Amazing video! That looked incredibly complicated and your video is so well detailed. I would totally let you service my car if I lived near your shop.
Dude, everything from the detailed camera to the "cameramanship" (if that's a word) to the editing (fast-forwarding the right parts) is prem. I know work goes into that. Hope your channel goes viral and u get 10M subs. Thank you.
Very informative especially the part on symptoms at the beginning
This guy is a legend.
The copper crush washers are one time use. I reused mine when I replaced the rubber hose when exhaust gasses were leaking into mu cabin 👀
It is Helpful really doing look so hard like I was originally think. Thank you
also complement for your skills is is always pleasure to watch so good Job nicely done.
Great work Andrew!
nicely done. I will do it as i am planning on shifting the turbo and it's much easier if toy remove the cover
Shift the turbo? Why? How?
I found my oil pan wet the other day when I changed my oil. I hope this is not what’s going on but if it is I will use you video for sure. While I’m in there I will clean the intake ports being that I’ll be able to see the camshaft lobes in the “up” position indicating the valves are closed when I manually rotate the crankshaft. Thanks for being awesome! I’ve been surfing your online parts catalog too, bought a few things the other day, I’ll be buying more 👍
Did you ever figure out what it was? Hopefully not the oil pan gasket because you have to drop the subframe. I rather do the VCG.
It was the VCG hose it had a gaping rip. It was easy to replace.
Great video again! Would you send the injectors to get pro cleaned just as a preventative? I have a nasty exhaust leak right by the top of the engine above or around the turbo. It gave me an engine reduced power code and then the leak popped up. Previous owner states the CEL light has been on and he stopped driving it.
very useful video too ! can you please explain why it can have oil in intercooler and in turbo because this gasket ? :)
I could totally take the car apart and all....But no way could I put it back together. Great video
Hey buddy I like everything you do those cars are the best.
Now my question is,how often do you recommend to do the timing chain replacement on the 2011 bmw 335d 3.0 Twin turbo.or if you go by mileage?How often could be?
Thanks brother
I enjoyed the video. Andrew has done this more than once. Don't expect you will do it as quickly. I would like to suggest stuffing something in the open intake ports and the injector holes. I use cotton balls or wadded up paper towels.
Great video well explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time. Shout out from oxford United kingdom whilst on covid 19 lockdown.
Same area as me dude, did you do the rocker cover gasket yourself?
@@joshbuck2037 Hi Josh I'm a mechanic by trade. It's a fiddley job to do. But can be done. You just need a bit of time and patience.
hello, my cover bolt above vacuum pump was overtightened and its come out with bracket bolts..
My question what torque to use for cylinder head vacuum pump bracket screws? thanks
Hello ..
I changed my e60 engine from 2.5 to 3.0 there nothing wrong in the system or autologic ... but i noticed there is difference between part no. Of the air manifold .. if i change it would i get more power ?
Thanks
Could you link or provide a part number or thread type for your injector slide hammer tool?
Is the process the same for a 2011 E90 LCI 335D? Thanks a TON!
Hi, what size is the soket for the injectors head? Like the one from puller? Many thanks
What are the torque specs for the injector bolts and the injector threadbolts?
So on those cross hatches you just used a little silicone sealant? is that not needed anywhere else?
Any links for the injector puller?
Where did you buy the injector puller? Do you have link?
hello, what you think what is the main problem leaking oil on N57 on valve cover, I'm on 68.000 km F16
Have you guys done this job on an N57? Similar methods?
How do you depressurize the diesel rail so it doesn’t spray fuel when removing lines etc??
How did you deal with the broken bolt?
would the process be the same for a e60 535D?
Hi I live in Mount Vernom NY I have a 335d where is your location?thanks
Hi, I dropped a gasket in the engine, how can I get it out?
How the heck do you get injector 6 out?!
What program are you using to get that installation guide in the end of the video?
Hi, thanks for a great DIY video, I completed this today, BUT... She will not start. Ran great before but now it just spins but will not start. Hoping you may have some suggestions on what to check first. This is my first diesel so not clear on where to start troubleshooting. thanks in advance!
