In this video, I am diagnosing and inspecting a 2018 BMW X3 for coolant leaks. I take you guys along for a look into how a technician would inspect & diagnose your vehicle. I also point out problem areas and some of the common coolant leaks and typical parts that we replace such as the oil filter housing, coolant vent hose, the coolant outlet for the upper radiator hose and the upper radiator hose. ⁠‪@koolfredsbimmertech5617‬

How many miles does this particular X3 have? I have a 19 X3 with 71k miles and I’ll be doing this at about 80k. Also did you have to move the transmission cooler out of the way or were you able to get to the lower bolts without removing it? Great video!

I'm performing this exact job on my X3, any tips on removing the intake manifold? I removed the screws and everything but it wont come out. Also, how much did you torque the oil housing screws and the the screws of the upper radiator hose inlet? Thanks!

oil filter housing & coolant outlet bolts are 8Nm. there 5 bolts in intake and 2 support screws E10. there are some coolant hose and brakes to watch out for. May have to jiggle the intake a bit to get it to come out .

@koolfredsbimmertech5617 Was finally able to get it out. The back part towards driving compartment wouldn't come out. Unscrewed a hose in the back and used angled pry bar and pliers to help. The visual you provided in the video of the inderside of the manifold was enormous help, realized I need to disconnect some of the hoses underneath too. Thanks a ton!

@@koolfredsbimmertech5617 By the way, I found oil cooler and the upper radiator hose flange that you changed in these videos made out of aluminum and much cheaper on Amazon. Oil cooler was like $75 and the flange $20 when you include the Permatex RTV. They will never break, and if I ever have to replace something it is the gaskets which are only $20.
