Followed your instructions on my e53 today. I ordered cooling fan wrench but it never came so I tried it without removing the fan, it actually worked! Just finished the work today will see if it stops leaking... Thanks alot, your vid is very detailed and easy to follow!
Guys how long should take total? Mine failed after two year only of replacement and used Oem one though. I recommend you using Viton gasket they claim to last forever will try it and keep you updated.
I changed the gasket, after 3 weeks, it still leaks like hell, I took it apart again, it still leaks at the same place... What did I do wrong? Thanks a lot
four places oil leaks on an e53. valve cover oil filter housing gasket rear mainseal front axel shaft seal suggest thoughly cleaning the engine to have clean and clear view for oil leak
@@josekanucee1428 thanks bro, I have done ofhg (twice) and valve cover gasket, still see dripping from above steering pump, and everywhere under the bottom aluminum shield, I guess will give it last try or give it up
I thought I was over paying for the repair until I saw you video. Talk about a time consuming job.
Thanks
One of the best vid, thanks man

Yea I did the alternator once without removing the fan. It’s doable but removing the fan makes a lot of room.

Nice vid! Is it necesarry to train the oil out?
No. The oil sits well below this part of the engine.
My E53 3.0 m54 engine I change oil filter gasket each two years. Any idea why keeps failing? The mechanic do it and each time cost me 300$
How long took you to do this job ?
Takes a couple hours
How long would you say it takes to do this job?
I would say 3 hours is realistic.
@@williefast99 Thank you so much !

nature of the beast. do it again.
@@josekanucee1428 some say it could be generator bracket gasket, but it need to take the driving shaft off and stuff, that is too much for diy.
