Changed it on DOZENS of ZF’s. Its a MUST to change mechatronics seals. Sometimes solenoids go bad. I use liquimoly 1800 ATF and proper filling procedure. This has fixed 10/10 shifting and transmission problems. Even ZF says the fluid is only good for 78k
John Aliwalas check FCP website they have tons of parts
I changed oil and and oil filter on f10 8speed. And when you buy zf oil filter you get every single detail in user manuals papers. Problems 0 happy customer 1.
I have had cars brought to me with transmission malfunctions, limp modes, slamming into gear, harsh cold shifts or ones That wouldnt even go into drive. Doing the fluid/filter/pan/seals/solenoids fixed every single problem every single time. ONLY ON ZF TRANS
2008 5 series is ZF trans?
If you do it, do it properly
- Change the whole system, 9 liters not only 6 as is used to do usually, here are the main problems
- Correct ATF for ZF
- Change 5 little gaskets/pieces upper mechatronic unit
- Change sleeve conector
- Main gasket and filter
- Fill with temperature instructions
- Go to BMW if you don't have software to finish the service
BimmerN53
changed mine out on my e60 wagon along with the sleeves. Shifts beautifully now
well lets hope it lasts mate
BMW Doctor please i need your help respond me on my comment
Ahmed Abbas mate I don’t respond to questions for help sir please put your problems here emails requiring help for codes are blocked
@@BMWDoctor do you charge ?
Do I charge for what ?
I have a F11 with 185k miles on it and I have been regularly changing ZF fluid. I found that when I do put genuine zf fluid in it makes the gear changes ever so smooth.
I changed mine. I have an F10 520d with a zf8 speed and 180k km. The gearbox was running fine before and after the oil change. I would recommend to do it as preventative maintenance only if it is done correctly. You must have the car level and when filling the oil pan with new oil, do it at the correct temperature. You also need a diagnostics tool the read the gearbox oil temp when the engine is running during the second fill and perform an adaptation gearbox reset when finished. Finally only use ZF approved oil.
I have recently done 3 ZF boxes with Liqui Moly brand oil. All fine. I did a 550000km E39 5 speed with an unknown history on the oil changes, I have had it since 450000km. Surprising to me was relatively clean. Am in Australia and would definately recommend changing the oil. I put the pan with a drain plug so next drains alot easier. I would only ever do the pan drain method, I would never have a shop use their flushing machine as this is where the failures are happening as the drain flush machine will introduce wrong fluid and crud into the box if done by butcher mechanic. I do regular diff and power steering oil changes on a fleet of over 10 family cars and find it helps alot in preventing noises and problems.
În România we change The fluid because of 40 degrees outside. I personally change The fluid with the automatic oil change machine and i use 14 liters inclufing the flush.
If you wait until you have problems to change the fluid, then yes it might grenade a week later. If the transmission is good b4 the fluid change, it will still be good after the fluid change (assuming it's done right).
Ive changed the fluid on my e46 @ 96k miles, and then more 2 times over the next 70k miles, and it hasn't grenaded (gm trans, Valvoline MaxLife ATF). Still shifts good.
I agree with what you said, i live in very hot climate country the local BMW dealer said the ATF is lifetime usage don't even need to change, that's 100% BS. After couple of years my E60 GB seals, clutches & mechatronic was jammed and broken. The ATF inside had became thick and black just like diesel causes everything jammed. So i have to do an overhaul of the GB. I do think that those who live in extreme weather country should change the ATF. Thanks for the video !!!!
just had my e60 535d gearbox oil changed when I had it serviced 3 weeks ago seems spot on at the min, il keep these 🤞
lets hope so mate lets really hope so there the WORST for it mate giving up is yours ZF or GM if yours not LCI you will have that crappy GM
ZF I think ,it's a 07 lci model 89000 on the clock, should of left it alone but thought I was doing the right thing, it was lovely and smooth and still is at the min , was having a full service ,and thought get that done it must be over due🤦♂️.was going to do a led upgrade on the light myself and fog lights is it straight forward or do you get error codes the videos on CZcams seem be all from American or somewhere else and I don't trust them 😂
I'm here in Florida, just changed my X5 fluid...and thank God I did! It was black! I watched the CZcams video, bought the kit from FCP Euro, and voila! 2 hr job.
