Informative, thanks. Especially about the jack support for ride height, I have not dealt with it before.
Good video thank you!
great content! But, not sharing some important details in a DIY is just not really helping to your channel and the community. Yes, your're offerinfg some great help and How to's/DIYs, but not sharing some important steps or tools used to remove a very known challenging part that's difficult ; are you really helping your followers/community? It's your channel and you do as you wish, and but keep doing great content. If you're lookng to see your subscribers double/ triple, you may want to rething your approach. Again, I appreciate your channel and great the content but you're leaving out some important details..
@@richcruz8924 Thanks for the insight and checking out Kool Fred’s Bimmer Tech. In cases time is just limited and creating content does take effort and also being time efficient to get the vehicle back to the customer. I Will try to include some of the special tools In upcoming content.
Job well done. I just disconnected the J pipe on the charge cooler and moved it out of the way, but full removal is definitely the proper way like you did 👍
❤
❤ top notch video
Didn't think bmw made any part's,,,
@@angiesutton4060 Many parts are from major supplier’s like Bosch, Mahle & Trw to name a few. But when u get parts from the dealer it’s considered a genuine part.
I appreciate you sharing this level of effort. Great content. I'll be doing this job/DIY either today/tomorrow. much appreciated👊
Thank you for this video brother. Please make more s55 maintenance and repair videos whenever you have time these are a huge help
@@F83.M4 Thanks! Will do.
Can you still drive it with that??
@@Ty.f82 yes car is still drivable but it’s possible your could get and check engine light for lean mixture.
How much you charge for this?
@@doylejonesjr.3669 with parts & labor you’re looking around $1800, through a local shop or dealer your looking around estimated $3000

