How To Repair Oil Filter Housing Leak On A BMW 318CI M43 Engine

In this video, I will be doing a oil filter housing gasket and oil o-rings replacement on the BMW 318CI M43 engine. This applies to the other M43 engines out there. This oil leak is a very common oil leak and is a simple and easy repair! Just watch my video and find out how.

Seriously you can’t over rate the service to the community that KZbin mechanics make. Saving people bazillions of dollars. Thanks mate. Great job

[@beigemanalishi1645]

I wouldn't be using sealer. The standard BMW paper gasket is perfect, just a smear of grease either side and fit it. Sealer can become dislodged and make it's way into the engine, blocking an oil way.

Thanks, nice video! It's quite rare to find DYI videos for my M43 engine (there's a lot of DYI videos for E46 320+, unfortunately 316s and 318s are quite different under the hood...) +1 for next video with M43 :)

[@Motor-repairs]

Hey thank you for watching my video! I really appreciate it. That's part of the reason why I did this video, hardly any on this engine. Mainly on the new engine. I hope to get some more repair/maintenance videos on this car soon. Again, many thanks!

[@SalikRafiq]

I have the same engine with the same problem. You made your own gasket but I was able to buy one. Also when I bought a new bush it came with the O-rings already on it..which is great. But I also ordered two O-rings. guess a good spares. I see so many videos for the larger engine - glad I got this motor as it is much easier to work on!

[@dadaddymak]

Small tip for people.. the o rings on your radiator cap fit perfectly on the oil valve

[@gerryreggea]

Nice DIY for a first video...you did well, thanks.

[@Motor-repairs]

Thank you! I'd like to make more videos but better quality but unfortunately, I don't have the right equipment for it right now. Hopefully soon though!

[@gerryreggea]

Actually your phone works well and the video is clear, you can use it in the mean time no need to incur extra expenses. cheers.

[@Motor-repairs]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@wwandyyww]

thanks mate, this just happened with my 318ci, so i guess its time to get that gasket. only good thing is that the car was up for an oil change anyways.

[@Motor-repairs]

wwandyyww yeah it's best to do it when oil change is due.

[@82Bjarni]

way too much silicone sealant, its blocking oilsupply

[@karlkrajewski7546]

Thanks Joni. Found your clip and it helped me out a treat!

[@josedasilva8924]

Good video mate but you should of purchased the proper gasket for it.

[@popescumircea2737]

Thx man, helped me a lot! ❤

[@AlbertTurek]

Thanks for this video bud! Helped a lot!

[@StephyDaGoat]

Bois the bolts behind the alternator are a size : 10 for small bolt and size 12 for the big bolt You’re welcome

[@wesleyhayes9527]

Why is my water coming out and mixed with oil in my water wall

[@mobilesrvservice1692]

Keep up! Good work

[@OJacks]

My Sons 318i is leaking on the lower right driver side of the pully drip drip drip when started what could it be

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Great to see videos on the M43! Subbed :)

[@Motor-repairs]

I'm glad! I'm hoping on getting more videos done soon. Nothing much going wrong at the moment lol

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Haha I won't wish it on you so ;).

[@waaromleefik2]

Hello, please reply! My valve (the little ring) is from metal! Not rubber. I did order one, it came in rubber like yours. Do I just pull the metal one off and put the rubber there?

[@waaromleefik2]

My oil filter top is metal too, like the m3 ones. No idea why. It's a m43b18 tho

[@StephyDaGoat]

Anyone know the parts number for the gasket ?

[@MarkAlmendralTV]

why you did not put the idler pulley?

[@Muh_is_I]

He didn't even have it to begin with. Maybe he lost it in the highway

[@jayashpatel6165]

buy the valve instead of 2 o rings works out same price as you get o rings with the valve

[@Motor-repairs]

Jayash patel could do this too!

[@JimmiJumphon]

what is the part number or what size of the O-ring thanks

[@Motor-repairs]

Part number for the O ring I believe is "11421709513" and the size I believe is "24x3", you'll need 2 of them.

[@JimmiJumphon]

Jono's Auto Repairs thanks so much

[@Motor-repairs]

No problem

[@Rickster621]

why not buy a new gasket kit?=?

[@dandrixxx]

Hi! Great vid, one question though- I believe I saw you have GB plates, could you please tell me where did you find those damned o-rings as I have no luck at all :(

[@Motor-repairs]

Hey sorry for the delay, I never got any email regards to any email :O I got my gasket and O rings from dealership, you can phone your local BMW. Or you could even go on eBay, just as good. Just search up BMW M43 Oil filte housing gasket and look for the one with o rings with. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-OIL-FILTER-HOUSING-GASKET-O-RING-SET-M43-E30-E36-E46-E34-Z3-11421709800-/391428870755

[@SalikRafiq]

@@Motor-repairs The BMW online is excellent for finding the parts as well.

[@Ippen1]

Are sure that you have enough silicone?

[@Motor-repairs]

Plenty! Not had any problems since and have done 6K miles since then.

[@wwandyyww]

hey, did this about 7000kms ago, and it started leaking again uugh i think its because of the rtv maybe.. is yours still good? im gonna retorque the bolts and see if it helps

[@Motor-repairs]

Mines still good. I've done 35,000 miles since then.

[@wwandyyww]

@@Motor-repairs should i use more rtv on the second time? Idk what failed tbh. Maybe im gonna up the torque up a bit too

[@Motor-repairs]

Did you change the 2 o rings on the return valve?

[@wwandyyww]

@@Motor-repairs yeah i did but used some generic ones so i think that might be the problem, im ordering the parts from the dealership now.. Hopefully it lasts this time

[@Motor-repairs]

@@wwandyyww yeah I used genuine once and it's still okay. Also make sure the surfaces are 110% clean before putting it back together.

Co za osioł zalepił to wszystko sylikonem. Otwór olejowy zalepiony sylikonem to się musi źle skończyć.

[@ADucksOpinion]

this is not to bad on the views and like for only 10 subs.

[@Motor-repairs]

Thanks my friend! I hope it takes off soon!

[@trinstpierre4319]

I have a 97 Tahoe 5.7 and I have very high oil pressure and oil blows out my oil filter and I don't know why can anyone help

[@Motor-repairs]

There's usually a pressure valve within the oil filter housing. Potentially clogged up with gunk?

[@lexiaontube]

Sealer is not needed and can block the oil passages, especially in such high quantity .... but what am i talking about , this car might not even exists today LOL

[@NA_NA1915]

Fuckn L. Still love it

[@barneyandfriends2878]

Good videos dude but stop talking and get on with it

[@Motor-repairs]

I'm working on it. New videos are coming soon on a BMW M54 engine for a turbo build.