LOL, disregard, Diesel needs bleeding. :-) Running great again!
You show me a lot more & in good detail… in this video that I’ve seen in others, I’ve subscriber….. looking forward to more videos. P.S don’t get upset, but if you can just get a little bit more in detail with your work would help a lot more too.
Would a bad ccv cause same issue or uncommon? I have the exact same oil leaks everywhere after boosting on a 38psi pull
After seeing all of the horror videos and reading stories I can't believe how easy those injectors came out! Last shop I took my 335d to for an injector they said it took two days to get it out.
Is there no fear of the plastic valve cover warping? I've been told it's a good idea to replace it because it will have warped over time.
Some are harder than others
@@1tokeover I have never seen a warped valve cover for the diesel
Is there any maintenance you should think about doing while you have the engine in this state? Can you clean the injectors somehow?
Glow plug module, vacuum lines and actuators, thermostat, Ccv hose, vacuum pump o-ring, walnut blast if not deleted already
Great video - at roughly what mileage and age will this typically be required. My 335d has almost 200,000 km on it (120,000 miles) and is consuming more oil than it used to - although not nearly as bad as a quart every 600 miles.
It varies greatly, possibly needing replacement sooner in warm Southern areas, mileage inconsistent, seen as early as 110,000 miles in the South on a high performance 2011 X5 35d. Changing your oil brand may resolve oil consumption, we found Rotella T6 was consumed much faster than Liquamolly
Ours is being done this week at 95,000 miles
Great video.Does the car burns oil?blue smoke from exaust?Mine is blowing blue smoke from exaust especially when revving,I have changed the breather filter and I have no shaft play on turbo.but oil consumption is 1 litre every 1000 km and burning oil smell from exaust with blue smoke.Power band has not changed.Any ideas?Car is e90 m47.A money pit
My 535d have bad rear main seal, but i dont think that is because valve cover gasket, becuase car does not smoke or eat oil.
How many hour job is this for a shop?
very useful!
btw, inventor of that topside creeper is absolute genius!
must be saving a lot of back pain...
How does the valve cover affect the high crank case pressure thanks in advance
The valve cover gasket on this engine also keeps the boost from pressurizing the crank case, unusual design
I would like to do this service on my car and have the valve cover cleaned ultra sonic. Is it possible?

Where is the video on vacuum reservoir removal? I'm stuck in the middle of removing my valve cover and he said that was the next step but it would be in a separate video. Please post and thanks much for your help.
Yes, please! I'm stuck in the very same spot, and from reading many forums, many others are as well. Nobody to date has put together a video tutorial on the reservoir removal with a clear view of the vacuum line routing.
@@Ryan-bb8se Check out these videos from just a couple weeks ago. They should help fill in the gaps for you. Here's a link: czcams.com/video/KO6ZAcnybTs/video.html
as an ex BMW Technician from Europe,i feel that you removed a lot of unnecesarry things.I don't know if you did that to rank up the cost or if you simply didn't know there is a easy-er route.We don t remove the rail,we remove the diesel pipes,we don;t remove the injectors wiring,we simply put it aside.We don't remove the vacuum line,or all the wiring around it.
This is true I was looking at the job today .... But what hes taking apart is what he's replacing with the kits he has I'm guessing... Parts for these things a lil tuff to get they happen to have a lot of it they made it somewhat easy to just buy the stuff from them...
The hose they made to fix that crappy ccv stuff is cool saves some money....
What sealant do you use at bmw ?
@@adam2jzzz801 in S Gate,the internal BMW Documentation,it says that you should use sealant only on the half circle shapes where the seal might not be 100%.We used Victor Reinz sealant in those days.
Are you able to just take that bracket with the vac um canister and all the connectors and just unbolt it and push it to the side?
Could this also be a reason why the engine could feel jerky? Like at constant speeds or at minor acceleration..?
I have the same issue on my 335d
Would this be the same for the N57 engine in a X6 40d?
