HOW TO REPLACE A COOLANT TANK HOSE IN A BMW N55! (overheating engine?)

[@roblafata]

Thanks for making a helpful video instead of talking about your build and dream car for 20 minutes

[@joeldyer5333]

Thank you for cutting to the chase and not bullsh*tting for 10 minutes like everyone else in KZbin. This video was helpful.

[@Edwinf30]

Glad to help!

Make sure to bleed the engine too, you gotta turn accessory mode on. Put car in comfort mode. Heat at full, fan at lowest setting. Then hold the accelerator down for 12 seconds.

[@BabyWillo16]

How do I know it’s done, did it with the cap on first and after 12 minutes I took it off and the car started pouring into the reservoir but it was taking long so I stopped and turned the car on and went for a drive and the temperature was going up normally

[@leonellopez9785]

@@BabyWillo16 once you notice it’s just a clean flow of coolant you should be go, if the coolant is still coming out choppy that means there’s still sum air in the coolant system

[@danielgalway6782]

How do you get accessory mode on? Just replaced the line and no engine raises revs on idle on and off?

[@lzspm001]

Got home to white smoke coming out of the the bonnet. Was freaking out big time. Thank you. Very helpful! DIY *check. Just under $65

[@sherryxie8277]

Thank you so much! Same problem with my 2013 bmw 335, white smoke coming out from under the hood, and coolant leaking everywhere, already ordered the part, it's coming in tomorrow and i hope it will fix the issue!

[@AlmightyK858]

I installed a Dinan cold air intake last night and after the install I started the engine to hear the new intake and all my coolant bleed out all over the garage so I turned my whip off and saw that the coolant hose completely snapped off same as yours so thanks G for helping me out with this vid and showing me how to replace it im at bmw right now just bought the hose etc! Thanks again hemie I appreciate it

[@Edwinf30]

Damn man I get that i remember when that happened to me it sucked, glad to hear you were able to fix it! sorry for the late response man I just saw your comment

[@georgesunnyt]

Mines not broken yet, can I change this without bleeding all the coolant and just top it off?

[@XDONmanX]

Thanks for this vid, changed mine in 2 mins - quick tip, you don’t actually need to take the clip fully off. There is a groove sits on when pulled half way out.

[@baka-crossing]

This happened to me very recently with my OG M2 with literally no indication except noticing a bunch of fluid leaking out of the engine bay and some slight burning after getting home. When I popped the hood it was apparent something on the driver side of the bay had blown. No "oh crap, that's bad" burning smell you'd expect with engine oil and the inner bay splatter pattern gave me the general area of what burst. When things cooled off I was able to get more into the engine bay and give things a more thorough look over where I noticed the coolant hose feeding into the engine had the hose actually rupture and break off from the connector itself. So the connector was still in place and the hose was just dangling about. You can grab the coolant hose for around $25-30 depending and then another $6-26 depending on how much coolant you're replacing (or admixing with distilled water).

[@jackhere4594]

what is that little black box bolted to left of the coolant tank?

[@PRODMAIKO-1]

Is there any way to order the black clips for the hoses by themselves? Can you send a link

[@eyeyron5007]

What’s the part number? Literally just happened to me right now. Thank you

[@yardsale781]

Thanks. I was wondering how those clips went off and on

[@xxtuddlexx]

Just had this happen to me on 2015 335i, coolant warning went on bringing back takeout and white smoke when I got home.

[@ilikesonyps2]

Thanks man, super helpful! Mine just popped out last night lol

[@Edwinf30]

Damn it sucks when it happens! Glad to help !

[@stopay4817]

Please give me the link to where you bought this part same thing happened to me

[@57veggie]

Does the NEED to be bmw OEM?

[@biggerthanlife1714]

Just changed mine today it broke a couple days ago lol. I fixed it today and filled it with coolant. I turned the car on and I have a check engine light ??

[@Edwinf30]

Do you have an adaptor or tune so you can be able to find out what the light is for

[@sk8terboy522]

Having the same problem. Did you figure out what is was?

[@idekbro8760]

Literally the same thing happened to me yesterday thank you 😭

[@benderas8060]

Thanks man, but you didn’t mix the antifreeze with distilled water 🙄

[@6SpeedTA95]

This happened to me today, great vid, I'll do the repair tomorrow, thank you.

[@Oceanbreeze16]

Thank you so much for this detailed and helpful fix! Really appreciate it!!

[@Edwinf30]

Glad to help!

[@toddstrain3629]

This just happened to me. Mine broke in the same place too. 435 xDrive with 84K. $17 part from Amazon. Be here tomorrow

[@nycshelbygt500]

Everyone has the same problem with this hose on a F3X 335i/340i. Similar defects on E9Xs. Hose is about $40 online, so buy two in advance to keep in the trunk, since it breaks around 50k-60k miles like clock work. Push in the new hose all the way into the fitting next to the oil filter housing....otherwise it might fall out. BMW Coolant is $20-$25 online. 50/50 mix with distilled water. Need to bleed the engine using an automated process. Check the procedure online. More bad news. The N54/N55 engines have an electric waterpump and electric thermostat. They both fail at 50k-60k miles, right after your BMW warranty expires. $2500 repair, including 6 hours of labor at the BMW Dealership. If you don't have a warranty, go to a BMW Indie Shop. LCI F3X with the B58 Engine, uses a mechanical waterpump, and doesn't have this problem. Code is 20A701 / 20A804. Normal Oil Temp is

[@Edwinf30]

True I agree

[@robsb1685]

Appreciate you!

[@raulmartinez3484]

My BMW 335i N55 has over 116,000 miles. Both the waterpump and thermostat are working fine and they are original.

[@MattJohnson-ib1vo]

I changed mine yesterday and everything was fine but this morning the thermostat is just staying low and not moving/ check engine light on is there something I should do ?

[@Edwinf30]

Oh damn by any chance the you have BimmerLink? So you can read what error codes it’s throwing you

[@richcookiee2039]

I got the same issue did u ever figure it out

[@CZ-57]

Bro same problem help me my guy help!

[@CZ-57]

@@richcookiee2039 did u find out I needs to know

[@MattJohnson-ib1vo]

You gotta release the air manually with the bleeder screw , just don’t break the bleeder screw bmw made it a plastic one of course

[@marniionmee2140]

Same exact shit just happened to me lol. Only $40 for the replacement hose which isnt bad.

[@lizgonzalez3735]

Shit happened to me yesterday. Almost died now just waiting on part to come in

[@Edwinf30]

It sucks I know, good thing it’s really simply to change that line