Just did my e60 gearbox oil filter sleeves bridge seal and solenoids filter pan and bolts on 2010 e60 n54 with the zf 6hp19z seems like a good box so far
I did the exact same thing on my 08 E60 528xi a couple months ago. I used the Valvoline fluid recommended by Nathan over on NathansDIY. After the adaptation took effect after about a month my transmission shifts super smooth in drive & drive sport. I've also noticed how much quieter it is than it was before.
I wish I'd seen this first, changed my oil and pan at 100,000,reset the adaptations ,drove like shit for about 2weeks.I was shitting myself thinking the box was gonna go.Drives sweet now and yes you're right the oil was immaculate,no smells,spotless ,l would also advise leave well alone
I own a e60 535d lci, 450k+ on the zf6hp28 gearbox, got it fully rebuilt, all worn parts changed out with new oil and filter, works like a dream now, only thing to note is if you have a remap for your engine, you need to remap your gearbox aswell, because the gearbox stock map with line pressure is made to work with stock engine torque figures, if the engine is remapped and gearbox left with stock map/line pressure, the TCU thinks that something is not right, gets confused and starts to slip and not lock up when throttle is applied at certain speeds, causing premature wear and tear to the gearbox. These gearboxes handle massive power and torque. This part is off topic but most baltic drift cars use 3.0d 5spd zf manual gearboxes from like e46's and e39's because they are cheap and reliable as hell
Hell YES over we can have a 50 deg. F change . Lows can go from -33 to + 20 in 2 days. When we hit -33 I never even started the X5. I changed fluid on my other cars an never lost one. ❤
I know mate thats why I said about the usa the climate plays a BIG BIG affect on the cars there especially sensitive BMW
@@BMWDoctor Hell what about me I work out in that stuff.. LOL
I am sort of with you on this - i think there are only about 14 or 15 ZF authorised specialists in the UK total. Only they should touch the boxes.
exactly that mate these boxes are not as straight forward as people think and find out when they do the service
Right, a hack service job can do more harm than leaving it alone.
Interesting 🤔 but now also BMW (as ZF) suggest to change it
if they suggested changing it mate that about all the courtesy cars bmw rent out and lease out which I may add are still under warranty for 3 years and SOME IF NOT MOST come with 3 years servicing why dont they tell customers to change the oil OR do there own oil on the cars they rent out
BMW Doctor right, so just to make cash ?!
I changed mine last month on my x5 40d. Zf8. And it gets to higher gear quickly and runs better.
Change your oil, my Grandpa had a new car, 11 years later, 60.000 km by a 6hp26, transmission failure, new Transmission, 5800€ +installing.
Why changing your oil?
Even in EU if you stuck for half an hour or longer in stop and go by 20 Degrres outside, you get Transmission temp from 100 degrees, that‘s ok, no hot temperature sign in i drive, but you oil (Lifeguard Fluid6) is good for only 86 degrees, so it get demaged.
Dignity comes over time in the oil, which isn‘t good, cause no transmission is 100% close.
Gaskets get‘s old that hold the oil from cables back that go into your Gearbox Mechatronic -> Gearbox failure, new Machatronic 1200€
For that to change, or the Gasket that hold the oil back, the oil pan has to get away.
Change it every 80-100k km, like zf sais, and do it by them, cause you need a expensive machine for this.
Also the oil filter get‘s full over time
-> bad oil flow + kickdown is not good, in worst case too low oil pressure, damage.
(Cold start and you‘re car runs not/slow/after anview seconds in drive), change as soon as possible Oil+Filter :)
ZF transmissions are hard to destroy, but very old oil is a way to get it done.
Download on android xHP Flashtool, buy stage 3, and you‘re gearbox will stay longer. Transmission tuning is not like engine tuning, it makes transmissions stronger!