Can you fix mines? I have a coolant issue and a turbo line issue
Where you located?
Did you replace with genuine bmw parts or something else. Not looking forward to spending $700 on the valve cover lol
@@kaoticchikkeneggs538 It was a genuine BMW factory part.
did u have to move the serpentine belt at all to get the old. pump out?
@@Ameratsify Yes! Belt has to come off, this one has the horse shoe style belt tensioner.
Mannn, i just replaced the upper and the leak got worse and found it was this hose now!! So now i gotta order and fight to replace the return, wish you were near by to help!!! 😂 thanks for the video though!!
Update lol... after more research seem this engine once one hose starts they all will need to be replaced so called it in to the extended warranty. It is now in the bmw shop, fingers crossed 🤞 I get it back soon!
How did you feed the new line back in through without removing the ait intake pipe?
@@filippebarros you’re supposed to take off the pipe. but if u turn and flip the line u can snake it out.
thank for upload. how did you resolve the issue of the foot well module code. ? did you replace it if you can link the video. The parking distance module(PDM) error code that you had ,how did you resolve. it. DIY would be very informative. I have the same codes on my X85 , 2011 ...
@@mohammadhayatca3244 Thanks! That was almost 2 yrs ago. I don’t remember the frm code. The front Pdc sensor wiring harness ended up fixing the Pdc issue after I tried the sensor. I do have 2 short videos on the channel for the Pdc sensor and harness.
@@koolfredsbimmertech5617 thanks
What is the part called that you changed for the leak the housing?
@@cjagdath7758 oil filter housing
🔥
Doing this tomorrow 🙃 thanks for going into detail, great video!
That's from the PCV valve that's built into the valve cover?
@@SpencerBruce-x3q Yes Sir!
I did this job this last weekend. A lot of the wiggling the first pipe out can be done easier from under the car. You can reach through the wheel well and through the space by the cat converter.
So, are you saying working with jacks or on a lift? I'm on jacks on it's not a lot of clearance. Did you use a long pry bar or something? Do we have to remove the bottom feedline? TIA
@richcruz8924 Yes you have to remove the bottom feed line first. You can snake your arm above the cat converter and through the passenger wheel well
@ and this was on Jack stands
What size are the bolts on the cooler?
@@ThePullUpKing T30 on the earlier years
@koolfredsbimmertech5617 The one covering the oil filter housing. I figured it out tho. It's 3 E8 torx bolts. Thanks for the reply. Good video.
You a cool cat fred
Even if you have a warranty with these cars I wouldn't recommend, just had the same problem lucky I had a warranty, car dont have enough miles to be having that problem
I'm going well. Thank you for your hard work ^^!
I'm performing this exact job on my X3, any tips on removing the intake manifold? I removed the screws and everything but it wont come out. Also, how much did you torque the oil housing screws and the the screws of the upper radiator hose inlet? Thanks!
oil filter housing & coolant outlet bolts are 8Nm. there 5 bolts in intake and 2 support screws E10. there are some coolant hose and brakes to watch out for. May have to jiggle the intake a bit to get it to come out .
@koolfredsbimmertech5617 Was finally able to get it out. The back part towards driving compartment wouldn't come out. Unscrewed a hose in the back and used angled pry bar and pliers to help. The visual you provided in the video of the inderside of the manifold was enormous help, realized I need to disconnect some of the hoses underneath too. Thanks a ton!
@@koolfredsbimmertech5617 By the way, I found oil cooler and the upper radiator hose flange that you changed in these videos made out of aluminum and much cheaper on Amazon. Oil cooler was like $75 and the flange $20 when you include the Permatex RTV. They will never break, and if I ever have to replace something it is the gaskets which are only $20.
Oh my gosh, I wish the down arrow had a counter like the old days…. This video is a total waste
To much no need info just work
@@broderickrosario957 my channel is a leaning Experiance for all and not all about showing everyone how to just replace parts. I understand that some will be taking their vehicle to a shop or Euro tech. So I like to inform my audience of info based my years of Experiance from a technicians perspective. My channel is not for all.
@koolfredsbimmertech5617 My bad but good job
True that some do want all info
How's the car doing? I am thinking of picking up an E70 with the N55. I have an E38 740i, did the timing chain guides, suspensio etc myself, so I am mechanically able to fix this car. I just don't want to have to dump thousands into the motor.
@@PlymitBoy The E70 X5 is still rolling. The N55 is the best engine option in the E70.
@@koolfredsbimmertech5617have you done the oil filter housing gasket? I’m seeing possible rod bearing failure after doing this if the engine is not primed correctly?
@@PlymitBoy I’ve seen maybe 2 of those at my shop. A N54 & N55. To prevent- best practice is to pour oil in the oil filter housing before housing the filter cap on. Around 1/2 qt
@@koolfredsbimmertech5617 got it, I always prime any oil filter. The BMW filters are especially easy to prime considering they follow the path of gravity. Thanks for the reply!

How many miles does this particular X3 have? I have a 19 X3 with 71k miles and I’ll be doing this at about 80k. Also did you have to move the transmission cooler out of the way or were you able to get to the lower bolts without removing it? Great video!
@@RKSAINT This one had 90k. The trans cooler has 3 bolts u just loosen them up, trans cooler stays just has to be moved out the way slightly& 1 small coolant hose to disconnect.
you talk too much and do very little.
@@OnTheStreetsWithJM That’s your opinion. I still fixed a car and got paid.
What type of sensor is inside the tank? Do you know the ohm values with okay coolant level?

If i use an aftermarket tank, do i have to program something or clear something? I bought one in ebay for less price
@@eduardocoello1909 I’m starting to believe the aftermarket ones have issues with the level sensor. It’s still an occasional problem on the car I worked on. We’re probably going back with a factory one from the dealer.
@koolfredsbimmertech5617 thank you, but is it plug and play? Or do i have to clear a code? I have a scanner and do not get any code because of low coolant, only on the dashboard of the bmw.. I changed mine today and still got the wrong reading :/
@@eduardocoello1909 it’s plug and play. The aftermarket and seam to have intermittent issues setting off the low coolant ck message falsely.
