I really can't thank you enough. Thank you so much. I had this done at my mechanic twice now, and so, this will be the third. Saved me tons of money!! One thing that was missed, was completing the coolant bleed procedure. Key on (not started), heater to max heat, lowest blower setting, press accelerator to floor for 10 seconds. Will run for about 10 minutes. I suggest hooking it up to a battery charger. Check the level, top off when done!
Electric Taco glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!!
My thoughts exactly.. It's the best way to bleed the air out of the system anytime you open any coolant hose. Great video though!
Very good video, not the tipical useless intro, you just got to the point, thank you
DT DT glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching!
Had to remind myself how to do this. I changed out these gaskets a year ago and Ive just noticed some oil on the front of the block the other day. Its not that much at all but cant believe its only a year. Someone told me not to use aftermarket gaskets and only buy BMW
same here, did mine about 2 years ago only to find out my car was pissing oil down the front of the block from the thermostat housing. Sucks because this wasn't a fun repair the first time so I doubt I'll enjoy it the second time around either
After watching this video, I am confident I can do this repair/PM Thank Brian
Did this today. Your video was extremely helpful. Thanks.
Hi Brian, Thank you for this Video. It is excellent!! I appreciate all the work you do.
WolfLobo glad to help. Thank you for watching!
Great video. He has good views of hard to see bolts and also shows how to remove parts from clips or how much pressure to apply.
@howtoautomotive Excellent video man! Gave awesome step by step instructions. By far one of the best auto videos I have seen. Helped give me the confidence in performing this job myself!
Thanks so much for your help! didn't know when I bought a used bmw that I would be the mechanic. Can't afford service rates. I've worked on cars for years but not these modern units.
Bruce Unruh BMW's are crazy to keep up but when you get used to working on them there not to bad.
This was a great DIY, concise but sufficient. Just performed this today on my 2007 335xi, only took 3.5 hours and really not as tough as I thought.
Really appreciated your video Brian. You showed the how-to's for everything to do this repair. I just saved myself ~$1500 on my 2008 BMW 335Xi. Took me the better part of a day to complete the repair. Had I paid attention to all the tools required, it would have really only taken 3-4 hours. Great instructions!
Glad the video was helpful and save you a Ton of money. Thank you for watching!
Wow - What i would give for a garage and the know how to about BM's Thank you sir for the vid.
Box end 8mm iirc 12 point normal wrench works just as good if you don't have the E10 wrench. Same for the other bolts. (For anyone in a pinch)
Great video, deff the top diy out of them all
Thank you so much!! your video helped me a lot!! thanks again..
Won Kim glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Great Video. Everyone be careful not to strip the OFH bolts.
GREAT video... will follow to a T when I do mine. Thanks again.
Eugene Semenov let me know how it comes out. Thank you for watching!
Really good how to video, followed step by step and got it done in about 6 hours with an oil change in there as well. Now dealing with spilt oil and coolant, is pressure washing the front really safe? What about electrical connections up there?
Thank you for this video.
Ariano Robb thank you for writing and watching!
You are absolutely amazing.. My poor BMW is messed up.. The oil leak cause the belt to break, so this must be fixed as well and the oil has mixed with the coolant, so needs a coolant flush. Mechanics want $15000.. No way I can afford this. I have the parts and watching this video help me tremendously.. Wish me luck fixing my car! got this!
Frau Niemand sorry your having car trouble. Glad the video will help good luck with the repairs!
Frau Niemand how did you determine the two were mixing ? Found oil in your reservoir ?
lmao what, 15000 , theyre crazy
15 000$ lol nah this guy must have wanted to write 1500$?
great video,thanks
i there was a leak how would you clean the oil all over the front of the engine which is super close to the belts?
Great video
Deivis Henao thank you and thank you for watching!
I didnt have the wrench so i took of that hose to get to that bottom bolt of the ofh. So i need the gasket because its leaking. what hose is that called?
Thanks for the video, always help to see a video instead of just going at it with the TIS manuals. Will do this on my newly acquired 335is!
TheMidnightNarwhal that’s a sweet ride! Enjoy it.
Haha thanks! My only worry are the turbos I hope they don't go soon
TheMidnightNarwhal They’re pretty strong on that car. I’ve only done one in the last for five years.
Oh yeah? See on the forums I read bad stories but IMO it all comes down to maintenance and if the car was drove hard before opearting temp and tuning IMO. Car I got has about 56K miles, got enough $ on the side for DIY Injector or HPFP or water pump.
TheMidnightNarwhal yes the one turbo I did see the vehicle has severe lack of maintenance
I thought in video you said you don’t need to take off coolant hose to block. Why wer u replacing o ring?
Great video
Did you put any sealant on the gaskets just to make sure is sealed ???
kokovq no it doesn't need any sealant. The factory dose not use sealants on it ether. Thank you writing.
Nice vid, I need to do these on my car s well and I have a question. I've seen vids where they use a swivel with a torx to remove the screw behind the intake, how come you removed it all? Is there any benefits in removing the entire I take along with all the hoses?
more room, but swivel is less time..how did it turn out? I need to do this asap
Just about done with this install but for the oil cooler line Do I put the orings on the lines or in the holes in the housing?
iGotThemBuZzin put the prongs on the lines.