By questions, ask xHP or me.
For example, stock 6hp28 is able to handle ~ 600NM, with Stage 3 up to 1000NM :)
Believe me, it‘s a secret hint, you will not recognize that‘s this is your transmission:)
Haven’t changed mine on my 2007 E90. Got 310k km and still works flawlessly.
Do most peoples change the fluid when the gearbox starts failing? Hoping it solves there issues. Of so is changing the fluid just pro longing the inevitable? Surely if it's done on more regular basis say 30k it would pro long the gearbox life
Great video,smart man and now I'm saving money
There is a jerk coming from 1st > 2nd upshift in E90 GM transmission. Is that normal or should the fluid be changed ?
I'm in the US I have a 2008 328i two-door coupe e92 it says I have an eh transmission should I change the fluid in that I'm at a hundred thousand miles? It runs great I was thinking it's time to change the filter and the fluid I was just watching Nathan's Channel and he was saying to change it with Valvoline Max fluid you think maybe you can throw your two cents in it to me thanks Dean I just got the code saying my fluid has deteriorated
Warm up is very important 5 minutes, but You need to Change oil 100% nothing is going for life
Helped me out, I was going to do my E61 30d Touring sport with 289000, runs find was going to do preventative maintenance. Nice one on warming the gearbox up before driving l, I’m driving off in seconds most if not all the time.
I have a BMW 330i with n52k engine and some times I feel a little kick while downshifting from 2nd gear to 1st gear and I thought it was from the sleeves would you recommend changing them and replace the oil or refill the same oil and change the oil pan with filter.
please I need your advice
I highly doubt thats your gearbox and believe that will be your vanos solenoids
I live in the USA up in the northeast and have a 2009 bmw 328xi, 105k miles with the GM transmission. I have been struggling with whether to replace the transmission fluid, strainer and pan gasket. As of now the transmission shifts smoothly no issues at all and don't beat on the car. Your video seems to be persuasive enough just to leave well enough alone.
I'm really glad you posted this video. I've been thinking a lot about whether I should change my fluid or not for the past week. I live in the US, and I don't know how badly my e46 has been abused in the past, so I figured this would be a safe bet to change. If nothing else, I just wanted to see if the fluid was black and breaking down. It shifts with no issues, so I'm sure if I follow the proper procedure and use ZF fluid, it will continue to run smoothly.
Thank you again, Dean. Your videos really are a valuable resource for BMW DIY'ers.
your welcome mate thats what im here for buddy
The ZF gearbox requires an oil change as does any other gearbox just do it properly! I use me auto box spe islists and never had an issue,use someone who knows jack shit about their job then you are in trouble! Ps. Engine mounts have no influence on the torque converter as the gbox is bolted directly to the engine but there failing u will hear and feel more vibrations and clunks. Imho
They say lifetime which is not lifetime it is 100k, not changing it is a ridiculous idea like any oil it starts to lose its lubrication properties.
It’s lifetime so therefore I have 115 people agree compared to 14 disagree
So therefore I’m correct and you are wrong
Not sure I agree with this in the slightest. I appreciate the climate in Europe differs to that os the americas but i can’t see why you wouldn’t follow service advice from a German manufacturer on their product. Zf say 60-80k for the zf8hp service and I expect it has more to do with replacing the filter than the fluid itself. The zf8hp fluid is green, not red and although BMW state it is a lifetime fluid I don’t believe they really care what happens to their cars above 100k, outside of the typical lease term for their cars.
I replaced the fluid in my 2011 530d as zf recommend it should be done. I didn’t have access to the cars computers at the time so did it somewhat blind. I bought a genuine zf service kit for £160 from auto doc and I followed the instructions that came with the kit. I appreciate it wasn’t a full flush as you can’t drain the torque converter but it was still worth doing. The fluid came out a darker colour and the behaviour of the gearbox changed significantly after it was done.
Im not sure Id trust any old garage to do it and to have it done at BMW would be quite costly as the service kits are £400 if you look around. Auto doc were especially cheap!
