Such fantastic DIY's. Hoping to use this to replace my S54 M3 valve cover gasket. I get education but also confidence from your videos! So thank you and keep them up!
Although I myself have BMW E46 330xd (diesel), I get plenty of hints from your videos. God bless and provide you success! :-)
Thinking about buying a 01-05 E46. As my daily.. I really like the 325 but found a pretty good 330 as well. Can't make up my mind. Happy I found this channel though ahead of time, just in case. 😉
Thanks to your clear and spot on step by step explanations, I will confident to easily tackle this kind of job!
I used this video to access the #6 coil and I didn’t break anything!!! I’ve gotta swap the water pump and thermostat later this week so get to it if you don’t have another video for those yet lol
Another great DIY guys. Thanks for sharing!
As always very informative video I can’t wait for the VANOS video. Keep it up bro 👍🏻
Learning a lot of things from you
Thank you for this DIY! Great help to a first timer on a valve adjustment. Love the channel and all of the help you provide!!
Keep bring us more s54 diy videos
Cant stress enough legit use the OEM gasket i had an aftermarket one it looked exactly the same as the factory one but would not work. seems other people on the forums bring up the same issue
Really interessting to see you work. Thx for sharing.
Thanks for the videos!
This is amazing. Thank you!
Great job! Nicely done ✅
If you have a chance, try to make some DIY videos on E46 all wheel drive models, for example the transfer case and the front drive axle maintenance :-)
Hi Jason love your videos this is my first post ever on UA-cam and was so happy to see your shop is near by me I was wondering if you do valve stem seal replacement for e66 2007 bmw 750li and if so rough estament please keep up with your hard work with these awesome videos please.
awesome! You can go to my website www.shoplifetv.com and fill out the appt request form so that I can give you a call and we can talk about it
Great job, thanks
Also can u do a video on how to do a center support bearing please ?
I need to do the vanos "bullet proofing" and a valve adjustment on my S54, but I'm extremely intimidated. I'm anxious to see your vanos vids.
gr9w some
Are you going to make a part (2) of this video showing how to refit the valve cover in details like you did in this video,showing everything including the most important things which torque spec. involved to tight it right.
You showed that you can inspect the exhaust hub tab, but what about the other hub tab? Can you spin the crank til it rotates enough for visual inspection?
2 Questions:
1. I REMOVED ALL 6 IGNITION COIL AND
FORGET TO LABEL WHERE EACH
COME FROM. HOW DO I FIND OUT
OR DOESN'T MATTER? I WANT TO
REPLACE WITH ALL NEW 6 COILS.
2. WHEN I REPLACED WITH ALL NEW 6
IGNITION COILS AND WENT TO
START THE ENGINE, I HEAR LOUD
BANG SOUNDS AND ENGINE
WOULDN'T CRANK. SO I TRY TO
TROUBLESHOOT BY REMOVING ALL
THE IGNITION COILS AND
SPARKPLUGS I SEE FUEL FLOODS IN
SPARKPLUGS HOLES 5 & 6.??????
AND SEE FUEL LEAK FROM THE
UNDER THE CAR ALONG THE
HEADER PIPE CONNECTED. WHAT
DID IT HAPPEN? DID I BLOW
SOMETHING UP😢😟??????
APPRECIATES YOUR FEEDBACK.
LOVES TO WATCH YOUR CHANNELS
TO THE POINT AND CLEAR
CONTENTS. PLEASE KEEP THE E46
CONTENTS COMING.
😎👍
Hey man!
MY e46 suddendly revs really loud and moves very slow. The fuel consumption has increased by 70%.
Sometimes, the gear display shows the settings sign and i have to turn the ignition off a couple of times before it displays "P" for park.
Again, speed meter wont drive past 140km hr . I am a Nigerian and here there's no such thing as over speed. Also, BMW parts here are very hard to find, then again when you find them, the prices are insanely high.
Exhaust fumes escapes into the car when you turn on the air condition.
I LOVE MY E46. its a 320i
Ankur, I'm hoping you read this..I'm in the middle..of swapping the engine in my 530i from 2003 M54 b30 to 2004 330xi m54 e46. I just wanted to double check..my harness will be fine right? (Obviously I swapped pickup tubes and oil pans, but is that everything? They have done cool tunes etc?)
Thanks brother!
Paul
oh snap, I didn't realize that those washers on the banjo bolt had to be replaced everytime it's removed... so you essentially can't do this job without having these washers on hand since most valve cover kits I've seen don't come with these washers :(
I need to know where to get those washers.. :( or at least what they are called. I can't seem to find them. Any ideas?
Valve adjustment DYI!!! My lifters are noisy (need this done) . Would like to do it myself !
Filming it today ;)
@@ShopLifeTV can you link it I’m having a hard time finding the video
Jason, can you do a vid on the proper way to replace the vanity cover badge? I bought a new badge but the existing badge is really stuck in place. Is it necessary to remove the vanity cover to replace the badge? Anyway, really great vid 👍👍 Thank you 🙏
Can you stop hitting Selena in the face, LOL. All kidding aside, great DIY!
Hahaha she was fine I just hit the camera lens! Thanks man
Is it mandatory to use the new grommets and spark plug tube seals everytime or can you just change the gasket?
Is that plastic piece that the O2 sensor wiring runs through, part of the harness or is it a separate piece you can order?
Man it sucks I was literally charged 1k for this and the cvp replacement.... need to learn to do this
Excellent vid Jason, thank you 🙏🏻 👍 .....Do you have a vid on replacing the oil filter housing gasket for an M3? I haven’t been able to find one anywhere.
What are the washers for the banjo bolts called? I have t been able to find any of them
Do you have any idea how to get rid of the tpms error symbol on the dash without buying new tyre sensors?
Hey man, great video. Would this be similar to a replacement in the s55 engine in the 2015 F80? My car is making a whining noise. It stops when I open the oil cover, seems the PCV valve isnt sealed anymore and there is air coming out. BMW dealer is asking 2k to repair (car is already out of warranty)
Hello shop life I just replaced my valve cover gasket on my 2007 bmw 328 I e 90 n52. I put everything back together and my car started running really bad a lot of oil dropped to the bottom but I seen no leaks on the gasket and also got a p1415 code. Any suggestions?
Hello, I'm doing a swap from M54 b30 (03 530i) to m54 e46 (04 330xi). Other than the oil pan, pickup tube, and dip stick, is my (530i) harness plug and play? I thought it was but there are some slight differences (like the sec air etc.) They both have same coil tubes...thanks brother!
Paul
How much did u charge the costumer around ? $_____
Do you have the part number for the banjo bolt orings?
Hi bro. Got a E90 325i 2009. Any light you can shed on PCV changeout. Apparently i need to have the whole assembly (gasket cover) changed out. And have quoted me $1700AUD. Thoughts?
Where can I buy the banjo bolt washers?
Turkish subtitle PLEASE !! :(
U forgot to put the toque
Is this guy a real mechanic or hobbit
I like BMW, but god they can't seal an engine for their lives.
EnclaveGames someone had previously taken off this valve cover & put RTV silicone on the gasket. Bmw does not use that stuff from the factory
I can't imagine how stupid bmw designing their cars !!! The same time for changing spark plugs on bmw you can do a timing belt job on toyota or honda in addition toyota gonna last longer
Do you have the part number for the banjo bolt o rings?
I think this is it. 32411093597
