Whelp might as well do the timing chain & guides well you're in there. I'm so lucky mine didn't get sucked through the crank seal...bay caught fire for a minute though.
That but also the subframe clearance from under the powersteering pully. I found mine was broken in multiple ares. That tension will also shredd the belt since its under load. Unless the pully hits the frame again and destroys it on impact. The ONLY fix is stiffer Engine mounts or to notch the subframe. This happened to me after replacing VCG Oil cooler line gasket and filter housing gasket. CHECK YOUR PULLEY!!!
Hey bro. Just had the same problem and they replaced my belt and all my pulley and front main seal. They never cleaned the inside. Taking off my valve cover right now. Figured to clean oil pan when i install my ps2 turbo (already bought it) since the subframe will be off (xdrive lol). Thanks for the vid
My timing chain guide broke and this gave me good memories fixing it, but my air intake snorkel came off and got chewed up inside the serpentine belt, I might change it and not take the chance as the damage could be far worst
Hey man I’m new to your channel and that is cool for info 👌 I’m working on a 08 335I E90 as well, and I have seen some oil on top of the engine and I was wandering if I may have the same problem as well.
I have the same problem with you brother, belt shredded into the engine and it won’t start, I try to turn over the crank shaft with a ratchet it turn but it just like little beat heavy? What do you thing I can do, thank you to hear me
Yo I have the same problem on my 535 how many miles did you drive it when you first noticed the belt snapped I’m only asking because I don’t want to have to get my oil pan removed when I just replaced it 🥴
you google it. serpentine belts should be replaced around every 70K miles max even if they look ok. I actually just did this for a friend today. it's a 30 min job on an automatic transmission. less on a manual.
If that belt snaps you'll need to open the valve cover and drop the oil pan. You might get lucky if you stop right away and get towed. But why risk it? Just change the belt and check for oil leaks before it happens.
Auto Addiction Tv yea I know I just been holding back because I need to hangs my oil pan . So I wanna do both at the same time . I have no leaks except the oil pan. It started squeaking because my oil filter gasket and valve cover . I changed both already . I will do it tho.
Ya its most likely your pully just change them all out including the belt. Do it yourself too, be less than $100 for 3 oem pulleys and a oem belt. Take like 2hrs to do. Not hard any idiot can figure it out with youtube dont be scared of it.
Im affraid to take my car this summer I feel like if everything will broke ! I had change the filter ousing gasket and it cost me 500$ I dont know if all the other leak will become after and whatever is a very expensive carr
That's the way to run a BMW. Replace all the gaskets and seals when you get the car. Then charge the oil twice as often than BMW recommends. The old oil oxidizes the seals with the heat.
Anthony Colangelo right now i have a JB4 with the BMS 93 Pump backend flash. Im on map 2 (17 psi target) with catless downpipes and the BMW performance exhaust.
It gets sucked in through the crankshaft seal as the belt breaks and the crankshaft harmonic balancer keeps spinning as your engine is on. That's why you have to change/replace the crankshaft seal when this happens. I have to fix this on a 2008 535i and do a preventative maintenance on 2009 135i after that...
Carlos Martinez ya these can actually get inside if it goes behind the crank pulley. Mine has snapped twice, once from being old and oil leak, once from inproper install plus oil leak lol but nothing got inside luckily i stopped the car immediately first time got a tow, 2nd time just took out all the belt pieces and drove it home in limp mode since i was close to my house lol.
7:30 is where I break down everything that was done. That's in CAD not USD. I literally did every oil gasket, all new filters and plugs, VRSF charge pipe and Forge BOVs myself in the garage. The only thing I got done by someone else was the oil pan and front crank seal so how did I get hustled lol. They charged me the same rate as any other shop and they specialize in N54s. I did over 12 services to the car which included things that weren't even broken plus some upgrades. For 2k its actually a deal! It would be more like 4 grand if I had got it all done at a shop. The belt and tensioner itself we're only a couple hundred bucks. This video is more about the pieces of belt that go inside the engine and how to fix it properly.
standby till your AC compressor pulley completely snaps off and kamikaze some things in there. I've worked on these cars that it happened to. all stock too driven by old women.
f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1585613 Wrong, older M54s and newer N55s all have this issue. Thats just ONE example. Pretty much all BMW Straight 6 motors have it. Just fix leaks asap just like I outlined in the video. I actually saved a ton by doing it myself. Thanks for watching.
Why are you playing rap to begin your vid??? It pretty much kills my confidence in your abilities when you intro with less than intelligent material. Sorry, but I'm confounded at how everyone seems to flock to the stupid in this country all of the sudden. I'm anti-thug, and that is what rap promotes. So you are against ghetto fixes, but promote ghetto music????? Lol. Really? And after doing all that work on the top of the engine, why not just jack it up and do the oil pan work yourself, instead of sending it to a shop???? Nothing in this vid makes much sense, except the message to keep your maintenance up always. Cheers!
Why didn't you use a wrench to loosen the ignition ground?
Home Depot has the 10mm 3/8 socket needed for the long ground bolts . They sell for $3.
Your ability to dress yourself should be REVOKED.

Thanks for proving that you watched the entire video. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Alpine white E92 with red guts looking hella fresh tho, +6MT lol

really lucky!! did u bet get snapped or it got shredded?