When filling the gearbox back up you have to get it up to temperature so that its thermostat opens up and circulates around the radiator. This is important to do as if the stat is closed when topping up to full, when the stat opens the fluid level will rise to overfull.
I would listen to the manufacturer of the gearbox over bmw when it comes to servicing
DAMM!! I haven’t even watched the video yet, but just the title alone makes the compulsive devil 😈 inside me WANT to touch whatever it is he just said not to touch!! This is why I get into so much trouble. Anyone else like me? 🤦♂️
What cause fluttering on low revs around 1-2k on zf6hp21 minor fluttering?
what engine if its N52 vanos solenoids not gearbox
I’m in the US and have a 2007 X3 with the 6 speed auto; I feel a slight stuttering also, but only after the engine has warmed, never happens when cold; is this also the VANOS Solenoid?
Hi boss , just wanna ask 2018 Mini Cooper S 2.0T automatic transmission service light on and it can not be use scan tool reset even I did reset but the light still on , the car only runs 20000 km , what problem is?? thanks a lot .
Great topic and good points covered here dude! My previous E60 535d must have had a hard life because the torque converter had failed in it. I went with getting mine reconditioned and that went wrong within 3 months! Ended up getting a brand new one from ZF and it was good after that. Like you said it's mostly likely the previous owner driving it hard from cold and launching the car from stationary. I now have an E91 335d and opted to get the trans oil changed at the same time as a new metal sump and filter. An auto gearbox shop did a good job and highlighted that they had purchased a dedicated machine to fully pump the old oil out and new oil in. Agreed too on the mech sleeve, mine was deemed to be in good condition and was not replaced, probably due to being in the UK in a milder climate.
Too late mate changed it month ago you honest mate it's TRUE the savings don't really do anything to the transmission there's no need to.
exactly mate it does literally nothing at all I can tell you that right now everyone I do it for unless they had big issues in the first place experience no difference in the gearbox only the gearboxes that had issues before experience the difference but thats because its hiding the problem inside the gearbox and the new fluid is thick enough to cover the problem FOR NOW
What about manual transmission ? When that should be changed?
you dont have to on a manual mate
In the US, but on my manual I change it at the 30k mile mark. Keeps it shifting nicely. Made a large improvement.
On autos I always change the fluid around 60-70k miles. Never had a problem. My Lexus has 235k miles and shifts perfect... even after using it to haul jet skis and stuff like a pickup truck. Every 60k miles. Thats the secret to long transmission life in my experience.
Got the F20 118i
Did remove it since 2015
Still doing great though
Good video dean I change mine in the USA sleeves I do the bridge seal and the solenoids I do if it has 100k on it and the mechtronics seal
Great video!! These cars are sold all over the world and the different advice for different climates is insightful. I know the oil is different for the engine because of the difference in fuel (LL-01 USA vs LL-04 EU) and I know Shell makes the fluid for ZF Lifeguard (1175.4 or whatever) but I don't know if they are different, and the best advice ever let your car warm up!!
Great video.
I drive a 2006 E60 525D (auto) with almost 200,000 miles on the clock. Never has the transmission fluid changed. Last 6 months, up/down shifting gears at lower speeds or quick acceleration from stationary causes my car to jolt as the gears change. BMW says transmission has a small leak (based on observation only apparently).
Should I not do a full transmission service? What about Forte Transmission Treatment like your other video advised?
Yeah, don't touch it unless you're changing filter, solenoids and all seals. New oil will make the old seals go solid and in turn leak.
Hey Dean Thanks for the advice
Really good info dean I need a oil change soon thanks mate
thanks mate yes mate you can indeed change it
I have a 2008 BMW 528i (E60 L.6 3.0 (N52K). I just had the the Mechatronic Service Kit replaced on it. It was shifting a lot better, but now its giving me the transmission malfunction message and shifting hard. What do you think would still be causing this? I'm not very knowledgable about cars, but I want to make sure I have something that I need to suggest to the mechanic.
I have a 2011 328xi 70k miles with a GM trans. After warm up the trans shudders at/around 1500rpms. The Bentley Manual says this will happen around 60-70k and to do a transmission fluid and filter replacement. Good idea?
