My line just bursted Monday and towed it to my house. Did my research and ran into this video and saw your comment! I hope BMW will fix it at no charge. I will keep you guys updated!
I'm a BMW tech, and these coolant hoses were an EXTREMELY common failure on the B46 and it was made into a recall very quickly. I've probably done 25+ of these lines and I've only been there for about a year.
@@SkydexFPSIt's not hard, but it's a bit of a tight squeeze to get the coolant to connect on the engine block. part is cheap and labor is 30 mins if you know what youre doing. Seen some guys bang this job out in 15 mins or so.
Thanks for the excellent video. I was alarmed by this issue from lots of videos on line so I managed to get after market machined Aluminium connectors and high pressure silicone hose online, and made my own. I believe this can completely resolve this problem, as the the BMW replacement looks just the same as the old one. I am not comfortable with these plastic components working under high temperature. I had one charge air line (plastic) cracked and leaked oil on to the alternator belt , causing the belt to snap and the car being towed.
I’m a great believer in BMW service and extended warranty. You get stuck on the road then press that button in the roof and speak to someone who will help you. I ran my 330i for over 6 years and had no problems.
Had this issue on my 18 330i at 50,000kms (31K miles) last week. My warranty ended in January this year, but since this issue is related to the recall for the ac line, the BMW dealership fixed it at no cost. Pretty happy with their service considering I didn't have an appointment and ended up getting my car back in 3 days.
True!! Just happened to me. Mine overheated and left me stranded on the highway. Cost me $125.00 to take my 330i to my house on a flatbed tow truck. Had to drive 150 miles to get the hose. Luckily it was easy to replace watching UA-cam videos. Not a reliable part on an expensive car.
Happened to me during the road trip and I was 80 miles aways from my home. I had to tow the car back home and luckily I figured out what happened. Went to the dealer to get the original part the guy at the counter said this is a known issue and I looked at him like wtf. They said the newer version of this pipe is fine and BMW has changed the design whatever but I highly doubt it. I didn't get it fixed from the dealer because they quoted me £400 to out the pipe back 😂 my mechanic did it for you for £70. The reach to the other end is very tricky you will have to remove the bit pipe and open the Air intake bolts to get to the pipe so yea it will take a professional about an hour or so to get the job done! Hope it helps.
Killing it with the videos man, keep it up I enjoy each one!! Just picked up a 2018 330Ix m sport... Had it for 2 weeks then I hit a pothole on the highway last week and dented the crap out of my rim and blew my tire up. I've got pothole ptsd now lol.
This happened in my 2018 330i. I took it to the dealership and they fixed it. Thank god I had the maintenance plan with them just in case. Im 99.9 percent sure it was this exact issue. It was leaking every time I topped it off.
Hi Ayman, I have been watching your videos for a while and just wanted to say awesome content on the 330i. I was just wondering why did you remove the BMS intake? And would it be possible if you make a video installing this pipe? Much appreciate it
Replaced by myself - 20 min and i am total amateur, bought another one in case sth happen on the road. There is fantastic short guide of how to replace it on YT, cannot find it now.
Pretty sure this happened to my 2016 330i M Sport here in Australia. Massive coolant leak they replaced the pipe/hose then pressure tested and every line leaked. $2357 AUD as no recall in Australia. Feel like this is not just wear and tear and should be covered. Still have to replace the Vanos and the IDrive headunit as that has failed also.
Hey everyone, hopefully you found this helpful! If you did, please drop it a like! It wasn't meant to be more of a warning but if you guys would like a DIY, please let me know
Do you live in EU or US? The last time I asked, like one year ago, here in italy there was no recall for this (there is a recall for egr fire hazards on diesel engines, but that's another story)
I’m having this issue on my ‘19 530. They “fixed it” once and I kept complaining because the coolant was getting low and now it’s gotten worse and I’m out of warranty.
Thanks for this video. Once you have this coolant vent hose replaced, is it unlikely to occur again? In other words, are you aware of any cases where this exact part has had to be replaced multiple times on the same vehicle?
Had to replace mine around 1.5 years ago and it started leaking again yesterday (thus me being here to investigate further the cause) seems that it would be a common issue and I'm planning to keep a spare available to replace once per year just to avoid being in a bad situation in the middle of nowhere.
Had that pipe burst literally 2 days after I had bought my 2016 430i GC back in 2020.... this is the stupidest thing BMW does, I was even considering to have a custom copper pipe instead of OEM crap when fixing it :D
Ya mine cracked by the coolant tank. BMW fixed right away. Super common from the factory. They say the coolant isn’t properly vacuumed or something. I would just do a flush right away and fill it back up. Super easy to do.
This happened with me last summer .. I was driving back from work and the car overheated and went on limp mode.. back then I didn’t know what was the exact problem , so I took it to a bmw mechanic. The mechanic claimed that it was major and he said that I need a full replacement of a water pumps and the hoses .. he said that he checked it and showed me some bull shit data .. and quoted me $4500 !!

