Thank you. It was a horrible job to be honest but it felt good when it was finished and didn’t leak! Everything is fixed now and it drives really well - ready for the next big trip. :)
I've done this job on the gasser M54 engine. Interesting that it's an issue on the diesel too. The intake does not need to be removed on the gas engine though, making it easier.
Can you tell me from where I can buy this vacuum tool for the water tank to check mine car. Because last year I had the same problem but I did one miskte to change only the gasket on the oil cooler but not to the oil filter house..Now I steel have problem with small oil leak..
Yo dude. Sorry for the late response. Is yours the M47 engine too? If you’re in the UK just get it from Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/Alltooetools-Universal-Radiator-Pressure-Cooling/dp/B0B45CLPB9/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=39DU60HNTOLSM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ACDvukFX6vE4EC2zMUXgU7TSBwzhehh55sev34H0ApQIkIjlJuxOUWW1UDh7ublVMXSEyLtlS9dEz1bnYf-iiQuzagOSQInYuo5BEDeNtEJweQRwhbHOn2B8_-91TAw1tNAmYIXBrfpnJsJr6dGqXLW19GUGrn-o8dyDJZ2WmPo0YYu17TPbfu8MV4QW5Ms23oH03MGuc-jXqm9t-qagew.F4km1NFpXWPsqcVaVryxaPsfYXdehRcnqsI6OBxGVTI&dib_tag=se&keywords=coolant+pressure+tester+kit&qid=1712369300&sprefix=coolant+press%2Caps%2C285&sr=8-4 I’d also recommend changing all of the red intake manifold seals at the same time for new ones (and remove swirl flaps!) don’t buy the cheap eBay seals though or you’ll just do it twice. It’s an annoying job (as you saw on the video). Thanks for watching and commenting. :) Good luck!
If you're in the US, they're at Harbor Freight. It comes with a variety of attachment tools. I would also suggest the metric Oring kit in case you run into sealing problems like Ollie did. Just replace em!
Damn, this job is so much easier on 6 cylinder petrol models. Good video.
