Valve Clearance Adjustment How To E30 m20
zhlédnutí 905Před 2 lety
I wanted to add to some of the content already out there on how to perform the valve clearance on the m20 engine as its a maintenance item that should be checked regularly. Spec - 0.25mm on a cold engine
Fuel Pressure - How to check it!
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 2 lety
I check the fuel pressure (fuel pressure regulator (FPR), fuel pump) on a e30 325i. Check your shop manual for the right fuel pressure setting for your vehicle! You will need to buy an inexpensive fuel pressure test kit to perform this test, and have basic knowledge of vehicle systems including where your fuel lines run and identifying your fuel rail.

How to MIG weld a patch in car floor pan. E30 bmw.
zhlédnutí 317KPřed 10 lety
This is my first welding how to video. I have been welding new steel into my 325i sport for the last 6 months. When I started there were not a lot of HD youtube videos on mig welding on cars so I thought I would make one. I used 1.8mm steel sheet, a Lincoln Powermig 180c welder and 0.6mm super arc wire with a Argonshield shielding gas. I am sorry my head is in the way of some of it. I didn't re...
Idler Pulley Removal and Replacement - (aka tensioner pulley) Subaru Legacy GT and WRX
zhlédnutí 53KPřed 11 lety
This was very easy. I am not a mechanic and this only took me 30 minutes. I would put the complexity not far above doing an oil change. Sorry that I mostly talk in metric. The car in this clip is a Japanese import Subaru Legacy GTB wagon. EJ20TT (290bhp) The same principals should apply to many Subarus. When tensioning the belt I read the spec for a replacement belt, I should have tensioned it ...
Let's start with this--why would one install this part?
thanks for this mate; the dealership service wanted to charge me 150$ for the part + labor to do this. I went down to Repco, got a filter and did it myself with your guide.
Really good video thank you
Great explanation and tips!
Gasless mig (Flux core) is acceptable, if you know how to use it, and can also be used outside, where a gas mig would just have the gas blown away if you try it outside. Inverter MIg welders with flux core have come a long way recently for thin metal.
u do welding on MOT failures?
tqvm sir
thanks John. Helped me get mine done
Can I use a stick welder to do a buttweld in the car floor?
awesome vid man. i have a 2000 RSK and was wondering what part number is that pulley. thank you!
You may try the following. OE 73131FC000. Should get you on the right track.
czcams.com/video/eqNHnKaslEk/video.html You’re going to be surprise what happened to me
This was an awesome tutorial. Love the way you explained everything. It gave me confidence to try. Thanks for pointing out the tools you used too!! Subbed!
Having a tight gap can rust if not welding thru properly everywhere.
Sub-bar-roo.....I like the pronunciation, in Australia we pronounce it like....Souberoo....:) Thanks for the Vid'....I have a funny noise coming from my 2003 Forester, the kind of sound you get when the oil runs low....but there's plenty of oil....I'm hoping its the idler pulley which I'll check out tomorrow....
Good work and keep it up.
Here is what I did on my 76 F100 floor pans. czcams.com/video/8Ecu4B7U_mM/video.html
I liked this video been thinking about doing my own car welding for a while as i can do it at my pace from home and save money in stripping the car right down then transporting it to a bodyshop. Might look into a basic welding course.
Very good video John, especially because it is your 1st :D Also you work on great car, I like 325 a lots, wanted to buy one but it is hard to find one here (or they are very expensive or ruined to point you cant fix them - Im talking about 20-25.000 Euros for M ) And I let that idea for some other time. I bought Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24v (1999) and she is rusty - floor is biggest issue and rocker panels . She have sit for 4-5 years and she need a lots of work now - brakes dont work as they should, engine is leaking oil and a lots of other smaller or bigger problems... It was a short time project but it is almost 9 months now, a bit because it cost a way more than I expected and more because of bad weather here ... But she is complete now - need just few things and about one month more... It worth every cent and second I have invested in her <3 I hope your project is finished and that you are satisfied.... Cheers :)
Very helpful. Thanks for the video
Good Job Kid! Keep it up.... Start doing old Cars and selling them...
