Another great DIY video, especially on the IBS replacement. Please correct me if I'm incorrect, but "registering" does 2 things. 1. registers in the memory when the service was done (new battery install) and 2. erases the current rolling 5 day histogram of the SOC (state of charge), so it can build a new 5 day rolling histogram of SOC. Coding is only needed if you change the type of battery (AGM or Acid) &/or a different aH rating battery than what was originally coded for the car. Thanks for the post & keep the videos coming!
What i noticed on my 188.777 BMX X5 xdrive30i 3.0L when I bought it came with a lot of records and a few problems but i found that the actual OIL cap was replaced because of the high amount of mileage between changes. I've never bought a replacement cap myself but that ring on my cap was also rock hard and upon further inspection i determined it to be a stock plastic ring. Probably another over engineered aftermarket part or maybe from BMW. Needless to say i also broke off the plastic ring and put on the rubber seal that came with the oil filter. Thanks for making these videos because its really hard to find BMW advice.
Excellent Video Tim, again you give everything in educational detail and always a great explanation to all that you do!, ty get this vehicle done and get another "project vehicle" on the go ,man excellentl!! ty
When changing the IBS do you need to reprogram the battery because it’s a new sensor or does it automatically charge like it’s suppose to after you replace it?
2013 X5 35i. 145,000mi. Excellent condition. On a trip this weekend car started hesitating/stuttering when accelerating at speed...say trying to pass from 50-60. Press accelerator and car hesitates/bucks. Spark plugs and coils? Something else? Thank you!
Scan it, most common and first thing i would look into is if ignition coils, most likely one failed and causing a misfire, but get it scanned don’t shoot in the dark
I have one question which fluid can I use for power steering because the reservoir said ATF on top green paper but if you look under the green paper said CHS11 I have same BMW X5 2008 3.0si e70 can you tell me why
I have a question regarding the a/c pressure switch...is it true that the a/c system has to be evacuated before replacing this switch?..I've heard the port it threads into is like a schrader valve, so it would close itself off...but I also keep hearing it will let freon escape, so I'm not sure what's true...if you know for sure, I'd appreciate it
Can’t say for sure as I don’t really work on a/c systems but it only makes sense that it will drain the system if you remove the sensor I doubt there is a valve there
@@Zeiten the reason the schrader valve can make sense is bcuz since it's a 'pressure switch'; it's checking the pressure(high side) like on a tire, but to determine if the compressor should engage...and the part itself(64539323658) has a center hole, where a valve stem could enter, once threaded...I've just never received a consistent answer regarding this...and I'd hate to have to pay an a/c shop to evacuate the system to replace a part that would take 5min otherwise...and then pay to have it refilled(speaking of, that's a pressure valve on the low side)...but that's classic bmw, take something simple and make it tedious...thanks anyway...appreciate your vids
Hi brother! I'm living in Tanzania, I own 2009 BMW×5 3.0i XDRIVE sometime the temperature goes up to 35°c what kind of oil do you recommend? 5w-30 or 5w-40? Thanks.
Hi Tim, I have the same x5 3.0 2008 & since I got it a year ago I’ve had sound issues especially after a car wash or rainy days. My radio has no sound at all & the master control for the windows & side view mirrors don’t function. I the it may be a ground issue. Any ideas?
What scanner do you use? I have m54 330i e46 which i use DIS and fairly familiar with that and working on the car. Bought a e70 n63 2011 2yrs back got the updated bmw diagnostic software but has not used it yet other than the initial install. So curious what is less intimidating. Really like your videos as well
@@Zeiten Replaced my waterpump/Tstat 3 months ago and I got the warning few nights that X5 was over heating so I had it towed to shop and today they called me and said my battery is bad/wasn’t registered. Battery was replaced in 2019 and they said my IBS sensor is bad so it might have shorted my waterpump. Never had any starting issues with the car and never got warning on my dash about a bad battery. So I’m really confused.

I’d say you are correct, but agm to agm still needs registration to at least update service info but still also for most efficient charging
I bought the bm700 scanner and it's giving me an error no communication with ibs or engine. The car starts but battery drain. It's a new battery.
Well replace ibs
@@Zeiten Thank you.
How did you diagnose that the iBS needed to be replaced on this vehicle?
I'm not brave enough to pour oil like that! I have a 2013 E70, glad you have one too, thanks!
your vids are great m8 helped me replace so much on my x5 saved me a fortune

It wasn’t a plastic ring, it was so old that rubber became like plastic
@@Zeiten Thanks!

waiting for the next videos, wishing all the best!!!
Thank you🙌
Simple and easy vid! Does not seem simple first time to do it. Thanks.
Happy to help!
Nice video, i am purchasing a 2008 x5 tomorrow. A wee bit nervous.
Good video Tim...When you flip the X5 will all subscribers get a share haha!!
😂 good try😂

Hi have questions we’re located the glows plugs module in this vehicle can you please 🙏 tell me where’s located.
Don’t work on diesels at all, so can’t help you there
@@Zeiten my is not diesel is gasoline
@walterserrano4930 then you don’t have glow plugs
I have one question which fluid can I use for power steering because the reservoir said ATF on top green paper but if you look under the green paper said CHS11 I have same BMW X5 2008 3.0si e70 can you tell me why
Use chf-11, in older bmws transmission fluid was used in power steering systems (dexron 6) so consider it “hello” from the past😂
So you think is good idea to flush the system just in case the previous owner put different fluid
Honestly nothing will happen if you mix them but sure flush it if you can
@@Zeiten thanks 🙏
Anytime😉

5w-30 will be just fine
@@ZeitenThanks so much brother!
Awesome man, you’re not gonna change the water pump. I’ve read they always leak?
Reading is good but reading rumors don’t do you any good😁😉 cooling system on this one is ok, only fix things that are broken

Well check your footwell module probably gets flooded, check your door seals and drain passages under the hood
Nice player , keep it up , very instructive not like some beta mechanic videos

Thank you, icarsoft bmm v2.0 is great, i also have v3.0 but it’s painfully slow although has more functions
Can IBS kill water pump?
2009 bmw X5
In theory possible
@@Zeiten should I replace the IBS before I attempt to replace the water pump?
Why? Is there any indication that ibs is faulty?
