I just wanna say thanks for these videos man. As a future mechanic, its really giving me an insight on how to perform operations safely and properly. Just over two more years before i can start working in the field, hopefully it can be for BMW!
Men. I love FCP EURO. I found pretty good, with asome quality parts and videos that help us to fix our vehicules right "BUT" this procedure especifically in the minute 33:00 is pretty harmfull. I been following this procedure and i broke my excentric shaft. And just to by clear this is not a complain, this an advice to pay attention in this part and for the custumers to dont follow that part of the video to disengage the valvetronic from the excentric shaft. I could die doing this last nihgt and im alive to tell you this is not the way. I know the job is completely under my responsability to do this safely. "THE BEST WAY" in order to dont kill yourself and dont broke a 1,000$ part is turn th excentric shaft all the way to the lower set and you gonna get the same result "NEUTRAL" with no risk to damage yourself or your vehicle then you are able to remove the valvetronic motor. For those who care about what happen to me last night this is the explanation: When you turn the excentric shaft all the way to the upper set you are loading the springs (16 springs to be exact) when you are all the way to the upper set and you disengage the valvetronic you gonna receive all the load from the springs in your tool and probabbly you are not prepare because the valve tronic support all the load and you dont noitce any diference when you are fully loaded. So if you dont pay attention to that you feel confortable turning, trying to get NEUTRAL set and all the spring pull even more and you could loose the grip and thats happen to me. Maybe you could be the next doing this with oil in your gloves and getting a unnecesarry accident. To finish this history i bought my new excentric shaft with new bearings from FCP Euro today and im just waiting to install everything back. I hope they see this comment and improve the video to void damages to people and their cars.
Appreciate you for taking the time to write out this explanation. I'm approaching the change interval for the vanos solenoid and regret not doing it while I had the timing chain and valve cover done.
Had mine done at 138k😭 my car left me shitty on my birthday 😂😂 thankfully 5,300$ later my timing chain, valvetronic motor ETC are done now and i feel much better
Hi, my car needs an engine replacement. 2011 335ix E90 AWD n55 ,,, I have a complete car engine with a gearbox, a 2011 F10 535i, an N55 engine. I noticed that the engine is almost the same, but the gearbox is a little different. What do I do to make this engine work on my car? Do I just need to install it and I do not need to do anything, or do I have to modify it? Some things to work with, thank you

E visto todo el proceso, solo tengo una pregunta? Un BMW con el Valvetronic malo, el motor prende Si o No?
?

And if you think about it, its additional steps removeing the upper stop. You just need to remove the lower stop.

what was the oil interval on that motor, definitely not clean. great vid thanks for content
Obviously oem intervals
I love that we got 2 FCP euro videos😊😊

5300😮
What affordable scan tool would you recommend for programming relearn after the repair. And in general to diagnose any BMW issues. Thanks
Hi, we have a few selections from Autel available on FCPEuro.com that will handle what you are looking for!
That part is the problem with motor starts?

That’s a one neglected engine. Not enough oil changes.
Golden...thanks for posting 😎
Very good video 👍👍. I'm surprised to see most of all engine screws corroded
Can you guys make more videos on the f15?
E90 power steering pump next please! 🙏
Very detailed video thank you
Adjustable wrench was the real GOAT in this video lol.
😅