Side note: Its been around 30°F and there has been no shuddering. It only shudders when it's warm out ( summer ) it takes hours of driving in winter to shudder even a little. Is it just that the fluid stays thicker when it's cold out?
I have a 2004 E60 auto 525i se petrol - it started reving up and down maintaining 30mph with light acceleration and same maintaining around 55mph it gets worse when it heats up. When stone cold it may not do it at all but after 10-15 mins it’s back. Tried to get up a hill at 30mph after driving for 20mins and it was reving all over the place and felt like it was loosing power. I’m worried this could be costly - torque converter maybe??? Oil??? Solenoids???
What would your guess be?
Would you recommend to change the fluid or not on my E60 525i, (103k miles, 167k km) i live in Finland where the temperature in the winter can sometimes go down to -30 celsius? (or even colder)
GM GA6L45R Transmission: not the best transmission but a fluid, filter, mechatronic sleeves, adapter change revitalized my transmission. Drained and filled less than 5L; will be draining and filling again in 10k km. I used Motul Dexron VI; will be trying multi ATF next. Any suggestions? From Canada with hot summers.
At 2:15 Dean, since you said yes to changing for transmission fluid for the USA, does the same thing go for Canada as well? My E90 has the ZF6HP19Z
yes mate Canada gets very cold most of the time bro it really depends on your climate I think just regularly checking it would be the best option
Want to ask for advice
Rough idle while driving
Rpm jumps up and down
Any advice what I should do???
Would'nt the harsh engagement be due to the mounts not being fully dampened before the vehicle is shifted into gear?
High humidity seems to cause havoc with transmissions in my experience. Dealership do I work for importing cars from Singapore have many units suffering torque converter kick due to high moisture content. Like you said depends where the vehicle has been living climate.
exactly mate it does indeed and the climate plays the MASSIVE MASSIVE part on this
Thank you Dean
your welcome mate
I have a 2013 BMW X1 with 115,000 hot Texas do you think i should do it?
I have a BMW 750i and the transmission temperature light came on and my car what not go in drive. What do you recommend
Great useful vid mate. I've been wondering to change mine or not, I'll just leave it be... is it possible to check the gearbox oil? I run an e91 N52b30 auto. Thanks mate, keep the content going! Hope your feeling better! 🤘
cheers mate and no mate I would leave it well be mate trust me on this dont risk it going out mate
Done deal mate, I trust your knowledge cheers mate!
Just recently experienced a "transmission malfunction" on a cold morning drive to work. It happened while it tried to change to 2nd gear. Came as an almost 1-2 slip
I was told by many and agreed to change the oil and pan so I did with no change at all.
After further research I'm sorta looking at the mechatronics sleeves as the problem but not entirely sure.
Any ideas of what you guys think and do you recommend replacing the solenoid as well.
Thanks
like I said once there gearboxes are done there DONE finished no saving them
I had same on my 535D when I got it & someone had done the oil & filter but not the mechatronic sleeves I've since done them myself with the correct procedure for refilling & now the gearbox is as new again 👍🏻
Driving 745i.
Had to service the gearbox , oil , filter and the sleeves inside .
Drove fort a while quite well .
Now sadly I reckon Is done .
yep mate thats how it is as I said it ends up going south as SOON as you change it not worth the risk on these boxes
@@BMWDoctor My one had to be done , simply because was not moving at all.
I ll keep you posted anyway.
I need to put it on tester and go underneath to check it .
But for 350£ with 130000 miles on dash, in white , was worth it .
I really love this car .
If I can't fix it my self , I ll just have my gearbox reconditioned (I m thinking ) , or buy a reconditioned one .
I m not yet sure what route I ll take .
Why dose my e92 330d intermittently rev out in first to second automatic I have to back off for it to change up
Hi Mate, I have a 2007 x3 with a GM 6L45 I’m have some ABS SENSOR and Reluctor Ring problems and is throwing the whole car off. Anyway I changed my fluid several months ago and am getting a whisling sound and about 30 mph. Possible moisture in fluid? Not enough Fluid? Should I have it flushed via machine and not just drain and fill. This car is braking the bank. Any help would be greatly appreciated, from Upstate NY.
