there is an electronic bleed procedure that you can do so you dont have to run the vehicle. click engine start once, turn heater on the highest temp, with lowest fan speed, and turn off the ac button, and floor the throttle past the kickdown switch, for 15 seconds. youll then hear the water pump activate and itll bleed it perfectly, takes about 12 minutes.

[@johndavis3779]

I call 2 things wrong sir

[@johndavis3779]

Bet I’m not

[@johndavis3779]

Intro and explanation is wrong sir

[@pgreenx]

Great camera work, editing and walk though. Thank you. Just curious why the radiator needed replacement on a fairly new car?

[@Bammo956]

Thats BMW for you

[@paddoqclub]

Nice work you forgot to add the how to bleed you system. Air pockets in the cooling system can cause it to over heat. There’s a procedure on the inter webs

[@mannylopez15986]

Tank you, Thank you. Thanks to your video I was able to replace the radiator and thermostat on my 535I 2011 It was very straight forward and easy

[@georgevillegas6000]

Yes,Why do u have to replace everything.can you just cut the clamps that are holding the upper hose n just put a hose that would fit there n replace the hose clamps instead of replacing all the hose attachments. Thats what i did.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Great vid. So you fill the whole system through the overflow tank? That must take forever.

[@catvisimo]

absolutely precise and to the point instructions, fantastic video, thank you sir!

[@robswrenches9501]

Hey, someone bought a sleeve! :-) This looks like such a painful job with some of those Torx screws buried down below. Nice vid Brian, thanks.

[@michaelgarciapmc564]

Does this apply to 550is f10s also ?

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

Excelente and easy to replace! Thank you sir...

[@Troymatti]

I see the original one don't have plastic housing which is good , but how long do these last before they need to be replaced?

[@tcshy1903]

My 528i is leaking coolant. I wish you could fix mine! I have to get it towed to the city. The small town where I live doesn't have any BMW mechanics.

[@hoosierdad4]

What size O rings are Those and can I get them at local part store ...I'm waiting for radiator to come in mail...I've replaced thermostat water pump and realize the radiator is leaking and smoking once it gets up to temperature and at one point was leaking from passenger side hose that has o ring .... and what's that section below radiator? Thanks in Advance and thanks for video

[@andihajdari7288]

Hello.Where did you order the part ?I have a 528i 2011.Will this one fits also my car as well?Thanks

[@santtu9169]

If this was a 535i, your bleeding was done incorrectly. It has a electric water pump whichwill bleed tthe whole system before even starting the car!

[@knightrida6829]

Well done I have about 130,000 on my 535i have already done water pump and( thermostat was a beast$#%@) pretty shore I will be changing the radiator soon I wish I had seen video because changing the thermostat with radiator seems the way to go

[@TheFrenchPug]

Wow. Just did my E92 and this looks like a lot more steps just due to all the plastic covers. My wife has an F30 though. Thank you. My

[@MrLaloman18]

damn mah man, clean that dirty ass engine! The BMW gods are angry.... lol

[@DavidSchmavid]

Work around for transmission cooler or maybe they are high pressure condensor lines attached to fan shroud?

[@Skaterwill]

Hi do you know how similar this job is on a 2012 640i?

[@michaelmejia7753]

Thanks needed to remove a broken headlight support which had a bolt in the side of the radiator

[@stephenmaklingham7254]

Nice job on that X5 well done very helpful for some people who own those X5.

[@ramtrucks721]

The Chevy S10 radiator removal i watched was 100 times easier

[@ronsmith9251]

Can you do the same thing for an F02 750Li? I'm having trouble getting the fan out, it has WAY more stuff attached to it than the F10.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Ron Smith I can only video if they come in the shop.

[@sdghdgjk]

Can you explain to me how did you drain the radiator? I know there is a plug under the car but i dont know how it works..what do i need to do?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Hrvoje Goospeed start by removing the radiator cap. Then take off the under shields. Now on the bottom of the driver side of the radiator will be a blue plug that you can stick a Phillips screwdriver in and rotated counterclockwise.

[@amgadalarikee324]

Good explanation, good information.

[@danielleos9245]

What is that orange hose called ??

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

When i removed the radiator fan to replace the serpentine belt, belt tensioner & both pulleys i notice near 2 of the bottom radiator hoses left and right side had some green/yellow gooey harden stuff around the hoses. Either both hoses are leaking coolant or the radiator has pin holes on the exact locations on both size (yeah what are the odds!) 😂 causing coolant to spray out during pressure. Fortunate the oem hoses and radiator are cheap to replace my self!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

LaloMan sounds like the hoses are leaking. Or the hose clamps

[@davidmeier8860]

How hard was it to get the fan out? I have the same pully job awaiting me in the garage.

[@juanesparza6001]

👍

[@ashahmed9774]

My t30 screws are rusted, how can i remove them?

[@Sonin66]

Pb blaster is readily available at Walmart

[@hotlava3479]

nice, video why was the thermostat not replaced while you were in there?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

hot lava customer could not afford it.

[@telabangtv]

Like BMW f10

[@jahanzebabrar2813]
