام و التقدير ، واصل اخي

[@MrJFunk]

Time to get me a smoke machine, congrats 🎉 on this repair!! 👨‍🔧 Like your technique on checking misfires by swapping the plugs and coils. Just got one my Tacoma that I need to sort out. You’re a great help!

[@KhaoticKrozier]

This is great, congratulations on figuring it out! 335i is definitely on my list of cars to own. I wish I had one of them smoke machines, have 2 separate projects that I can’t find a leak on.

[@clivelawrence8017]

Alec, your skill and perserverance with this car has just brought a massive smile to MY face as well. I am very happy that you sorted this out, and thank you for sharing the joy as well as the pain :)

[@gerardoperez9071]

HELL YEA !! Your face expression when there were no faults was epic !!! LOL You did it !! All you Broski !!

[@stanelder9995]

Running a 2011 135i with N55 motor (and an E90 N52 before that), I know how great this feels when you solve a complex issue! 👍👍

[@johnnygandy3931]

Sweet. Right there with you man. Take a bow sir.

[@damon123jones]

i love my 335, great video friend, the new knowledge from such a deep dive is priceless

[@retrobot85]

Good Job Brother!

[@23tlujan23]

I’m learning more as you go through the diagnosis process and trying fixes. That’s real world stuff. Not every fix is perfect. Keep up with these types of videos. Congrats on getting it figured out!

[@Preditah.]

Noice! It's a great feeling when you've been chasing a problem and finally find a fix.

[@cyrildelcroscrl5648]

Bravo 🎉🍾 👏👏👏👏

[@jutto64]

Well Done, nice the turbos are good! Doggy knew it was fixed.

[@phillipmartin180]

I had 2009 335 coupe loved it when it was running fine. It was a bit of a nightmare between the waste gates, high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors. I traded it in before my warranty was up as the two HPFP, the waste gates and three times the injectors were replaced under warranty for a 2011 328 sport wagon needed more practicality. I had the sport wagon for 5 years without one single problem.

[@joshlenz1367]

Nice work! Great to see hard work and troubleshooting paying off! Inspired to get rolling on my N54 E90 engine build.

[@bogusienombre355]

Congratulations! Yes keep it 💯 % real. We can all learn something even if it's not our model. BMW fans use all that info for their next ride choice. Happy for you and glad you met people from SEMA. AWESOME !

[@ubaldobarragan898]

Great Job 👏 always good to see a BMW back on the road. I know you make this car a good daily once again

[@basesperanca]

Hell yeah Alex!!! Way to go brother, really enjoyed watching this. In hindsight it's so obvious, isn't it? Not building boost - waste gate malfunction. But it's always easy once we know the answer. That's why I think good mechanics are so underrated. Like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes, and some issues it takes a real "Dr. House" to get to the bottom of. Looking forward to the next episode!! Wish I could invite you for a (physical) beer some time, but maybe I'll just join your patreon or something instead. Cheers!!

[@sbrave]

Stoked for you, great job, man!! I loved and kind of miss my 328, but you're so right, these things ALWAYS need some kind of repairs, and if you can't do the work yourself, it's gonna cost you a grip!

[@slinks6651]

put a tune on it with a blow off valve and cone intakes same a chargepipe

[@Em24476]

Man that’s awesome! Glad you finally got it figured out. That was such a weird issue to try and track down but you finally got it! Nice work!

[@BamaTony73]

Yeah these things can be difficult to diagnose sometimes no matter how good of a mechanic you are lol Glad you got your boost on the 335 fixed. No check engine light with you boosting it several times on the interstate id say yeah you more than likely nailed it there. Good eye on the actuator. My X1 was smoking from the cat and I ordered a new cat and already took the other one off and the gasket looked torched. So the tapping noise I was hearing could be a leak in the cat hence the smoke. Not sure yet. Hoping the new Elring turbo/cat gasket and new cat will fix it.

[@AB-jk7tw]

Great job sorting this car out.

[@DenizPain]

Feels so good when it’s fixed

[@465painkiller465]

Broo I’ve just opened KZbin and seen this post but I don’t have time to watch the vid until tonight! I’m really excited

[@dkrongel]

Big thumbs up on the first 10 seconds. Brightened everyone's day w that hootin.

