Will this Cheap Magnetic Drain Plug from Amazon Work on a BMW X5 Front Differential?
zhlédnutí 202Před 10 měsíci
Despite the scary looking oil in that diff, it's tight and doesn't make noise. I think most of it is old oil sludge (the dark stuff) but there is some steel in it too. I'll update if/when it fails. Also, the drain plug probably works fine on the larger rear differentials and the manufacturer does not advertise it to fit the E70 X5. Drain Plug (Affiliate Link): amzn.to/473soYd

I swap the factory N54 MSD80 DME, which is known for IGBT or mosfet coil driver failures, for a used MSD81 ECU from a junkyard 535i, program it, and code the fuel injectors with INPA. CGDI is able to extract the ISN and write it to the CAS module so that EWS still works and the car will start.

Nice explain please can you send the original file to me and thanks
Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the build.You do a good job of conveying information.
hello, would you mind sharing your tune files?
Please get in touch I would like to order some units from you
Lol no one fucking showd how to remove the godamn hose
This is sick. Are you in Chesapeake va? I’m in vb and have a rhd e36
Hi friend,I wanted to ask what windows this program works with, is there anything specific about the installation? Thanks👍🙏👍🙏
Straight to the point and helped me easily thank you
Very helpful. The entire process took less than 45 mins
Where did you get the controller at
Very good video pal
Thank you. Dealing with this now.
Need me to show you how to drive that clutch son? For fucksake
Lol. Its a twin that bites pretty well, the engine isn't tuned and it has tall gears in the rear until we swap them. Its not exactly like driving a normal car.
Thank you. Following your instructions, replacing the drivers door grip was a piece of cake.
I know this is an old video but I need help pairing a separate CAS and DME to my car that did not have one. Is this something you could help with?
I currently don't offer this as a service. If you are completely out of luck I might be able to arrange something. Right now i don't even know if my CGDI is currently licensed :-/ hope you figure it out!
Zero prep
I cleaned it in the prior video but this wasn't a full dye job. Its holding up fine.

Good work👍 Any details on the throttle body adapter? Where can I get it from? I am considering N52 TB on a M54B30 engine (custom built) since the Dinan option is no longer available.
I have a revised version of the TB adapter ready to go with 10 units set aside for early sale. Sorry been really busy! The legal side of this is harder than anything else.

From the Tecomotive website : Since around March 2024, the CWA400 only supports control via LIN bus. Pierburg is now installing new internal electronics, which can no longer be controlled via PWM
oh interesting, well I have full bi-directional LIN control working for BMW water pumps. The LIN messages will be vendor specific though. We're also adding this to a racecar and I have a proof of concept controller - I'm trying to get the controller released but am really busy between my day job and moving. I'll keep you all posted.
can you do video using ESYS , inpa ?
Well done
Im running this pump with a basic amazon rotary switch PWM. Tried it the same as you, left controller ground disconnected, this is actually the only way it would slightly work. My problem is when the switch is turned all the way up, the pump is off/low speed. Switch turned off is high speed on the pump. Would you be able to help me with this? Car is a street/drag car. Want to be able to control the speed manually
What timeline do you have?
У меня точно такие же проблемы. Как BMW могли такое сделать???!!! Спасибо тебе огромное!
Electrons are a bmitch.
If you buy a used msd81 ecu do you have to Virginize before installing it?
Not the way I did it but you do need to write the ISN into EWS.
I did more or less the same, I just bought an engine/gearbox/diff from an importer. Engine came with the loom as well as the ECU so it was super easy. My 318i was also manual so no need for any welding of brackets.
Hi there, do you ever plan to publish the LIN messages? I’m planning to use one for my racecar, but it seems that the new units dropped PWM support, so the LIN bus is the only good option to control it.
Newer CWA400s? Are they genuine? Older tech sheets on that pump published by the manufacturer show PWM support so that's surprising. I do know they offer various versions for vehicle manufacturers and that can include custom firmware which brings me to the LIN messages - they are different for different versions of the pump. At this point in time I don't intend to publish them but I will be offering a controller. I have a POC and the project was delayed by COVID supply chain issues & later moving which I'm still working on, but I'm back to making solid progress. We're also intending to use this for the E39 race car as well as my E46. I'll keep progress posted as this moves forward and should hopefully have them for sale soon but I also need to figure out the legal side which is what's holding up the throttle body adapters right now :-/
Hey - I’d love to know the link to where to buy these door handle inserts? The aftermarket piece you’ve used?
Hi @CaitlinTolone. The passenger side handle is here amzn.to/3Ob9nMe and the driver's side insert is here amzn.to/42aDwRq , both off of Amazon. The links are also in the video description. Thanks! Hope the video helped!

