Nose ingles pero que buen trabajo isiste y lo explicaste muy bien 🤘

PLEASE HELP! Changed my 2010 Ranger brakes and rotors…. Everything runs great…. BUT! ABS LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC SLIP light on…. rotor sensor was not damaged in process. Can someone please tell me if I need to replace the sensor or what my options are?

I got lighting system alert, and now my headlights, taillights, and dash lights don’t work, does anybody know what happened

I knew I needed to watch this. Something told me I was missing some steps and lo and behold I sure as hell was. Thank you

I just did this yesterday with my 2007, guided by my Dad's expert advice (30+ years in machine maintenance). Nice to see that this video matched with his directions 100%.

Excellent. I WOULD GIVE YOU 5 OUT OF 5 STARS.THANK YOU SO MUCH.GREAT HELP

When I was younger ppl used to refer to BMWs as Break My Wallet and Broke Man Walking and I never really thought about it until watching this video and reading every single comment. I was never into German or any Euro car for that matter so I never really dug into it. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks. The '15 f80 suspension is so poorly set up. First time I have ever run through the rears before the fronts because traction is constantly kicking in.

How did he not get electrocuted changing the filter?

Why do you see all these cars for sale around 150,000 miles. What happens at 150?

Well I might have lucked out... I own a 2008 550i M Sport now has 140,000 kms and all I've done is regular maintenance oil brakes filters Etc water pump tensioner pulleys other then that it runs strong and never had any issues . Before this I had a 2004 545i 160,000 kms and same thing no major issues just keep up with Maintenance which most people don't then they complain....

You could've at least shown the locations

Cool beans. No open fuel cap, no take out fuel fuse?

Thanks 🙏

Excellent presentation and explanation.

where is the link to the code reader you used?

Zip ties excellent you are a genius😁🔧

Probably the best explanation ever step by step. Thank you.

I just changed the wheel bearings on mine and come to find out the races was worn out.. someone told me they don't change them out just throw your new bearings in with the old races that are in the hub... yeah well that didn't work my races were warned and messed up the new wheel bearing

Are putting an anti seize on the threads?

Is fl lamp removing different than pre fl? When i used to take pre fl lamp i had to take out rims to make space

Yeah, I’ll just stay away from BMW 😅

Awesome Job on this video. This just popped up on my V8 X5. Hopefully I can figure this out.

Thank YOU! EVERY OTHER VIDEO I WATCH NOBODY MENTIONS THE SIZE OF THE SOCKET

What size are the bulbs for angel ring lights? All h7??

Thank you very much for your video. I have an F11 LCI with dynamic drive and I just want to do some preventive maintenance on it. I wanted to ask you several questions as you have struggled quite a bit with this system 🥲. - How do you drain absolutely all the oil from the circuit? From the valve box or the hose in your video, do you think it drains everything (if it's at a level with the ground so low in F11...) Is it possible to loosen the anti-roll bars tubes? Is it possible to break something 🤣? - How do you bleed or refill the circuit afterwards, so that the pumps or Dynamic Drive motors don't run without fluid, do you have to do some test/dance to make it do all the movements and refill the circuit?