Good day sir, i need assistance with an engine swap on my e36.. may i have your email please ? Basicly i want to put a M50b20 in my 316i auto.. will the motor fit to the gearbox or are they different bellhousins ?
I have a charger 8 spd in the U.S what mileage should I change it and should I go to dodge or a German shop?
And you must reset the adaptations
thats correct Michael you do and most of the time people dont do this and go straight for the fluid , when you can actually get away with resetting the adaptions and all problems are solved
How to resset adaptation on e60 2009
Muhamed Algjaratlli istad service Functions it’s in there
Was just at the dealership and they told me to NEVER change the fluid cause its good for “300,000 miles”... What kind of magical fluid are they using if ZF the manufacturer of the trans says its good for less than 78k miles
Always listen to BMW dealers they know what there talking about I work in partnership with them
I have an E39 525 auto
does this gearbox principal apply to pre 2003 cars ?
some do some dont in E46 they fitted zf from 2003
are you suggesting never change oil in ZF? :D just like skip ZF's recommendation every 40-60k? Let it die after 200k?
Hello dean . Where / how do i find your vid on sealing sump pan without dropping subframe . Do you replace all bolts and what it the sealant you use . Thanks Jamie in Newzealand.
Zf recommends change, not BMW. Experts recommend BMW oil, not Zf. The exchange must be done by specialists.
you are correct in that
What about middle east ? Shall we change the oil ? Or leave it as UK ?.
Another question, this type of gearbox its same with BMW and Crysler (dodge, jeep cherokee) and all those cars recommend to change at 60-80 thousand KM.
Why with BMW not to change ? (Its same gear box (ZF).
No no Gm gearbox is NOT same as ZF GM GEARBOX is crap and s**t do not compare the two of them please the Gm is found in Chrysler dodge and all them throw away cars
ZF IS MUCH MUCH BETTER and solid
What do you think of using XHP transmission flash on the ZF 6HP19?
Hi doctor dean i have ah 2004 bmw 545i and when i put in reverse gear there is ah slight delay before the gear goes in not sure it that how the transmission works can u tell me if it normal the transmission gears change perfectly when I'm driving forward just that delay when i put in reverse thank u in advance.
I agree with you in many ways but I can not agree that you shouldn't change the oil in Europe type of climate as the oil has it's resources, but anyway... I don't know your case of driving but I have an E60 with a M57TU2 engine responding to 525d mode and it has a 264km relatively 164k miles on the clock (done by me as I got it new) and now its starting to have issues with it's torque where I am going to re-do the whole transmission just to be sure that there aren't going to be any issues for the next 100k km and I think I will do that right (obviously I am going to change the tran-y oil as well). Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't these cars transmission (zf6hp19/21/26) resources end up around 250-300k km where I mean tourque solenoids etc.?
my friend thats my opinion you dont want to take it as that but just my take on it and also I have 2 cars here right now on 160+ mileage and still doing fine without ONE change so I beg to differ we will agree to disagree
@@BMWDoctor Thanks for you responce mate. Maybe mine gone to that state due to the city milage it has but still... facts. Appreciate your comment and looking forward for some new videos. Kudos! :)
The train of thought is the fresh oil loosens all the accumulated crud in the gearbox which then causes issues - it's like using engine flush in a badly neglected engine - you run the risk of making things worse.
You pays your money you take your choice.....
that is very correct sir
Thanks for your advice, I love the BMW brand but not all the potential problems associated with it.
