BMW N47 OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKET REPLACEMENT!

[@callumthomas653]

Perfect timing I’ve got this to do on my German scrap machine

[@luisgomes756]

The BMW dealer in Portugal asked for 900 euros to do this job, and they didn't just replace the gaskets, they wanted to change the entire oil filter box. I just bought the SWAG oil filter box (Febi Bilstein), the oil filter and the 5w30 oil (Wolf LL04) and spent only 120 euros. Thanks for the videos, they helped me save a lot! You are the best!

[@marcMH]

Boas, Luis esto com o mesmo problema no meu 118d LCI (2008) foi facil realizar sozinho, onde adquiriste a peças e oleo (pelos 120eur)?

[@luisgomes756]

@marcMH SPR Auto/Autoparts Logistic (loja online peças). Sim foi fácil, alerto apenas para a limpeza do bloco com uma esfregão pois fica residuos no sitio onde encosta o corpo do filtro.

[@FuelledLife]

That’s the exactly the way I done it George. Shame I didn’t video it in the end! Had the exact same issue, my n47 was literally dropping a puddle of oil over night. Once this was done, it was bone dry! Good job mate 👍

[@GeorgeAusters]

Nice one mate👌🏻

[@piovo1]

Did you just replace the main gasket or all of them like George did? I changed all and it’s still leaking dramatically.

[@GeorgeAusters]

@@piovo1 Did you make sure everything is clean and they are all installed properly?

[@piovo1]

@@GeorgeAusters I did, it’s only leaking when it’s warm. Used Elring also but I might just go over the bolts again make sure they’re torqued properly.

[@huggy15]

Done this job today. Not the worst thanks to your video. Had no torque wrench so just tightened the 6 housing bolts nice and snug. Gona just watch now occasionally it doesn't leak

[@morganhill6200]

Got 300000km on my ca e83 with the n47 engine and must say it have been extremely cheap to own. But now its time for new gasket on the oil cooler and a new DPF.Thanks great videos .

[@eddkennedy6458]

Thanks for uploading, just ordered the gasket/seals to do this job this weekend, your video is very helpfull.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad to help!

[@TheJuiced300]

ive saw no end of videos where they take the manifold off I was wondering if it was subtle difference's in design etc but did this myself on my f30 n47n and no manifold needed removing

[@AC-nh1sv]

Wow I’m in middle of it now and felt like I wouldn’t reach bolts with it on, guess I’ll at least give it a cleaning while I’m there

[@samiulhoque5865]

Great job George. I always look for your video if I need to fix my BMW. I have got the same car and need to replace to oil filter housing. I am confused on how you take off the hose. Could not understand the mechanism.

[@dylangray4165]

Hi mate I believe I have a coolant leak from here too will changing all the gaskets sort that too

[@DocMackGarage]

This is harder to access compared to the N52 OFHG. Nice job.

[@ronpersaud529]

Well done mate. Another job well done done.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks mate

[@kieran8137]

I was surprised that the price was cheaper from BMW directly for my oil filter housing gasket, £15 compared to the Elring. However they wanted over £200 for the housing itself. Always worth shopping around. Good job.

[@legioner9]

I think the price combined for all gaskets for the oil coller exceed the Elring ones.

[@lefora87]

did this job just last month, but mine was leaking coolant from the housing..nice video bro👌

[@Saqib.S]

@lefora87 Brother i have coolant leak also. Will this sort out after doing the same thing he did in video? I also have N47T

[@samiulhoque5865]

@@Saqib.SI have changed my gasket both metal and rubber. But still can see some coolant. Don’t know What’s wrong. I have also changed the coolant flange.

[@CustomChris]

Hi George, following for a while now and as nobody has a clue. How can I reach the motor for the fuel flap lock of my E87 LCI? The closing pin is broken and I need to replace. Thank you very much for all your helpful videos on the 1-series!

[@rukatas]

Nice but in portugal, you have a big penalty to drain oil or coolant water on the floor...your not consider the envirement😢

[@SaaV93]

I’ve got this to do on my 320d this weekend. The joys of owning a bmw. Your videos have helped me a lot with my car much appreciated. How hard was it getting back on?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Good luck!!

[@SaaV93]

@@GeorgeAusters thanks man I did it. But now I realise I need a new coolant flange as when I put the hose that attaches back onto the flange I noticed it starting to leak from the middle of the flange maybe a hairline crack. Should be fun to do.

[@GeorgeAusters]

@@SaaV93 Common problem.. I have a video replacing that soon

[@SaaV93]

[@beefyhirst7245]

How long does this take to do ??

[@aleksandarilic547]

Hi George, i need little help. Recently I changed gaskets and two coolers but i had only one oil control valve with a yellow round on top. Is it possible that some engines go only with one or someone took it out earlier? F10 525d with n47s1 (D20TU)?

