Thanks! I’ve actually just come back from a holiday in Czech Republic 🇨🇿

[@steve45678]

Welcome back.🙏🙏🙏

[@alexmacdonald4270]

Glad you are back, I’m looking forward to the BMW engine rebuild.

[@Kalium951]

Had the same thing with my BMW N57 thermostat. I would get to around 80 degrees c but no more. Replaced thermostat for €15 and voila it works perfectly now.

[@marcusgent]

Well thats made my mind up very helpful

[@el3ctr0nbelgium]

Hei. Welcome back. IV been Waiting you for Ages...

[@anthonywhite721]

Good to see you back BMW what’s happening dude

[@vham1517]

Nice video! What kind of sensor is that? I have the same and can't find any information about that. Thank you!

[@2006L4L]

Am I not the only one then who will keep fixing or washing own car in the coldest days of each month! Welcome back!

[@Driver2397]

Hope you good mate been a while. Looking forward to more videos.

[@williecook3412]

HI great to see you back did you get rid of the Beemer ??

[@toafy1014]

Welcome back, Bring on the BMW 😎

[@stuartscott60]

Hey, Hubnut - long time between drinks and its great to see you back on KZbin. My W204 had a similar cold running thermostat. I think the control also has a digital input? Want to see what's happened to the Beemer. Stuart @ Melbourne.

[@leechristopher5403]

Brill your back last time I saw you your white BM had brought Ken again. Stay safe 🤙🏻

[@BIG-K]

It's good to see your videos again! But £150 for a thermostat? Ye gods!

[@driftr1dr719]

Omg he’s alive again :)

[@guyemmott4009]

Have I missed the saga of the ex Rozzers Beemer?

[@leepearson102]

Good to see you back. Sad to see no BMW! Surely it's just the spring that has weakened over time! Can't hold the thermostat back any more.

[@Nut_Job.]

Yeah, that was my first thought too. It didn’t seem particularly weakened, but who knows...

[@Mr_Springy]

Nice to see you back. Looking forward to the Beemer engine rebuild. Dropped back on your channel via RR TDV8 egr delete. How’s the RR?

[@snacklofter]

Hi! What car/cars are you currently driving? Best Wishes snack.

[@totome2206]

Little advice for the om642 w212. If you empty completely the coolant extension tank, no coolant will be leaking while removing the thermostat

[@christopherrichardson5652]

What happened to the bmw last video blew its guts on a remap ?

[@alhit007]

Well come back! You give up on the 530D?? Engine rebuild?? Looking forward to the rebuild 👍

[@craigsutherland832]

Where did you go? No videos for 10 months, hope you are all good 👍

[@decgunner]

Hi, would anyone have a video of bmw f11 rear drive shaft removal to replace abs sensor please ? Thanks .

[@kim007250]

Looking forward to new content

[@pistonslapuk]

Please come back mate!

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Where you been man? Still got the Beemer? Ah yes Mercedes and thermostats. Did a video meself on the m271 thermostats. Perished seal. Very common. More vids please!

[@edwardtc8129]

Excellent you are back, been missing your videos. Will the Range Rover be featuring on the channel any time soon?

[@Jokesxxl]

Where is you’re beemer?

[@fidelsaravia687]

Thank you.list from this person whiting u .this thank for ur video .of specications thermostat .works

[@unana3940]

Is it possible to send some parts to support your channel?

[@superspeeder]

The electric element allows the computer to heat the wax element to temporarily lower the opening temperature of the thermostat. This allows for a lower coolant temperature, and keeps the coolant from boiling in the cylinder head. Car companies are running the engines so hot for efficiency that there’s no thermal headroom left in the coolant for high power operation. Temporarily lowering the coolant temperature allows them to run hot for efficiency at low load, and cool to handle hi load situations. Did you finally sell the 530 D, or will we see it back with a fresh engine?

[@tallgest]

Why have you stopped posting videos?

[@prberli]

Good to see your back, still got the 530d?

[@Nut_Job.]

Absolutely! And soon enough I will pull out the broken engine & rebuild it. I ran out of enthusiasm last year... and then Winter arrived.

[@prberli]

@@Nut_Job. good to hear, love your videos. And i still got my 535dt :)

[@puff0086]

We wait more videos , if can be possible :)

[@samsung-bc7hk]

Did you repair f11?

[@liamcinq]

Look forward to more videos when the better weather comes in. Incidentally the first value on the coolant temperature gauge is 40. Edit: £150? Jesus

[@Nut_Job.]