Hi, I have a bmw x5 e70, my car had a sudden engine shut off at a complete stop in traffic light, and on board screen showed transmission malfunction, the gear shifted to P and the car crank when trying to start . so i pluged in OBD reader, it has code A0B1 CAS input selector level position implausible, 507B 507D Parking gear sensor implausible and parking gear incorrectly disengaged. i paid attention to the transmission oil temperature, it was at 82 C when this problem occur. what may be the problem based on this discription ? help please
any idea what the delay problem could be,Its done 160000 miles
Love your. Videos ..great content ..what program i need to purchases for 2004 bmw 530i ..want code out some things
Thanks for this video mate, I talked to you about changing my fluid in the US and you said leave it. Also my wife baby’s the car nicely. It’s does the thump you speak about and as it warms up it goes away. Anyway you see to correct that thump? Thanks again for the video!
not really mate what car is it mate
BMW Doctor 2006 e60 525xi
Cherrs mate
no problem vladi mate glad to see you on here all the time now
Brilliant video Dean heard so many things on these I'll take your advice on it bro cheers.
your welcome mate no problem
Done my son's 530d a couple of years ago..left the bottles of fluid in a bucket of boiling water.
Was going to do my e53 as first start in the morning there is a delay before it engages drive.After that it is perfect all day.But if i put it in sport's no delay.
Another Great vid 'doctor'... Thanks for your knowledge: the only thing I'm thinking bout is that the auto ZF sumps are plastic... So surely they gunna deteriorate with age/milage so wouldn't that justify autobox fluid change cus of the plastic sump/pan? Thanks again for your knowledge share: very educational bro.👍👌
Good to know as I have been wondering if this was needed since I got my 130i. So gearbox oil, diff oil and engine coolant never need to be changed, right?
Mate if your in U.K. we do not need to change none of this crap it’s all crap I have never and I mean never in my life of owning 30 BMWS all with even 230k had gearbox , diff oil changed
Only time I change coolant is when it’s time to change coolant pump but that is not something regular on N52 because pump lasts along time
Damn now I can’t decide lol. I’ll go with your advice dr dean. However if I live in state in the Us where it’s usually humid it gets cold but I’d say it never gets below 40 here
Hi Dean. Is it a myth or a fact that you can perform a reset of the automatic transmission by holding down the accelerator pedal etc. Mine is a UK E90 330i 2009 with the N53 engine. Would appreciate inside info, Thanyou
It’s not a myrh, on many cars you can reset. Just people think they need a reset when something’s is actually wrong and they want a free throttle reset to fix all of the problems.
Change your oils regularly never just leave your oils,
yep and then BANG when you change it I can talk as my car is high mileage without a change and still rolling strong and smooth as day one
I'm living in western Australia, and the amout of cheap e9xs that are ruined from lack of maintenance it's shocking, if you don't change the auto trains fluid every 80.000km it's shortens the life significantly,
I've got an e92 that gets regular auto trans flushes just for the sake of it lol, and it's on 220.000km n52,
But I can agree if the fluid is not regularly changed then it can cause problems, but them problemz wouldn't exist if the fluid was changed regularly =)
Hallo Bro
I have chenge mi gearbox oil for e91 after that i have gearbox proplem with cod 4f85 und 4f95 do you have a suggestin what is the proplem
I’ve got a ZF box on my X5 E53 with an M57 engine, living in Australia. Should I be changing the transmission fluid or not mate?
Should you be changing oil in the engine or not?
I got told today it will cost me on my 06 325xi E90 $680 just to do the Labor if I get the parts? I live in Ohio USA

How long does it take for gearbox oil to warm up?
it takes around 5-10 mins
You mentioned the flonk on the diesel and that it is the engine mounts mine does it but only when it's in P when I start it and if I pull the Handbrake it doesn't I have a 525d 2008 automatic and its happening when the car is cold but also when it's warm sry for bad English I'm from germany
yes mate its a common problem on diesel because of them vacuum operated mounts they split or sometimes the vacuum pipe breaks due to where they are heat breaks them
Good vid bro
thanks mate
Great video Dean. I agree. My car spent most of its life in TEXAS, where the temperature can hit over a hundred, in the shade all the time, in the summers. And that can last up to four months of the year. And, the winters can be the exact opposite. Changing the fluid is a must for long life of the transmissions.
thanks lance you are correct mate yes in them climates I would change it aswell mate
