Thanks! very self explanatory it helped out alot bcuz of how u showed n explained it I think I could do myself instead of having my BF doing it it doesn't seem to hard, I've done an oil change now I'll give this a try, yes please have more on connecting hoses or putting in a new thermostat or possibly something bout heater core
Nathan, thanks to the 50's kid videos, I've tried spraying silicone on the hoses. It works fantastic. Give it a shot. Thanks for your videos!
Nathan - Dude, I cannot thank you enough for this video. So helpful and very well explained. Exactly the same for my wife's 2001 BMW X5 (hunk of shit)... None the less, getting it going with the heater on definitely allowed me to get the system bled good, most of the air out. I will say, I cranked up the passenger side to 90° also - and the level dropped even more - So for what that's worth - I think that helped bleed it more thoroughly - and get even more air out.
Thanks again - and to some of the comments below, Prestone is what I use also. In my opinion, if the coolant system is full and not leaking, I believe I am good... Remember the car is 17 years old...
Thank you, I was having a hard time taking it off. I was starting to wonder if I was doing it right.
Very informative, comprehensive and concise. Thank you.
Nathan in another of your vids like this you mentioned plastic sides of radiator can be re-crimped. How would one do that process? do you have a video on this? do you have one on how to remove radiator? thanks. your videos are awesome!!!!
That's for the video Nathan
You are the man!
Nathan great vid...

Thanks for making all these helpful vids for us broke bmw dummies. Yeah, that's pretty much every single subscriber. It's OK though, that's what makes UA-cam awesome... My question is, Does it matter what kind of grease you use to "ease" the hose install? I saw in another one of your videos, you swore by WD40. And, 50skid used silicone. And, all to help with the ease of installation. But, I have read grease also helps seal the grommets to the mating surface. Since having an issue with new hose leaking, with multiple installs, I've been wondering if there is a safe and not safe grease to use. Or, if any are better than the others for this job. Thanks again for your time in putting together these videos for us. =)
"Ever so gently, keep working it". Advice that got the job done.
Nice job being straightforward.
Harbor Freight has a 16 piece radiator and coolant test pressurizing kit. i found my leak with it. with a 20% off coupon it was about $70. Auto zone had nothing to loan out. they would sell me one. didnt look like adapters would fit BMW Reseviour filler. Advanced Auto had none. O'Reileys had one took home did not fit. so went with harbor freight.
You do not need to completely remove the bleed screw. You turn it anti-clockwise till it is raised by 2mm approximately and just fill the coolant, once the coolant starts oozing out, just tighten it up. Should use geniune coolant to reduce corrosion.
just replaced my radiator on my e36 uploading video rn! but mines was destroyed by my clutch fan blades smfh .. going electric!
No issue to bent the clip ? If you already push down before insert in ? I will try have audi same clip new hose but want clip but tried to push with clip up !
My e46 is losing coolant fairly fast and after running for about 10 minutes it smokes from the hood but not the exhuast and I believe it’s coming from my top hose is that possible!
Top hose isnt snapped in properly over coolant resovoir probably. U figure it out?
Mine is stuck good and I have nothing to pry against so maybe I will just leave it and hope the vw coolant and distilled water dissolves whatever is making it stick so bad, and try again in 2 years or so, since my old hose looks and feels fine after 13 years. It's as if somebody used epoxy instead of lithium grease. I use sil-glide btw, or sometimes tire shine. what does the factory use? nothing?

my upper hose has a small leak. hose is stuck good. dont want to damage radiator. so i'm thinking of pulling the metal wire clips all the way out. then with a dremel roto tool and a fiber cutting blade carefully cutting through the plastic ends of the hoses. being careful to not cut into resiviour hose neck. the hose it is going to be tossed out so i can use a screwdriver to split the hose ends when the dremel is close to cutting thru. well thats my plan
Hi Nathan. I am seeing conflicting procedures on bleeding coolant on my 2002 X5 with a M54 engine. I have not replace hoses or anything recently but my heater was only working sometimes this winter. I checked the coolant level and it was low. I added enough coolant to come out of the bleed screw but it made the coolant go to the top of the fill pipe. Since I didn't replace hoses do I need to siphon off some to just make the float rise to full? Thanks
Alan Here just follow the bleed procedure in the video, if there is any question do the complete bleed procedure, if your heat is not working it probably is the heater valve on the driver strut tower
Thanks for your quick reply. One more quick question. If I do get to much coolant in there can it damage the system?
No it will vent out if the bottom of the cap
Hey Nathan, I'm doing the timing chain guides on an M62tu and came across an issue, the bank 1 exhaust sprocket can't be turned, and we've already put so much pressure on it we spun the sprocket without the cam turning. I was wondering what the best way would be to remove this, and if you've ever had this issue before. Thanks!
MI6 hello no I have not had that problem, are you turning it by the big nut in the middle of the cam, is the valve hitting the piston ?
Turning the t-55, it's locked at tdc, so I don't imagine it would be hitting. All three other t-55s came out fine on the VANOS and bank 2 exhaust..
Guessing I'm going to have to get a new camshaft.
I have a 325i there's steam coming out from the upper radiator hose what could cause this do I need a new upper hose ?
Chuy 5.7 a leak somewhere In the system. The system is pressurised to keep it from boiling.
Thanks
What kind of hoses do you recommend if you’re not going OEM?
I have been buying Gates from amazon
What if it still leaking and it's new connector
Please, can you help me I have bmw e38 735i timing belt does not move you to please add translation into Arabic
Is the lower radiator hose easy to remove and replace?
Andrew Parker it’s an absolute bitch to take off and replace
Shouldn't you be using the blue BMW coolant?
Thats what I was thinking!
I thought you have to replace O ring whenever you remove a hose??
Yea so did the new one come with new o rings or did he use the old ones I'm assuming there is 3 of them?
I have a z4 and can not get the 4th hose off, the car your working on doesn’t have. Do you have any tips?
Yes use a small pry bar or large flat screwdriver and gently pry it off once the clip is up, carefully not to pry against the plastic side of the radiator, you can also use penetrating oil or wd40 to spray around the fittings that might loosen it up
Ok thank you, I also just realized I will have to take off a metal piece of my car I’m not really sure what it is, I’m only 15, but I will need to take it off to get the other hose off. But thank you.
Nathan's DIY Garage I might just take it to a shop and let them do it.
They might mess it up worse than you could ever do , I would just take your time and get it done
Nathan's DIY Garage ok thanks
Looking for other that replaced the smooth RING that fixes the hose to the snap lock fittings, (it's actually just slipped on there, with no holding force!) because it just opened and spewed out all the coolant 1h from home..
What a crappy design, it's just a press fit! Getting a REAL clamp on it now, hope it stays on and that the other end don't open up too.. (Never seen something like this, thanks for the 'joy', BMW! Back to my Audis!)
Isnt that the wrong coolant ?
Your vids are voted
Goated
And now my fan is making a weird noise
Ok I need help 😂, so the other day I was running without coolant and dat little hose pop out and I try to put it but it won’t go all the way in and I try driving while it was half in then it pop out sum 1 help 😂😂😂😂!!
sell your car and buy a bus pass.
D. L. For sure
That "crack" in the hose is not a crack you dummy. It's the joint line when the hose is manufactured. Good video though, helpful.