I know... £150 was a bit painful, but since I knew it was knackered it needed to be done. The job is a bit of a PITA too, so I didn’t want to do it twice

[@user-qh7xf3jq2z]

curious of bmw revive!

[@K20TypeR]

Bad thermostats seem to be a common issue on these engines. Mine sits at 80 and sometimes reaches the normal 90 degrees. A sign of a failing thermostat. I’ve bought a new one and will fit it soon. Mpg is low in the meantime

[@Nut_Job.]

Yes, my MPG definitely improved after replacing mine 👍

[@K20TypeR]

@@Nut_Job. Thanks mate. I’m hoping mine will improve too. Today I went for a drive and it reached 80 from cold within 5 miles. Then took a while to get to 90. Dropped to 80 and climbed back to 90. Only achieved 27mpg in mixed driving which isn’t great really. Hoping that improves

[@Nut_Job.]

I must admit the fuel economy of this engine in my CLS isn’t very good anyway... I can get over 40mpg on an A-road trip, but I have to really try! I don’t think it’s possible to even see 50mpg in my car unless you’re going somewhere downhill all the way...

[@K20TypeR]

@@Nut_Job. I agree. I have the E350 CDI coupe. I think the best I’ve had is 45mpg on a long run. That was cruising at 70. Local urban driving MPG is not its strong point

[@ipansota3832]

I have s 350 d L 2018 I noticed when I turn off the engine there is fan noise and I opened the bonnet the top of engine was very hot and the temperature gage on screen was normal do you think it’s normal or should I get checked ?

[@Nut_Job.]

It’s normal for the radiator fan to ‘overrun’ after turning off the engine. Otherwise coolant sits in the block & could potentially overheat the engine block in the recent minutes after switching off 👍 A gas central heating boiler also does the same thing if you listen closely.

[@Nut_Job.]

Usually no more than 3-4 mins

[@ipansota3832]

Thanks bro really appreciated straight away answer 👍

Already subscribed 👍

[@morganmcdonagh2663]

What happened to the BMW ex police car? Did the bmw reliability lead you to switch to mercedes?

[@Nut_Job.]

I seem to have had more luck with Mercedes over the years & that 530d was my only BMW....

[@Nut_Job.]

Possibly the last, but never say never. When it was working properly it drove very very nicely

[@morganmcdonagh2663]

Well, the problems you had with the bmw and how you fix them are what make the videos interesting for us, so keep it up

[@tomfielding3148]

When’s the L322 coming back ?

[@Nut_Job.]

Sorry Tom, that’s gone now. I needed the space really 🤷🏻

[@richardstruike7210]

Mister Nut Job, It has been a very long time? are you still going to make new video's?

[@ciucavasile2178]

Where are you? Why are you not posting any more?

[@Nut_Job.]

I’m still around. Just not feeling like making any more videos right now….

[@ciucavasile2178]

@@Nut_Job. what happened with the 530d ?

[@ciucavasile2178]

We need you back mate hope you’re doing well 🤞

[@tariqpervaiz5755]

Did your car lose temperature while idling

[@Nut_Job.]

Yes, and it was also noticeable on the temp gauge when costing down hills because the weather is so cold right now. As soon as I took the car out with the new thermostat it got up to the correct temperature & stayed there 👍

[@paultierney3738]

Just a question on the CLK 55 any issues with it please

[@Nut_Job.]

I sold my CLK55 a while back now, but for the most part it was a solid car. It was almost 20 yrs old though, so you have to bear that in mind & inspect a car like that well before you buy one.

[@paultierney3738]

@@Nut_Job. Would you know if there was rust or any other reason not to buy i have watched your video over and over and the car seems perfect one question why did you sell such a great car your answer would be appreciated i have a CLK320 Convertible at the moment is your old car worth 12000 in your opinion i value your advice Thanks Paul

[@Nut_Job.]

Wow, is that £12,000 (GBP)? That’s a lot more than I sold it for… but I’ve noticed used performance car prices have been going up a lot! I don’t remember any rust on that car as it was garaged most of its life & the mileage was pretty low. There was a slow oil leak on one of the rocker cover gaskets which I never managed to sort, but other than that it was pretty good. Only reason I sold it is that I didn’t really drive it often enough & it seemed silly having the money tied up in a car that was rarely driven… so I sold it 👍

We must be due the Bmw update now middle of July .....🤔
