Great video. Have been watching you and your real knowledgeable. So I need to come see you with my 2011 BMW X6 xdrive50i asap. Check engine light on. Engine malfunction vacuum leak. Pretty sure it’s a pvc valve. Just ordered parts going to change plugs and coils as well and if that doesn’t work I need to bring car to you

[@stopcorruptioninozqoa2030]

I have replaced spark plugs , injectors . PCV & hoses , throttle body replaced , maps sensor & throttle body .. now they say intake manifold has melted popped holes . Part no ending in : 555666

[@chefboycookin]

The VANOS solenoids will cause all of that. I just replaced one in bank 1 that was stuck. That can be caused by very dirty oil. Once I replaced it, ALL problems went away. The VANOS solenoids can cause a chain reaction. They are located right behind the turbo coolers.

[@Jet3ch]

How did u diagnose it?

Thank you man!🙏

Hey brother, I have a 2012 bmw 550i and after being on for about 20 minutes an alert appears on the dashboard, it says that the vanos are hot due to the fluid content, you can tell me what to do. please?

[@PedroMartinez-us5ff]

Low battery caused ??

[@MikeBrown-yx1eb]

Fuel pump or fuel filter is the most common do not let him lead you down a rabbit hole.So I just got my BMW back and she runs awesome.My mechanic showed me the old fuel pump and on the side of the pump is a filter bag.My filter bag was completed clogged and very dirty.I thought there was a fuel filter you could buy separately but there is not.A new fuel pump was around 500 bucks so I found a low mile 750 at junkyard and purchased pump for 80 bucks.Hope I helped anyone.

[@stage3dynom594]

You think???

Hi Mike, mine give a drivetrain message, on other days when i add a bit of fuel it becomes ok. Even though i have fuel in the vehicle it requires me to add a bit of fuel to drive further. What might be the problem?

[@alonzoluna8586]

Francisco, thank you for the great content on BMW N63's...I have been trying to find a video on the code I am getting on my 2013 550i...after getting Drivetrain Malfunctions lately I checked with my scan tool and the codes I keep getting are: "Vanos, Inlet 2: Control fault, position not reached" and "A Camshaft Position - Timing over-retarded"....both are for bank 2...I thought it might be bad Vanos Solenoids, but am worried it's something more serious. Any ideas or a video I could check out where you encountered these specific codes?

[@jhodoe6684]

Bad ass channel thank you

I never had an engine light come on... just the Drivetrain Malfunction. I was low on Coolant and after I filled it the light went off, but several days later the same thing but the car stopped all together. Took it to the shop and they said I needed a new engine. I had my car towed away and started researching to see if that's the case. Doesn't seem like it.

[@choclateladyroberson79]

My exact issue at the moment...I hope it's not . 😢 2nd opinion wanted

[@cooperd6197]

@@choclateladyroberson79 I decided to take mine to the nearest BMW for them to fix it. (Not under Warranty) Mine is a 2015 550i and it had issues and a recall that the previous owner ignored so it should be given a new engine from the opinions I received. So it's sitting in a sea of BMWs awaiting whatever they decide to do. I ran into another BMW owner that has similar issues and his was fixed as well.
