You’re a wizard, my coolant just went low and I was just looking for a video.

[@jasonmckenzie3146]

Planning a big road trip myself! Think I will check my coolant leave to, thanks Justin 👍

[@yenstruly]

I found this video very helpful as it's my first time doing this. Definitely learned a lot from you, thanks so much!

[@Agradedbutfaded]

I appreciate your presentation, editing & straight to the point without being harsh on what would happen if we don’t act on it. Anxiety lol. But thanks man subbed for sure.

[@Ironscimitar]

Drained, refilled, and replaced the some of the radiator hoses on my e90 last year. I even had to replace the radiator drain plug. Good thing it wasnt expensive.

[@moreno746]

Thanks for the tip! I will check my coolant level this weekend.

[@austingfellers9112]

An alternative to BMW OEM coolant is Zerex G48 and it's already diluted 50/50 with water :) just a tip for those not close to a dealership!

[@Chrissbeenon]

Does it work for all bmws?

[@b4nkrup710]

I literally just got that rn lol

[@HiMZA-_-]

What about Zerex G05 ?

[@djroyd]

Great video JB. Don't forget to bleed the coolant lines as needed too.

[@NGAAutoTV]

Great video and love the tips! I agree, no reason to go aftermarket for this fluid since the BMW coolant is competitively priced.

[@donarahamawaty1104]

Hi! Love your videos! Iv long been eyeing on the e90 and hopefully can find a reliable one soon. Anyway, just wanted to ask you in regards to doing oil change and such on my own. Are we required to do some kind of reset to the car menu and how to do that? Was wondering since the car menu normally displays our next upcoming oil change and the likes.

[@TheChiitownKruger]

Thanks! How about a coolant flush ?

[@jtran604]

Thank you for the awesome video, had a coolant light go off on my E84. A quick trip to the BMW dealer and the grocery store and to my surprise, I had to top up 500mL in total 🤯

[@mr2bmw]

Excellent channel! Thank you!

[@Realpreshaanb]

Another great video... If i may throw my 2 cents in, it's best to regularly check the coolant tank not only to ensure that the coolant is at the correct level, but also if any oil is getting in, this may occur when the oil cooler needs replacing

[@Oni-One]

Do you know if it's ok to use 'OEM Premium Antifreeze 50/50 Extended Life-Euro' instead of the BMW brand? Same price but premixed

[@mahmoudchibani2697]

Amazing content thank you very much!

[@spiriitualminded]

Thanks dude!!

[@JHall]

If your coolant level is low, I’d check some hoses and make sure you don’t have a leak somewhere. Really shouldn’t be a whole lot of reasons for lost coolant, even between changes (or at least to where it’s noticeably low). I’m super Type A and wanna know why I’m losing coolant, when that happens. Just went through this on my C10 😂 Good video! Liked it!

[@justinbuice]

Thanks! Im going to keep an eye on it. I'll probably replace the hoses soon as preventative maintenance

[@JHall]

Justin Buice word! That’s what I had to do. In my c10, the tank was low. The guy who had installed it (owner before me) installed one that didn’t fit well. So replaced that & thought ok that’s it! Then I kept seeing freaking coolant LOL come to find out I had a slit under one of my hoses that I couldn’t see! Good thing outa all of it, with hose being so cheap (literally like $6 for 10 feet) it’s an easy thing to do to stay ahead of the game!

[@Kenicherie]

A++++++ FOR THIS! Thank you so much!

[@pfoglar]

Good advice! One more thing to do as part of this topping up is to run the coolant pump purge cycle to vent any possible air that may have found its way into the cooling system. This is done much like a normal coolant system bleed, with the ignition on, you set the climate control to max temperature with the fan on the lowest speed (if present, I also turn the temperature mix wheel located on the central vents to hot), and then fully depress and hold the throttle pedal for 10 seconds. You will hear the coolant pump start to perform the coolant pump purge cycle which lasts around 14 or so minutes. It is typically advised that you connect an intelligent battery charger to prevent your car's battery from possibly being drained, this is especially important if you have to or decide to repeat this process several times.