I bought the part from the dealer and fixed it my self .. it cost me only $70 ..
Honestly, I’m so glad you didn’t just trust that mechanic. That’s an insane quote. Doing just a bit of research before literally saved you thousands. Good stuff man!

Hey! They will usually break by the ends, not the middle. I believe they actually issued a recall for this so you should be able to get it replaced at a local dealership for free now!
51k miles on my ‘17 330i. Been running it with bm3 for the last 30k. I did have a coolant leak from this but just got the recall done and it’s running smooth. I should be good for another 50k 😅
Lucky guy. I have the same car & year but my DME was locked. Sent it to Kies to unlock it and finally went stage 2 about three weeks ago after having the car for 2 years lol.
If you made it to 50k miles just get ready to change it cause it WILL break. There's a DIY video on UA-cam that shows how to replace it by just removing the bracket. Also, it's good to bleed the cooling system after replacing.
Mine broke on my 2018 430 literally a week before my warranty ended all my coolant leaked out completely thankfully it was fixed by bmw and they even gave me a 2022 430 to drive around while they fixed it
@@ayyyman_ when it happened I had around 56-58k miles on the car. My father did most of the work since he is a mechanic. he removed the chargepipe, heat shield, timing belt, water pump wheel, and loosened a bolt that holds what I assume is the alternator to get to the end of the other side of the hose. From there just put everything back together, refill the coolant with original bmw blue coolant mixed with water 50/50.

@@OblivvOfficial besides the headlight the car has been super reliable and fun to drive. Maintenance can be pricey if you go to the dealer so I would recommend you find a reputable bmw shop around your location.
The kicker is, BMW knows the part is bad from the factory. They replaced the original part with a newer part with a different part number, apparently from what I’ve read it’s a different plastic that is less susceptible to chemical & heat degradation. Was also told by a BMW tech that if I would have purchased my car from the dealership where I had some warranty work done they would have replaced it without asking before it became a problem. Not sure if that is the case but the dealership doesn’t have a great rep for general customer support unless you purchase from them……..even though it was a BMW under warranty!!!!! Not gonna bad mouth them by name cause the one service rep that helped me out the second time was awesome, the first one half ass’d the job it seemed.

@@OblivvOfficial besides the headlight the car has been super reliable and fun to drive. Maintenance can be pricey if you go to the dealer so I would recommend you find a reputable bmw shop around your location.
@@Drew25441 Appreciate it and will definitely look into it. Definitely going to be stoked if I end up do purchasing it.
I have the same car
More videos pls
Working on it 😎
Mines is at 97k and never broke when I got the car around 20k mines and never been broke knock on wood
That’s honestly great to hear! Gives me more faith in these cars lol
Mine popped just after 42k
42K miles, good to know! Which end cracked?
@@ayyyman_ motorside
Mine went at 44k
The kicker is, BMW knows the part is bad from the factory. They replaced the original part with a newer part with a different part number, apparently from what I’ve read it’s a different plastic that is less susceptible to chemical & heat degradation. Was also told by a BMW tech that if I would have purchased my car from the dealership where I had some warranty work done they would have replaced it without asking before it became a problem. Not sure if that is the case but the dealership doesn’t have a great rep for general customer support unless you purchase from them……..even though it was a BMW under warranty!!!!! Not gonna bad mouth them by name cause the one service rep that helped me out the second time was awesome, the first one half ass’d the job it seemed.
What is the name / part number for this pipe please? I am looking for it
