Brake Fluid: you can depend it leaking out when you service it. MUST HAVE ON HAND: Blue shop towels, old torn tshirts, ETC. You cant skip the dry air test. You can figure out what adapter o-ring works best. Pressure up to 12psi. 15 psi is gonna bust the typical 7 year old car seals.

Then I have the same error. I replaced the torque converter i changed flex disc and f.... car still vibrates when i punch the gas I'll try this if it doesn't work I'll burn it! btw 530d 2004y.........

This video was awesome! Now that we know is not the turboes, lets upgrade them to get to 400hp. 😂😂

Gotta love the bmw 335is

Alec, your skill and perserverance with this car has just brought a massive smile to MY face as well. I am very happy that you sorted this out, and thank you for sharing the joy as well as the pain :)

Super happy for you, bro! Time to go get some tacos!

Great Job dude!!!!!!! ur awesome keep it up

Super great video!!!😊

So long story story just smoke test all 335i out the gate 😂😂😂😂

Nice ❤

Nice work! Great to see hard work and troubleshooting paying off! Inspired to get rolling on my N54 E90 engine build.

Awesome feeling solving an issue that’s been kicking your ass. Way to persevere!

Atta Boy, Alec!

Great job man, it's so cool to see you work through that issue & get the job done! I'm super gassed for you. As someone who is working on my own car it's very refreshing to see that sometimes the diagnosis doesn't always work first time, story of my life 😆

I wouldn’t even put a aftermarket oil cooler on these cars anything aftermarket is Chinese crap.

Hell yeah Alex!!! Way to go brother, really enjoyed watching this. In hindsight it's so obvious, isn't it? Not building boost - waste gate malfunction. But it's always easy once we know the answer. That's why I think good mechanics are so underrated. Like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes, and some issues it takes a real "Dr. House" to get to the bottom of. Looking forward to the next episode!! Wish I could invite you for a (physical) beer some time, but maybe I'll just join your patreon or something instead. Cheers!!

Awesome work Alec! Knew you’d figure it out. Bet you’re much more stoked about working on its other needs now. Excited to see further work on this project. Be well my friend!

What diagnostic software (and odb scanner) are you using? Love the vids keep up the great content!

Congratulations Man!!!!! I'm happy for you

Great job! Enjoying and looking forward to your vids!

Dude, try rock auto for hard parts liek oil pan, or ECS tuning, ( ECS tuning has bremmen oil pan for 206 shipped, Rock auto is actually more expensive for once, which i got the M3 control arms from Delphi for the rear from rock auto, plus new bilstein B4 sport suspension rear shocks for just over 300 shipped.)

ignore the pluasability code, just make sure i's above 50 PSI under WOT, and HPFP is over 1500, i have it as a shadow code. but my specs are good, with mid 1700 high side lowest, and 58 PSI lowside at lowest reading. And FYI, the lowside PCV ( the PCV under the plastic cap on the Bremmen valve cover) is TRASH, compelte utter and TOTAL trash, i took mine out, heated up the end cap to loosen the loctite, and took the cap off, and replaced the guts and cap with a VTTO PCV ( cause the VTTO PCV won't fit into the bremmen lowside PCV bore. ) anyway right next to what you thought was the PCV is a black plastic cap, it's a 10 MM unscrew it, pull otu the valve and blow into the thin side, if it blows right through, your PCV is like how mine was, total trash.. and what you thought was PCV is actually high side flapper valve. the rear turbo under boost keeps the crankcase in slight vacuum while pulling air through a tiny hole in the flapper valve. i also replaced the plastic PCV cap with a metal aluminum one from Nicecnc on Ebay. screwed in great, sealed up great. And no, that is not cinnamon, it's Dakota/Tan, i have a E90 with the same interior, and 6 speed as well.

Good job bro

Broo I’ve just opened CZcams and seen this post but I don’t have time to watch the vid until tonight! I’m really excited

Nice job. Question though when you say wastegate actuator, do you mean vacuum solenoids?

Love the vid!