[@marnybhandal]

Got a funny feeling this is the problem I have with my e61 touring. Only a very small leak when the car is stationary overnight. However I will have a look tomorrow when the engine is running to see if there’s any oil coming out

[@GeorgeAusters]

Very likely

[@zazzles100]

What is the correct kind of coolant for these post 2010 318d's and where would you get it from? Also great video!

[@GeorgeAusters]

This is the stuff you need: ebay.us/fPt1co

[@epicman4134]

You’re awesome, thanks.

[@szymonukasiewicz29]

I have to replace it due to broken oil valves (I dont have any issues with leaking oil/coolant etc). Do you think I should change the oil/coolant after this? Is there a chance that while changing the filter box the colant will enter the engine and mix with the oil?

[@jamiecodd5921]

M47 engine was a nightmare could get the last filter housing bolt out at the bottom as it was stopped by the engine mount

[@Security2U]

So will these gaskets also fit my 2009 (520d) n47 E60 also 🤔

[@ronpersaud529]

I did the battery registration with the otofix scanner. This is interesting George would like to hear your views on this , I tried 4 different scanners 3 of them were able to scan the E93 the one that couldn’t was the Creader Elite yet the reviews on this scanner is fantastic, not sure if you have used this.

[@GeorgeAusters]

I haven’t used that one unfortunately

[@sujeet6635]

@george great video, just wanted to confirm if coolant needs drainning before removing housing for n47 09 520d?

[@sujeet6635]

I will just drain from underneath. Also i see few posts telling us to prime oil housing. Is it needed?

[@omarmarouf]

Hi. My bmw 523i makes a bang sound behind of the back side of the can,right after start. It does this sound only one every time right after start. What can that be?

[@omarmarouf]

It’s like a bump sound

[@huggy15]

I've seem an oil leak near my oil cooler today when i changed my oil. The under tray was also wet with oil but the level on the dipstick was still at the max. How did you know for sure its was the oil cooler and filter housing gasket?

[@adamshaw8681]

Hi mate ive just done the exact same but it seems to be leaking again but more from the oil sensor to the right could it leak from the sensor or potentially be coming down from the rocker cover absolutely gutted thought id fixed it then seen it seeping down around the same area 😢

[@GeorgeAusters]

Check for oil around your rocker cover

[@mystuffMM]

Great video as usual ❤what product can be used to clean the dirt on the motor side ? Is it easy to put the 2 hoses back ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

[@hhrca]

I was just about to do that on the weekend! Well done job, mate! I'm curious, mine is e81 n47 diesel from 118d '09, and I've bought parts 1x 11427802114 and 4x 11428506412 so I was wondering if this is the difference which you've talked about? (older vs new engine). From the diagrams from realoem webpage there's no those two small gaskets that go on the plastic oil assembly. Sadly, I couldn't check it and have a better look since it's so crowded in the engine bay, maybe you have some input for this? Thanks a lot, mate

[@Saqib.S]

George i have the same N47T engine. But my coolant is leaking. Do i have to do same thing as in video for making it stop?

[@samiulhoque5865]

George is not gonna give you answer. He only cares about the view.

[@mariuscristian3991]

Can you do this without draining the oil ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yes, as I did

[@huggy15]

Are there different gaskets for the automatic transmission?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yes

[@huggy15]

Good stuff. I need this job doing and seen 2 different sets of gaskets. Thanks!

[@GeorgeAusters]

[@kar4tube]

Nice job on this DYI video. I was shocked at just how cheaply BMW manufactured the N47 engine is! Seriously, a plastic oil filter housing??? Not to mention the ludicrous placement of the damn thing. I mean it's one of the most leak prone gaskets across their whole engine line back with this generation. Let's put it in the absolute most difficult to reach spot. 🙄 At least you can forgive BMW a bit when it comes to the N52 and N54 engines; thanks to them placing the oil filter housing right up front, and the relative ease to do the job.

[@GeorgeAusters]

To be fair it couldn’t go at the front on the n47 because of the EGR system

[@JohnSnow-gd9dj]

What's the torque spec for the oil filter cap?

[@GeorgeAusters]

25nm

[@JohnSnow-gd9dj]

@@GeorgeAusters Not the drain plug from thr oil pan. The plastic cap in which you introduce the oil filter from the engine, I couldn’t find anywhere the torque specs for that one. And you really have to tight well that oil cap. Thanks

This is costing you fair bit considering you bought it as cheap runabout. One thing for sure you wont be short. Of projects with this car.

The price of the 2 gaskets isn’t much if I’m honest.. it’s the clutch and flywheel that will be the big hit!

Thing is, you do these jobs once, they won't need doing again for a long duration and they incredibly increase the life of the engine. To keep a car running over 1000000 miles, these things should done of most major services. With regular servicing a looking after a vehicle will last you a life time
