- Here I am getting ready to replace the oil filter housing on a BMW 430i as requested by a customer.
I got down to the housing and found it was not leaking as the customer was told by someone else, so now I am only replacing the hose and flange above the oil filter housing.
Anyway I hope you enjoy this one.
As always, thanks for watching. Please come back and check out more.

Hey great video! I have a question on the hose that you were pointing out there. Is it the engine block connector or the hose that runs from the engine block connector to the radiator?
The connection at the engine block, just above the oil filter housing is the source of the leak that I am fixing here. The hose that goes from there to the radiator is also being replaced.
Could you tell me torque specs for this intake manifold? Thank you
Torque on the intake bolts is 10mn.
Work from center out
so i believe ive gone on something of the same mission, the oil cooler was not leaking, but i have a solid drip/ leak running down that side of the engine block, more towards the back corner.
im assuming pulling the intake, and introducing a pressure test, i should be able to find it under there? hoping its the same leak you had.
It could be. That is very hard to see because of all of the foam insulation on the engine. If you can look very close to the oil filter housing you will probably see a line of coolant or oil running down.
Hi , is there only 1 knock sensor for the b48? And do you know if you can access it through the bottom without taking the manifold off?
I think there is only one, but you will probably have an easier time to get to it under the intake manifold,.
@@magical_mechanical yea I am not sure cause I’ve called other dealers and they said I have 2. I thought b48 has 1 and b58 has 2.
I only remember seeing one on the B48. There is lots of sound insulation, so it might be covered.
To change my oil filter housing, do I have to drain the oil and coolant before removing the intake manifold? Also whats the process for starting it back up after. Thanks!
You don’t have to, I would suggest at least draining the oil from the filter before and the oil pan after. The reason is that the oil filter housing contains the oil cooler, so once you remove it, coolant can get into the oil pan because of the way the seals are made on the housing.
As for starting after, just make sure you refill it with oil and coolant.
Hi was your coolant leak only when the system was under pressure or even with engine off the coolant was leaking out ?
It needed to have pressure to leak.
@@magical_mechanical thanks seem like this my issue as well
@One_don2612 it could be.
If you are in the Atlanta area, I can help.
I have a similar issue but without pressure, only refilling the expansion tank. I think that can be the oil filter housing.
It’s possible, you may need to remove the intake manifold to be able to see it.
I also have to replace my engine oil filter housing how much would you charge me to get that done?? I live here in Atlanta.
I can get you pricing on my Facebook page
@@magical_mechanical is your Facebook under the same name so I could look you up, I really appreciate you replying back
you dont have to remove intake to fix oil filter housing.... but german cars r endless money pits..dont buy them..horrible
All modern cars are money pits.
Not lying there at all I would say the b48 and b58 are probably close to one of the best newer engines out now as far as Mercedes they have tons and tons of problems Audis are decent depending on the model
