    @jjanvier1443 Місяць тому

    thanks for this video. it helped me a lot. I didn’t have those special tools, so for removing the arms form motor, I just use a claw hammer. I used the claw part to force the arms off one by one. that went very easy. the square thing on right side, that you removed with the special tool, I just left it. Therefore I could not remove the plastic cover, but I could move it out of the way and get under it with an imbus tool to loosen the two bolts keeping the fixed arm. It was a bit of a hassle, but succeeded. working with hammers/ force around the edge of the windshield, you should be very careful, because can easily break the windshield if you hit the edge. I opened up the motor and found the tooth of the plastic gear wheel to be worn. If you are able to get the wheel, you can save yourself a lot of money. the original motors dont come cheap in my country (around 700USD), while the gear wheel is not even 20USD.

    Number one task when purchasing a used vehicle is to establish a baseline. Before anything else, change ALL the fluids. Front to back. Blinker fluid, front diff oil, Tcase oil, transmission oil, rear diff, engine oil, engine coolant, steering oil, brake fluid purge. Then lube the muffler bearings and go for a drive. Start rest of the fixits after that drive.

    Higher octane burns faster, that’s why high performance engines use it and can’t use lower grade fuel or else the engine will lag. Also man you get to the point and show us the actual car and what you did to fix it, if you’re going to vlog thats cool but title it is a vlog, I thought this was a to the point mechanic fix video and I’m trying to fix my car already lmao

    • @rashadarbab2769
      @rashadarbab2769 Місяць тому

      Thats not really true. The higher octane fuel has a higher flash point, and is less likely to detonate under high compression and pressure. Thats why turbo engines usually require high octane fuel because the compressed air and compression of the engine will cause low octane fuel to detonate early and blow up your engine.

    It looks like the arm attached to the motor shaft is notched, is it possible for the arms to be installed in an improper position? I just bought a used BMW in a private sale, and noticed after that the passenger side wiper goes down too far and hits the sill plate or trim piece, whatever we want to call it, at the bottom of the windshield. It then makes a clunking noise as it comes down onto the windshield. On the driver side, there is maybe a 4-5" strip of uncleared rain/cleaner which I find a bit distracting when using the wipers or cleaning the windshield. It would seem they are both installed a few notches too far in the counter-clockwise position when looking at the front of the car. Easy to adjust? Or is this a different issue with the motor?

    • @bmwminicooperdiy
      @bmwminicooperdiy 9 місяців тому

      Yes, it’s actually easy to adjust. I believe it’s a 13 mm not just remove the plastic trim on the wiper arm towards the bottom it will expose the 13 mm not then simply get it loose and adjust the windshield wiper to your liking. It’s very easy then tighten things up.

The loss of power steering I can DEFINITELY feel lol. I wouldn't be able to turn my wheels like you unless the car was lifted. Do you know if this could be the fix in my case? After replacing the battery I did drive it around WITHOUT doing the left-right-left maneuver thing, but it didn't go away. I have a lift on order so hopefully I can try that soon.