I add Never Seeze to the splines and never need a puller to install a new axle. BMW CV grease turns to a thin liquid BEFORE the end of the service life of the CV joints. Regularly grease (and PRE GREASE) your CV joints with Amsoil Off Road Polymeric grease which resists separation better than any other grease I know of. . That grease in Amsoil's line up comes in two versions. Buy four tubes at a time and pay only a $10 flat rate shipping charge. Amsoil has a nearby dealer who stocks what you need to MAIL the items to you FAST! Mine actually had to come from out of state. You can't just drive and get this Top Tier grease. Use the thinner NGLI #1 version for CV joints and the thicker NLGI #2 version for ball joints. You MUST pump a LOT of grease in all these fittings before you install a new part. Not only is the OEM grease not the best, they purposely use a teeny, tiny amount to aid in the PREAMTUTRE failure of the part. Last BMW ball joints I installed needed 20 pumps per ball joint to even plump up the boots. At 20 pumps they were not over filled! Buy several 18 gauge grease NEEDLES in a kit (Amazon). You can simply slip the needle past the boot collar without even having to puncture any boot. IF you are forced to puncture a boot, just seal the micro hole with a dab of fresh SHOE GOO .....NOT RTV or any type of Silicone!! A good grease gun has adjustable tip to firmly clamp down on any fitting so the grease ALL goes in to where it is supposed to go. USE that feature! I add Zerk fittings where possible to new parts before installation. Use #3 Cobalt drill bit, and a 1/4 X 28 BOTTOMING tap and Teflon tape around the Zerk threads. I install plastic Zerk fitting CAPS on all my installs. You can get ALL of the parts and tools on Amazon. Only the high quality Cobalt drill bits (came two in a container) cost anything of note. Rest of the items are dirt cheap. Use your brain and skills and not a single chip of drilled metal will end up inside your new ball joints.
Thanks for the video? Do you think the leather top coat is required?
Any chance you'd be willing to publish the LIN messages? Would love to use this pump in DIY projects.
What app are you using
It's an Android app I wrote called "Chesapeake Logger." Unfortunately Google has been kicking small developers off the Play store, including me so it's not currently available. I'm working in a solution to that which will either be a direct download or I have to reapply for the Play store and be subject to their new requirements including 20 testers before I can publish to the public app store. As a behind the scenes look, that all costs money and I am (well, was) offering these apps for free - that's where the affiliate links help!
another question when i ground the negative on the black plug, where do i ground it to, the 2 brown wires or do i ground it from the power source
ground to the power source (power supply) on the bench. On my bench supply, I have black, green, and red terminals. Black on the power supply goes to the brown wires for the black plug and red on the power supply goes to the red, red/yellow, and green wires on the plug.

