Wow! I love the fast pace, but still very thorough.
Thank you Brian!
A great video to start off the work week👌🏻
Great video, thanks a bunch!
Your video is great im replacing everything just like you did but im also replacing the power steering pump at the same time on my 325ci. Thanks to your upload i realized that i can actually do this job instead of paying a shop. Thank you!
Pñpñpp!ññññññññññññññññpññ
Great informative video 👍
According to OEM diagram, smaller radiator adjusting screw is for the manual transmision.
Subscribed and liked!
Brain Fleming awesome thank you!
Your good do more video’s
Great detail video super,,, do you have one for head gasket removal? E46 M54
Roosevelt Moreno I don’t have a video on the head gasket. Sorry
@@HowtoAutomotive the petcock valve is leaking,, brand new is the one came with it they did send another short one i saw that is for automatic transmission could that be it the one is mounted on could be the wring one i use the 22inch sock it to turn but it keeps turning could be i broke it?
Any tips on getting that very bottom hose to go fully into the radiator. Mine is being very stubborn 😂
Same
The longer drain plug/petcock is for automatic transmissions!! Hopefully you switched them around before you do damage.
thanks hey, i followed this video, i now have to change it.
@@nyashamvuraichana9998 Be careful on some aftermarket radiators that might need the shorter or longer plugs for automatic transmissions. Be sure they come with precise instructions.
Thank you
Brian I am stumped on the process of removing the fan/clutch assembly. I'm working on a 2003 BMW 325i auto and rwd. Everything I have read and seen shows the fan to spin clock-wise (reverse thread as you mentioned) to be removed. I do not have that specific tool set for removing the fan as you did, but I have used an air hammer and also a large pair of groove joint pliers and the fan nut still will not budge, even after spraying it down with penetrant spray. But, I also found out the engine rotates clock-wise and it was confirmed when I bumped the ignition key a few times and the engine fan rotated clock-wise (toward the driver-side of the vehicle). What am I misunderstanding?
DID YOU EVER FIGURE THIS OUT?
@@tywins3669 buy the tool
My plate keeps leaking, after 2 weeks of installing it. What are your thoughts?
Love your video, but the bottom plastic that clips into the radiator you installed incorrectly. As shown in the video, insert the upper portion first, then the bottom, you will see sort of loops which should be compressed, and then the lower part will clip in. Took me a while to figure this out as I purchased a new plastic part, among others, when I replaced my radiator.
???? Time stamp!?? Please
So they still go in between i camt get mine to fit for shit and i dont wanna bend it
I installed aftermarket radiator with short drain plug because it’s manual but it still leaks, as if the drain plug isn’t blocking it off,, any answers?
Well I assumed you got the long boy you needed, lmfao the longer one looked mad short when I got mine so I didn’t change it and turns out it just all leaked out cuz my auto had the manual cap so I just switched em( the longer and short one came with the radiator)
Question Is this car with a manual or automatic transmission?
automatic. manual doesn't have the dreaded fan clutch, or a thermostat under the expansion tank
any body know why mine after all this won't start
My car is a 525i
i need help
Unfortunate that the young kid that owns the vehicle does not have the space, tools, or confidence to do the work himself. I have purchased a used 2001 BMW 330Ci and am gradually restoring and doing preventative maintenance, and I have found the vehicle to be very well designed from the maintenance perspective. Anybody with a reasonable amount of skill and tools should be able to work on these vehicles.
100% agree
