E92 M3 Throttle Actuators Replacement (Failed at 34,000 Miles)

[@treeightoh3003]

Mike's the dream mechanic we all need close by

[@wettm3]

right!! I feel so vulnerable when I'm not in SoCal close to him and his shop!

[@x_d3119]

My actuator just failed in the first day when the temperature hits low 10F. Did some research and found this is the best video I could find across the net for the replacement DIY. Much appreciated to you and the Mechanic MAESTRO Mike.

[@johnnyz9879]

Nice footage, really help to let us understand our engine structure.

[@wettm3]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Replacing mine myself tomorrow for the first time, nervous but exited too! Thanks for the install video 🙌

[@andruska1312]

Glad its back on the roads again, looking forward to more videos. Love the quality and your downshifts are the meanest in the world. Keep it up man

[@wettm3]

thank you I appreciate that!! I'm so happy it's back, I can't wait to get more videos out. I have so much I need to catch up on, so plenty of content coming!! Thanks for the kind words

Was hoping to see some secret trick to disconnect that hose that sits at the back of the plenum. It almost drove me crazy. I had to use a heat gun and squeeze the living hell out of that clip. Eventually I got it off and as a bonus a tingling sensation in my fingertip for several days... so that's my amateur pro trick; us a heat gun! Love that color, the rims, the stance... just beautiful

[@wettm3]

haha that's awesome, too funny 😂 thank you for the kind words!

[@thatweirddrifter5500]

Sick car! Glad its back on the roads

thank you!!

Great video, That Milwaukee Ratchet is my favorite tool .

One of the best tutorial videos i've seen. Mike really knows what he's doing

Good Job Mike, good video N. Nice to see a detailed video.

That guy is really talented!

[@wettm3]

he's awesome

[@EuroAutoEnthusiast]

Thanks for sharing this information and so cool to see @TruongMikeMai was able to come up and assist 👊🏽💯 Having removed the plenum to replace spark plugs before, it’s just a few more bolts to remove to get to and remove the actuators. Easy day for this DIY…I hope 😉🙌🏽

[@m.hfitness]

Keep us posted on how it went.

Is it essential to disconnect the battery?

Excellent video !

[@laykawest8674]

Was the check engine light u had related to the throttle actuators after the job was complete?

[@wettm3]

we hadn't cleared it yet, just testing

[@davidpineda645]

I have 180,440 on my S65 and dont need these yet. Good motors and they LOVEEE TO REV. The only thing they go through is gas and tires

[@wettm3]

wow that's impressive!!

[@davidpineda645]

@@wettm3 Yeah but i dont rev it like you that much. I only shift around 3000 and 4000 mostly. It has enough power for everyday driving. Very comfortable and drives so stable .

[@FishFind3000]

15:35 I’m surprised you wouldn’t get that side marker delete painted to match…

[@wettm3]

doesn't bug me too much anymore since it kinda goes with the wheels, but might play around with swapping it in the future

Thank you!!

[@m.hfitness]

@wettm3 do you have a link to the battery you installed?

[@kid2519]

Why not use the up-rated version of the throttle actuators?

[@wettm3]

its either new like mine or rebuilt with different pieces

[@livingwithgeorge5854]

that sounds so good!

[@wettm3]

thanks!

[@AbletonLiveTechs]

so sick! what skill truong has!! 👑

[@wettm3]

yes! he's awesome

[@bradenwhite4356]

Might I ask why you didn't do the metal gear conversion?

[@wettm3]

I wanted new ones

[@bi0n1]

What does this cost to do at precision dynamics?

[@wettm3]

not sure what they charge in house since I got special treatment in the form of a house call hahaha

[@z06jakee]

as a mustang owner this will come in handy when i need to change my throttle actuators on my non existent bmw

[@chalatan16]

Damn bro that’s just bad luck lol I’m at 130k with my s65 and still no actuator issues rod bearings already replaced though

[@wettm3]

wow that's crazy! keep em running strong

[@FishFind3000]

Maybe you don’t floor it all the time like wettm3 does and your have lasted longer without the abuse.

[@chalatan16]

@@FishFind3000 I would agree with you if I didn’t beat the piss out of my M3 lol I only drive it fast every time I drive it the only way they should be driven 🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏽

@@chalatan16 yessir! Drive em hard or not at all, after it’s warmed up of course haha

[@echevarriamanuel5]

I'm replacing mine at the moment, 4500 bucks. I just hit 56000 mi, 2011 e93 m3.

[@pacpac22]

Actuators are common replacement for e92 and it must be replaced at around 10km ~

[@bradenwhite4356]

This man owns an e92 and doesn't even have the balls to replace his own throttle actuators XD

[@duck8280]

? Cuz it’s a unreliable car or what

[@wettm3]

I didn't want to do it plus he'd do it in a fraction of the time lol

[@s7robe297]

@@duck8280 hella. Still might get one though lol

[@rosinor6406]

Why. Is buying an M3 making you a mechanic automatically? Is there a manual that comes with the car to get you to be proficient in servicing your vehicle?

[@bradenwhite4356]

@@rosinor6406 You don't have to be a mechanic, anyone who is into cars should know how to do basic repairs and maintenance, that's half the fun of owning cars