Good video mate, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Attempting suicide with the dremel?
How do I de pressurize if my car won’t even start?
Assuming your car won't start because the fuel pump is dead, it's probably already depressurized. Otherwise there is normally a schraeder valve (like to add air to you tires) on the fuel rail at the engine, which you can use to depressurize the fuel system. Otherwise just be careful to catch the fuel when it comes out.
Thanks for all the info! Very detailed. I must admit it is a lot of work to do something like this, will just take my truck to bmw and hope for the best on price to replace lol 😂
Hello! Loved the video!! I have some questions hopefully you might be able to answer lol. Okay I’m going to sound like a novice but that’s because I am haha. Okay so I have a ‘05 3.0 MS43 E53 X5 and I’m pretty sure the dme has been soft failing for reasons too long to get into. Anyways, so I have a windows laptop and INPA and have done simple processes before like adaptations and reading live data so I’m not necessarily afraid to do any of this work but I also don’t want to fry anything. So, I am planning on going to one of my parts MS43 E46’s and cutting out the obd2 pigtail, dme pigtail, and possibly ews and antenna key ring pigtails as well just to possibly create an entire bench setup (but ignore the ews and antenna key ring pigtails for now, not necessarily relevant to my question). So, let’s say I get a spare MS43 3.0 X5 dme from a wrecking yard, would I be able to clone the original X5 dme to the new junkyard dme using this setup you made? I wouldn’t have the 2 x 2 volkswagen pin adapter but if I had the obd2 port pigtail cut straight from the E46 i mentioned earlier, that would practically be the same right? I’ve never done any kind of dme flashing or tuning of any sort so I’m just trying to pick your brain so I don’t mess anything up LOL. Also, would a 2.5 and 3.0 dme be the same after boot mode? Like is boot mode kind of like factory reseting and removing the engine tune/flash or does that stay? Just so I know that way I don’t grab a MS43 2.5 dme when I’m out there
Also, how would I go about the vin numbers being different too? (or is that something erased after in boot mode too)
Boot mode really isn't necessary for too much these days so you can just use ms4x flasher over the obd-2 port although the same setup I used in the video also works - you just don't need to open the DME. You can "clone" the original DME just by saving the original flash image (bin file) and writing it back to the junkyard DME. IIRC, EWS is the one thing you'd need boot mode for to properly clone, but you can just disable EWS using the community patch and avoid it altogether. Do be careful writing in boot mode as it's possible to overwrite the factory calibration, particularly the type of internal MAP sensor the DME uses, which can cause problems. Always back up the DME first even if it's a donor so that you can revert back. As for the cable, yes, you can use a pigtail and it will work great.
It's baked into the flash bin and can be updated outside of boot mode from what I recall.
Holy moly, and here I am wondering if I wanted two of these to run on my twin intercooler supercharger lid on four 16AN's.
I think two would be overkill for a supercharger. There's a smaller version of this pump used for exactly that purpose!
How did u relearn the crankshaft , camshaft position sensors and the valvetronic motor ?
I used ISTA+ but have also been writing my own tool.
Did you swap over the manual engine harness with the donor motor? What did you do with the transmission control unit / module / computer? I'm in the middle of a similar swap, swapping over the engine, harness and transmission from the manual donor and can't find an answer about what to do with the TCM. Most swappers pull a chip from it and reconnect it but I'll be using the manual car's wiring harness and want to remove the TCM entirely.
I swapped over the manual harness. Since I started with a 318i, I couldn't reuse the automatic harness if I wanted! Since you also have the manual harness, it should be plug and play except for the reverse lights and clutch switch. Good luck!
how do you know what com my dme is???
The com port is set by your computer and will vary. If you check device manager, you should see a new device show up under "ports" when you plug your cable in and that will show the com port.
Why didn't you change the MSD81 DME ISN with your old ISN instead of changing CAS ISN?
CGDI didn't support overwriting the MSD81 ISN, it's only able to overwrite the ISN in the CAS (at least when I filmed this)
Just why? How to make the engine run worse and lose power lol
This is in preparation for a turbo build where it is typical to block off the DISA valve on the factory M54 intake. I'm keeping things simple so it's easier to work on and has less potential for boost leaks. Guess what BMW did with the N54? They went with a similar manifold design to the M50 that has large runners and no DISA valve whereas the N52 had two DISA valves and a complicated manifold in the top power variant. Anyway, the cars runs great - better than it has in years with the factory setup.
Finally a man on CZcams who knows the difference between force and pressure. On the X5 F15 that third handle attachment from inside the panel is a thermally melted post, not a screw. Thx BMW. Make sure the clips are facing in the correct direction.
My trailing arm, broken half help me
If it's the pocket, you need to have it repaired or weld in new metal yourself.
@@chesapeakemotorwerks got it done but cambers wayyyy off
lol. Either the control arm is bent now or was previously bent and aligned that way. I don't think that pocket can be far enough out of position to cause major alignment problems, so you probably just need a new control arm & an alignment.