Good instructions! Thanks for sharing

Liked the video. You cover a lot of the most common problems. However, you are grossly misrepresenting the TRUE cost of repairs on these cars!! I have owned a 2004 545i since 2006. The valley coolant pipe started leaking at just 33K miles , then leaked again at 94K miles!! first time under warranty the dealer had the car for 2 weeks! the second time at 94K miles the indy mechanic popped in the AGA pipe cost $2.1K total parts + labor. The dealer removed the engine, this was before the AGA pop-in style pipe was around. Then shortly after this job the transmission started leaking at around 40K, it's a plastic pan, then the second pan leak occured at 70K so only 30K miles later!!!. It has been replaced now 3 times!! car now 147K miles. The price list you show for each repair is very low(?) don't buy the cheap parts!! the cheap transmission pan made in Taiwan is crap!! Also very important ONLY USE ZF Lifeguard Trans Oil as it has special additives to preserve the fragile mechatronic lining and other small internal parts etc., the cheaper oil is not worth the risk!!! it's the labor if you don't do the job yourself. For me the coolant pipe with indy BMW mechanic was over $1,600 labor alone. The labor for the transmission pan and new mechatronic seals over $1,300. BUT, the real killer is the valve stem seals. The 550i has much better designed seals but still the N62 seals all ago out around 70k to 100K once you see the black puff of smoke after sitting at a stop light it is usually too late for your cats at a cost of $4K. PLUS all the carbon build-up in the emissions need to be cleaned out. AGA has a tool to do that but my indi mechanic said his experience was just 50/50 where you could clean all the carbon out and still have the car pass emissions or in CA smog test. He got tired of all the customers that paid big bucks after this job only to not pass smog. He from now on will only do complete removal of the cylinder head and take it to a machine shop so they can use machine tools to clean out all the carbon from the ports/tubes. I paid over $6K for that job!!! EVERY 545 / 550 will need to eventually need to have this done!!! fortunately I took my car in right away and saved my cats, if I had waited a day or two longer that cats would have been destroyed so the job would have been over $10K cost. And has to be done in States like CA otherwise you cannot pass the smog test which needs to be done to renew your registration. Hello!!! Then you look at a 545 or 550 in Autotrader and many sell for less than $10K ??? Also in my 545i the intake manifold had a vacuum leak and replaced with brand new at cost of $4k parts+labor. Have you seen the intake maniforl for 545i it's a variable intake with sensors and a propeller in it to shorten or lengthen the airway all to get about an extra ONE MPG!! Total bullshit!! Also the air pump for the emissions you hear when you cold start the car had to be replaced due to water damage over the years. That was over $600 parts+labor. THEN, after about one year after the valve-stem seal job, the engine sounded strange and apparently I took the car in just before the vanos guide rail broke apart that would have blown up my engine!! The engine had to be completely removed AGAIN and I paid over $2,800 parts, indi did it for free labor because he agreed he should have replaced the guide rails when he did the valve stem seal job. So here is the real deal owning a 545i and I change the oil every 5K miles. I forgot about the alternator bracket job, which has been done 3 times over most recently in 2018 parts + labor cost $1,045, Plus multiple oil leaks due to valve cover gasket leaks, timing chain gasket leak after leak!! I have spent over $30K in repairs+maitnenace/brakes/tires in the last 100K miles. and estimate over $60K done including up to 50K miles when car was under warranty. Now, the transmission is skipping gears a lot and starting the slight hard clunk shift when cold. Does it need a new or rebuild mechatronics or brand new tranny? My indy says not worth the cost to install rebuild mechatronics unit and related parts as likely could be the torque converter and clutches throughout the tranny. He says most likely need to replace the entire tranny. Keep in mind the car has had 4!!! 4 fluid fills of trans oil from brand new in Germany to present, and still trans is going out at just 147K miles!!! So that it!! at 147K miles the car is basically toast, should I spend $5K to $8K on new tranny + labor? when 545i's are selling in autotrader for around $5k? It only makes sense to buy these cars used if you can to all the labor yourself and you have another car!! Otherwise.... good luck Will I ever buy another BMW? HELL NO!!! A friend just bought a 2020 328 and at just 50K miles oil all over the garage floor due to valve cover gasket leak! Yep, It's a BMW alright --scheist

What catback you have? Stock?

Just wanted to add the oil on the gasket of the filter is for next time when changing the oil the gasket won't stick to the motor then when putting the new filter on it won't have two gaskets which will cause a leak

When is the next The Prestige movie coming out?

Thanks for sharing and demonstrating the video. it has been many years since ive done my own repairs cause the cost for shops is beyond my budget. But you did everything correctly and understood. Thanks

Followed this and did my led bulb upgrade today,thanks for sharing

For BMW i have to carry the toolbox with me just in case the bulb will go off while driving ! My old Volvo laughing at me right now 🤣🤣

Thank you so much! Everyone else said it’s on the passenger side! I knew I saw it on the same side next to the oil filter🙄. All diagrams weren’t helpful either. 👍

At 1:55 you push on the ratchet so easily onto the spark plug. For me it doesn’t let me push in all the way, so when I turn the ratchet it just spins freely… idk why the socket doesn’t wanna grab onto the spark plug?? The one on the left was so easy to change

nice pov, intakes sound very nice

Hey - much appreciate your methodical approach! Just bought a beaut of a 60k 2010 650, one owner, no codes and impecable but leaking big time from valve covers - can’t tell if the alt bracket seal also leaks but suspect it does - anywho, can you suggest a good video for the bracket fix - many thx

Yo, just watched your video before changing my oil. I couldn't fit the filter from above so I went and put it in from under (easier for me, short and short arms). Couldn't find the threads and struggled. Set it down in there and went from the side, noticed I could see where it goes if I went from above the tire, and my arms fit well in that spot too and made it very easy to thread and tighten. Good video, thanks!

you forgot to perform the bearing preload adjustment

hand tight lol

Thanks for the tip. I have a sierra and im stuck on the side with the steering collum this helped incredibly 😂

I changed the valve stem seals and replaced the timing chain tensioner on my e90 316i for only 150 USD!! Oem parts from BMW. The job would have been a staggering 3000 Bucks at BMW!! I can only imagine what BMW would of charged for the same work on a V8 engine here in Norway😂

How did you do the wiring? I’ve got a prosport gauge I’m wanting to put in the vent also but the wiring loom that came with it is extremely short and I’m curious what the best way to wire it will be

1 an 1/16? Is that standard for all rangers and what is metric size?

you are the first video on U-tube to say the size of the oil drain bolt. Thank you

Only 1? Bulbs are changed in pairs

Tinking to get one in a year or two as my first car

This is not how it's done. Lamp has a T shape underneath which is supposed to go into a guide on the square bracket lamp sits on. Impossible to align unless the bumper is dropped or the bracket itself is broken. Much easier to unscrew a few screws and let the bumper lean to some support underneath.

Thank you for this video, it was very insightful and detailed.