[@stevesas632]

Hi, when bleeding the system with coolant pump purge cycle, should the reservoir cap be on & the bleed screw open? I will be doing a drain & refill. Thanks

[@pfoglar]

Steve SAS, when I did this, I started by pouring the premixed coolant into the expansion tank with the bleed screw out until there were no bubbles in the coolant spilling out of the bleed hole. I then removed the excess coolant in the expansion tank till the dipstick showed maximum and then ran the purge cycle. I have done this with the expansion tank cap open and closes, doesn’t seem to make a difference. Some people do this with the cap on, and others not. If the cap was on, open it after the purge cycle and top up till max if necessary, then repeat the purge cycle. It’s also a good idea to connect a battery charger/tender when doing this.

[@stevesas632]

@@pfoglar ok thanks for the advice, I will get some BMW coolant & deionized water (seems easier to get than distilled). The bleed screw just seems strange to me, would have thought the idea of it was so air bled from it while the pump purging.

[@pfoglar]

Steve SAS, rather try and get distilled water, deionized water can cause problems in terms of corrosion so I’ve heard. Most pharmacies should have distilled water if you cannot find at parts places.

[@stevesas632]

@@pfoglar I've actually dealerships either use distilled, deionized or even tap water. They don't seem to car which lol

It seems like my coolant cap isn't flush to the reservoir when I screw it down. I got a radiator light 2 days ago , but it goes off. Recently got a flush and upper and lower hoses replaced.

[@flaviorobledo1538]

What do I do if there is no dip stick ? Should I just stop until it looks full?

bro your videos are great

[@justinbuice]

Thanks!

[@ByAnnieDevine]

Thank you!!

[@Tury2801]

I've seen some videos recommending tightening the reservoir cap until it can't move anymore, while others, like yours, suggest simply aligning the cap arrow with the arrow printed on the reservoir. Which one is the correct method? I hope you have a moment for a quick response

[@maloosecat123]

Justin, I like your videography...how did you get this effect at 0:36 (when you trace the expansion tank)..

thanks, i am try to add

[@tcshy1903]

Mine was leaking. Got the low coolant warning. Took it to a garage. They called and said, “ok. We looked at your car. It will cost $2895 to fix your car.” I had it towed to a BMW mechanic. It needed a $150 part called a heater control valve. That’s it! Beware of these guys that try to charge you too much!

[@antof1235]

My 320d E90 is 2006. My only problem is the heater takes about 20 mins to get up to temp. Then it stays on full heat all the way turned back to 1/4 on the dial. Any suggestions as it's showing no codes!!

[@wiredelectronicstechnology8388]

Yo Justine. I think my water separated from my coolant out the gap. Im in Phoenix so Temps get as hot at 140f road Temps. I was running 60/40. But after 1000 miles the coolant light came on n I was empty in the expansion tank. Should I run 40/60? 40% water 60% coolant? Fyi: no leaks. Pressurized to 21.9psi for 2 min. No head gasket leaks: used a head gasket fumes tester

[@himbazamaurice7031]

Does this method work for a BMW 116i 2009 model? Or do I have to bleed it after?

My light is still on and I replaced my radiator last night and checked today there’s no leaks, has plenty of coolant, I bled the system unscrewed the bleeding screw ect, I see videos of people re bleeding but they don’t unscrew it from the reservoir tank they just start the process idk if I should re bleed it ?

[@justinbuice]

Without the float, I'm not sure how you'd be able to accurately top it off, but you should be able to buy a replacement float. I've read that they get brittle and break over time.

[@harrysmith3502]

Seems like the BMWs need quite a lot of topping up! I never filled my old Vectra in 5 years! As opposed to every 1000 miles in my 330d E92. Starting to get concerned now…

[@Psalm_23]

How much coolant do I need?

[@TheAncientGoth]

you first need to unload what's left of the previous coolant then pour the new one,but even that is not finished because of the air pockets you'll get after that that can damage your engine and cooling system....it's safer to get it to the mechanic to do this

[@Asovo]

I was always told to top up when the engine is running to prevent airlock is that correct.,but obviously when it's engine cold