You should increase your heat and decrease the time the heat is on.
That is rough welding.
Excellent video. Like the dude below says, come to Scotland, we have high quality rust over here 😁
Where do you put the ground clamp?
Awesome thanks for that, I’m replacing some floor pans on my MK3 Jetta that might turn into a senior project. Im a little hesitant to weld in such a confined area and being shocked and whatever else. But this video puts me at ease. Looks safe. Did you take out the gas tank?
Thanks for this. Need to do a few panels on my E30!!
Anyone who owns an old ass Toyota, needs to learn how to use a MIG welder...They're shitty floors, seem to be made of sawdust. Rust buckets.
Tappi-tap-tap.. great job
Hi, a few days ago the car accelerates alone, it even comes under the 2000 rpm without me touching the pedal also the engine seems not to go well, then I tried to remove the oil cap is powered access, suddenly he started to mumble and he did like a suction of air and he lost shots, what do you say is the broken pcv? also I should also change diverter valvle? that piece that's underneath?
Or........spend $35 on a new floor pan and do it right.
Perfect video. Very helpful. Thank you sir
If there are pin holes....that's what filler , pore 15 and about a million other things are used for.... Regular old flux core will do fine especially on a floorboard underneath the carpet😂😂😂😂😂
great video brothaaaaaa i have a 2003 forester and same type of set up
I replaced my tensioner pulley today, and the pulley they gave me looks like the pulleys that aren’t on the tensioner. By that I mean the pulley isn’t the one with all the lines goin around in a circle. It’s just a solid pulley. Will that matter? If she gave me a pulley that’s different but same in size will it hurt anything?
Thank you for the vid, I just brought a mig welder for body work / thin sheet metal aswell as other jobs, trying to build up a knowledge base from your vid and comments, funny reading such comments such as you call that rust from those Americans, what the Americans don't realize is New Zealand has very tight vehicle inspection especially towards rust and modifications, new Zealand only allows rust holes to be as big as a 20cent coin, I'm a kiwi living in the united states I've seen vehicles with rust holes size of dinner plates and still legal as road worthy, and some US states don't have vehicle inspections, I'm not wanting it for rust but wildlife when it jumps in front of ya, yes I've hit afew Deer
Just did this on my '04 wrx with 196k on it. Correct diagnosis and treatment for about $85. Same exact noise before and none after.
Where did you connect your ground too? Frame rail? And did you disconnect the battery ground. Looking to do a little patching on my jeep
Some help wiht this freaking pcv valve on my 2002 golf 2.ol where is it
Awesome video you should do more. This literally saved my ass on my 05 WRX swapped the pulley in right after I watched your vid.
that's how its done.. good vid
Great video, thank you!
Nice video. The only point I'd make is that if you're adjusting the tension on the alternator belt at the same time, there are two more bolts that need to be loosened before the adjustment and then tightened afterword to lock it down. Those are on the left and right sides of the alternator. The one on the left is just below the tension adjustment bolt. (Just replaced both belts and was wondering why Rock Auto recommended a pulley tool to replace this idler. Your video makes it clear that I don't need another tool for that.)
you're a legend deadset. haha saved my life. can i use a torque wrench on the belt? to get the right amount? or?
John Hardley thanks for the vid did it in 20 mins today your a legend
Nice job but with that little rust I would have just removed it with acid then treated with epoxy primer. A little skim coat and paint or coat with whatever you wish.
a grinder and some paint make me the welder I aint
great video. thanks
thank you
Great job! For large gaps my best friend is a copper flat spoon on the back side.
AdamMargie4ever Right? I wish I had learned that earlier.
what benefits you get after blanked off ?
Why didn't you replace it in the 1st place?!
I also got the PCV delete kit. There is no benefit at all. Yes there is another way for pressure to scape but it is not enough so my valve cover gasket blew and I’m leaking oil around the valve cover. Did a bit research and other people have gotten the same issue. The oil catch can does not resolve the carbon buildup issue but allows pressure to scape. Best thing to do is get the PCV valve again.
How come the other two patches are not fully welded,the welding is terrible with massive gaps,have you not finished them?