I don't know, we don't have that in the USA
are you in cali?
Hello. Can you please explain how leaking valve cover gasket would result in pressurized crankcase?
Turbo pressure leaks pass the gasket into the crankcase. Or at least that’s the way it was explained to me.
The engine is designed to be compact so a lot of systems are right next to each other. Like the injectors going through the valve covers
Where is the vacuum reservoir video? Got to that point now can't proceed. Can you link it
It's here:
czcams.com/video/kuXEa1efpxQ/video.html
How does a leaking cam cover gasket allow boost pressure into the crank case? I think you're confusing it with the crankcase breather.
There's a crankcase vent/diaphragm built into the valve cover. If it or the corresponding gaskets fail, it will absolutely cause excessive crankcase pressure.
@@Abigor321 yes, that's right,but the cam cover gasket and the breather valve are two separate items,not one and the same.
I've suddenly decided this is a garage job xD. That is doable but no way do I have the time to go that deep.
holy shit this seems like a nightmare lol pretty sure i need to replace mine
Where's the video for removing the vacuum reservoirs and actuators?
Otherwise excellent video
Just finished repair. Instructions are awesome, but now I’m facing no start problem and 0 bar pressure in the rail... Gonna figure it out....
Rear rail pressure sensor is plugged in?
@@TuneMyEuro By the way repair kit worked perfectly. So, figured out, for some reason, bleeding system didn't help till I didn't release the bolt on hpfp, no diesel was coming to the rail, probably it catched air. As soon as I know common rail should not have this problems. So I start it after repeated bleeding, now I faced another problems...😅 Using a Launch, got 46d7 which is compressor actuator plate, 452a - dpf and swirl flaps motor. None of them was showing before. All connectors are in place. So I watched another video about vacuum system and I checked it today. All valves hold the vacuum except one in a back that goes to the turbo actuator, so will have to change it. Bad part fkin BMW AG closed the newtis.info and now I will have hard time finding the part. Your advise will be highly appreciated.

@@TuneMyEuro thank you!
o my good :O
Does anyone make an aluminum valve cover yet? I'm sick of these crappy plastic ones.
I just did this. My car doesn't start anymore. Tried 5x. Primed fuel pump 3 minutes with diagnostic didn't help. It shows 4b90 no rail pressure at start and it stays on 7bar not rising. Requested is 300 bars. I tried resetting and syncing DDE CAS but that returned "not free start value available"... While I was doing this, I didn't clean injector holes, so could some residue fall into pistons? I was also vacuuming injectors with all suction power of vacuum cleaner and also fuel lines to avoid dirt. not sure what's wrong maybe some small part or valve in injector sized ??
Hi Martin i have the same issue. How did you get your car started in the end? I took of my fuel pressure sensor and the rail is empty, no fuel dripped out!
Cheers Dean
@@drm4857 same with me
@@drm4857 dod you fix the no start ?
@@theforestlizard223 not yet ordered a vacuum pump. Going to try and suck up some fule into the rail via the rail pressure sensor hole at the front. If not will have to take the Intake off and vacuum from the top of the injectors and then crank it at lot I expect...
@@drm4857 oh boy and i thought what a easy job this is , i was looking online and i saw a forum post that said to let the ignition on for 5 minutes to self bled i think i wil do that tomorrow with a full battery and se
Why didnt you explain how to get that torx out of the rear on the 335d? You cant even fit a ratchet on it.
Lift valve cover a bit and bring it forward, You'll be able to do this just enough to where you can get a ratchet on it
@@TuneMyEuro ohh sick thanks mate
@@TuneMyEuro now how bout that vacuum reservior removal vid? 😅
@@davidsny1190 boom czcams.com/video/kuXEa1efpxQ/video.html
@@TuneMyEuro you the mannnn
It took you only 16 minutes I am guessing it will take me few hours.
why on earth would a leaking valve cover gasket create pressurisation????? are we on drugs here?
Completly agree @samotico83__12 review. Where you from guys?