[@Xoxo92q]

Fear not you have a free pre facelift e90! I have a 08 330” e92 I love the older na BMWs but still find myself watching I want to b58/ n55 swap my car, keep up the work man your motivating me 💯 🔥

[@macgroober1396]

NOICE! I know that saved you some dough not having to replace turbos!! I know it's probably the last thing you'll do, but please swap those wheels out for some better looking factory ones, or maybe just strip them? The black doesn't look great on those.

[@rickvanauken6364]

Great job kid! I’m really enjoying this video series.

[@andrewgarcia3136]

bro yeah!

[@DayOffDIY]

appreciate you andrew!

[@elvinvargas9977]

Oh yeah congratulations men nice job.

[@DayOffDIY]

[@grantschmidt8662]

Nice work!

[@DayOffDIY]

[@thiagocars]

So happy for you man! You’re a good professional!!! Congratulations!!!

[@Jim95M3]

Strong Work my friend !!!!!!!!!!

[@TrickiHunter]

You're a genius bro...good looks

[@johnyorke9711]

You are awesome! So happy for you. I appreciate your thoughtfulness working your way through the issue. Looking forward to more videos.

[@damianspears2469]

Happy for you brethren!!!’ Awesome

[@StephenChen210]

Great job!!! I can feel that accomplishment!!

[@derekrostock1596]

The second the N54 dropped in your lap I was worried it’d do you in 😂 But stoked you hung in there and got it running strong!

[@craigjohnston1194]

Well done, great result

[@1504zak]

Dude I’m so happy for you

[@carlosalejandroguerrero4545]

You did it!!! Congratulations man!

[@johnaramirez1816]

Excellent work. This has been a fun series to watch.

[@thejamaicansenpai1698]

Congratulations Man!!!!! I'm happy for you

[@WilderRoadtrip]

Awesome job!

[@haroonzangana8489]

Hell yeah man. So happy for you

[@petezervogiannis8405]

Strong work! I know the feeling g working with these cars. Congrats

[@16vPete]

Definitely don't feel bad or think you're just thowing a bunch of parts at a problem. It's ALWAYS a good idea to replace some random aftermarket part with quality OE, and that fuel pump sock looked terrible, too.

[@anthonycorsini9081]

great video just bought 318i loving it need to change the steering angle sensor have you ever done one

[@DayOffDIY]

I have! You gotta remove the steering wheel airbag, steering wheel, replace sensor, and recalibrate :)

[@joegoh1968]

Great job! Enjoying and looking forward to your vids!

[@theradgamerx]

Gotta love the bmw 335is

[@cheaprubbergarage6015]

Good job bro

[@ovalman]

Nice job. Question though when you say wastegate actuator, do you mean vacuum solenoids?

[@Pedro88311]

Great Job dude!!!!!!! ur awesome keep it up

[@alexander3784]

Good job, keep em coming

[@AedoN54GASM]

I genuinely believe my car has the same problems. When you swapped the waste-gate actuators and then it started to smoke. Was it blue smoke? If so is that probably the cause? I think I need to do my waste gate actuators too, I don’t think I need new turbos.

[@ski69]

Way to go!!! Congrats brother

[@olegsukhotskiy7761]

Good job 👍

[@exiteternium]

Dude, try rock auto for hard parts liek oil pan, or ECS tuning, ( ECS tuning has bremmen oil pan for 206 shipped, Rock auto is actually more expensive for once, which i got the M3 control arms from Delphi for the rear from rock auto, plus new bilstein B4 sport suspension rear shocks for just over 300 shipped.)

[@-MistaJ]

SWEET, SWEET VICTORY. Although the jobs not done, its such a big relief to know you don't have to dump money into turbos! 3k+ Saved

[@JVBNorway]

Lets go! Its all coming together, keep it up:)

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

, excellent,, and...the other work needed doing anyway, so all round win 👌🏻

[@zzzr4604]

[@Poseoptional01]

Yes, “we” did, yes, “we” did! It wasn’t easy, but “we” got it done!

[@ChuckyyBuiltt]

Super great video!!!😊

[@tehedx]

Well done Alec, woohoo! Time to relax now