I had the same issue with the ground bolts. So I welded 2 10mm deep sockets together and I leave it in the car now haha
Nice video. You could have just drilled a whole through the long socket for the ground stud bolts. It works.
Yea or just cut off the top of the stupid bolt
What works to remove the bolts are “thin wall sockets”
My timing chain guide broke and this gave me good memories fixing it, but my air intake snorkel came off and got chewed up inside the serpentine belt, I might change it and not take the chance as the damage could be far worst
You should get a serpentine cover just for safety on the future if the belt snaps again
A go through socket set with the extension works great, i think mine was 60 bucks and they are weird multi socket that can work with external torx too
My belt snap and got suck in the crank pulley now my car wont start and pieces of the timing chain were broken what should I do
Thanks for the video.
What wheels are you running?
Hey man I’m new to your channel and that is cool for info 👌 I’m working on a 08 335I E90 as well, and I have seen some oil on top of the engine and I was wandering if I may have the same problem as well.
i have the same problem,l the engine wont turn, they tell me to replace the engine, what do you think?
Great video mate! Ignore these fools that have stupid comments. Did you replace the crankshaft seal?
Haha thanks brother. Yes I did the seal itself too just to be safe.
@@AutoAddiction Have you considered installing a crank seal plate to prevent the belt from ever getting sucked in again?
Great video!
that's wierd the belt going in through where in the motor??
It gets sucked in through the front crank seal if you keep driving.
Through the front crank seal. Theres a plate you can buy to prevent it now.www.oxwerkzperformance.com/crank-seal-plate.html
I have the same problem with you brother, belt shredded into the engine and it won’t start, I try to turn over the crank shaft with a ratchet it turn but it just like little beat heavy? What do you thing I can do, thank you to hear me
New engine :(
Yo I have the same problem on my 535 how many miles did you drive it when you first noticed the belt snapped I’m only asking because I don’t want to have to get my oil pan removed when I just replaced it 🥴
did u end up checking ure oil pan or not? also if ure seal was broken and had belt pieces around it, then u should have definitely got it checked
Sorry, you addressed the seal
beautiful car man 👊🏼 are you from toronto?? u said the shop you brought it to was in toronto haha im on keele and lawernce 🤟🏻
and eonon radios are so handy lol i got one in my 08 335i as well
Yes I took it to Paradeigm Performance in Markham for the oil pan gasket as well as the front crank seal.
hey man nice video, but how do you know when to change the serpentine belt? this video is making me panic now lol
you google it. serpentine belts should be replaced around every 70K miles max even if they look ok. I actually just did this for a friend today. it's a 30 min job on an automatic transmission. less on a manual.
Mine squeaks on cold starts but then goes away warmed up . Only on cold starts. I really do need to fix it lol.
If that belt snaps you'll need to open the valve cover and drop the oil pan. You might get lucky if you stop right away and get towed. But why risk it? Just change the belt and check for oil leaks before it happens.

That could be your pulley bro
Ya its most likely your pully just change them all out including the belt. Do it yourself too, be less than $100 for 3 oem pulleys and a oem belt. Take like 2hrs to do. Not hard any idiot can figure it out with youtube dont be scared of it.
i knowis it old post but did you buy the block off plate for the crackseal ?
No I didnt. Im just maintaining and watching for leaks.
Im affraid to take my car this summer I feel like if everything will broke ! I had change the filter ousing gasket and it cost me 500$ I dont know if all the other leak will become after and whatever is a very expensive carr
Seb Rich do it yourself man. Can do that job in 15min. Thats insane
You got hustled lmao
That's the way to run a BMW. Replace all the gaskets and seals when you get the car.

what tune are you running for the burbles?
Anthony Colangelo right now i have a JB4 with the BMS 93 Pump backend flash. Im on map 2 (17 psi target) with catless downpipes and the BMW performance exhaust.
What rear diffuser do you have?
Oem 335is rear bumper.
I bent a 10 mm wrench to get those ground bolts out
How in the hell does the belt make it passed the front main seal?
For real this dude I think he is high on something
@@leo4870 I looked into it more, it's a real problem on these cars. What a great design lol
@@leo4870 I'm not the one who designed those seals lol
@@busterscrugs Lol yup. There are companies now that have made a plate that goes behind the crank seal to prevent this issue.
where did u get the radiator hose?
George Jose Velez can get em on ebay man
It’s not clear to me how a serpentine belt makes it’s way inside the engine.
It gets sucked in through the crankshaft seal as the belt breaks and the crankshaft harmonic balancer keeps spinning as your engine is on. That's why you have to change/replace the crankshaft seal when this happens. I have to fix this on a 2008 535i and do a preventative maintenance on 2009 135i after that...
You right ,not a way to go inside 😐
Carlos Martinez ya these can actually get inside if it goes behind the crank pulley. Mine has snapped twice, once from being old and oil leak, once from inproper install plus oil leak lol but nothing got inside luckily i stopped the car immediately first time got a tow, 2nd time just took out all the belt pieces and drove it home in limp mode since i was close to my house lol.
@@aaronsanchezz i double check and you right, thank men
Smh... bmw. The first car I’ve ever heard of that the belt breaks and ends up in you damn engine.
2k?! You just got hustled

Dont keep driving grrman car after big bang
same problem((((
This 90s style scripted-sounding narrationof this video is so cringe
535i n55 engines don't have this serpentine belt issues where it gets sucked into the motor! lol n55 engines fix lots of n54 issues...
LALOMAN and yet it’s still slower