Hi and thanks for this video to showing how we could get job done! It seem to be little tough and lot of work, but it could be done by seen this video. I agree crazy car to keep fit always, lot of work but nice to have! Any idea where to find list of torgue of different parts of thi motor? I have 335i A cabriolet 2008 N54 Thanks!
Ari Suomi you can check out Alldata/DIY.com they'll have all the specs You need.
Ari Suomi thank you for watching and writing!!
Did you take off the splash guard on the bottom when draining some of the coolant?
Mango Productions yes and I wash them off after I'm done with a pressure washer.
My 2009 335i , have oil in coolant reservoir and might have coolant in engine . Don't think it could be from oil cooler/oil filter gasket wear ??
Rafael Aviles I have seen the oil cooler/housing feel and mix the coolant and oil.
did you re-use the oil filter housing bolts? I thought they are used once aluminum bolts.
ThisLaoGuy On this model they are steel. But if yours are aluminum definitely replace them.
Since your unbolting the intake do u need to replace that gasket too?
Andrew Ward The intake manifold have O-rings and not a gasket. It is a good idea to change them if it has a lot of miles on them if it's fairly new low miles you can get away of reusing them. There is links in the description for the O-rings.
Do you have to use a e10 wrench and socket or is there some sort of alternative?
If you have a 12 point 7/16 wrench or socket that will work.
So i'm not draining my coolant before i do the replacement, I know i'll lose a little coolant from the hose, but when i put it back together --- am i in the clear to drive it 15-20 minutes to my auto shop to have oil and coolant change? Or do i have to fill it up with more coolant?
gamecast92 makes sure it’s full.
How do you torque down the bolt with that e10 wrench? Just by hand or something
mobbdaily yes by hand
Nice job! Do you know what torque specs you used?
3 bolts M8x20 facing front of the car: 16nm
The bolts mounting the housing to the engine:
M8x78 M8x48 and M8x28
All showing a spec of 22nm.
@How To Automotive...can either a failed oil filter housing gasket or oil cooler gasket cause oil to get into the cooling system?
Snkeyez951 Snkeyez951 i’ve seen the oil cooler gasket that’s mounted onto the oil filter housing malfunction. I believe that BMW has an updated part for it also.
Thank you for your reply. I was told by the dealership that my valve cover gasket is failing causing a leak as well as the gaskets on my oil filter housing. I have oil in my coolant expansion tank, and I am trying to confirm if either of the diagnosed leaks would cause a cross contamination. It seems coolant and oil run through the cooler/housing mechanism very close to one another. I wonder if the housing/cooler gasket failed bad enough, it could allow oil to get into the coolant side. Great videos BTW.
Thank you just order the part....
Nick Cabral glad to help. I thought I had put that link in the description.
Hey, thanks for the great video, the dealer wanted $1600 to replace these. At 11:40, you talk about putting new o-rings on the oil lines, but as far as I can tell, I only have an o-ring on the one on the left. Should both of those lines have an o-ring?
I just opened mine yesterday, I only had an O ring on the right one. I think thats where my leak was coming from. The gasket itself looks good but the leak and mess is coming from that housing. The missing O ring seems to be the only culprit I could find.
@@dirrtyxris3919 I definitely had a slow oil leak, I was adding oil periodically, and there was residue around the underside/front of the oil filter housing. My 2008 original gaskets were stiff, but not brittle, and there wasn't an obvious defect in them to explain loss of oil, so I wonder if the missing ring on mine is the explanation. Thanks for the response.
are the links for every tool you need to replace these gaskets?
Angel Chuca the links are for the parts and for some of the specialty tools not the basic hand tools.
Did you cover the alternator at all when you decided to clean there? I am wanting to make sure mine is spotless when i do this job and am wondering. I am also not sure how i am going to get it to somewhere i can power wash it lol
foxxrider250r I did not cover the alternator. I did pressure wash it after the job was done.
How to Automotive okay is that not something that would matter do ya think? Whats your opinion?
I know the video has some cutting out, how long did this take you to do?
Andy Bewsee labor time is around 3 hours. It took me two including filming it.
Slight technical correction. The proper way to install back quick connects hose and pipes is to push the clip back in first and push it so it clicks in place.
Thank you soo much!!!
JDMCrave thank you for writing!
I had a bmw mechanic shop replace the oil filter housing gasket and now my water pump keeps running after i shut off the car...And there was oil inside the coolant box..any idea what these guys might have done wrong? Thanks!
Eric Moreno as far as the pump running after the engine is off I’m not sure what they did or if they did everything, The coolant in the world could be one of two things the oil filter housing gasket is leaking internally. Or when they took the oil filter housing off cylinder head the coolant drained into the engine block and they did not drain the old oil and coolant out of it.
How to Automotive ok thanks i keep that in mind.. im gonna take back to them .
Did you remove the serpentine before this job? I'm worried about spilling oil and coolant on it and having it slip into the engine.
Brian Bates I did not remove it on this job. Our use a pressure washer afterwords to clean everything off. If you’re worried about it I would remove it though.
@@HowtoAutomotive Thank you for your reply and doing the video. I've ordered all the parts. Hopefully, will go smoothly.
Brian Bates I have faith it’ll go smooth. 👍
Just followed this video. I have tools but maybe im a novice. It took me about 6 hours to do this.
Thunder Thumbz this is not an easy one. Glad you were able to get it done and the video helped. Thank you for watching!
You made it seem easy lol. I was cussing at the end but I am glad i saved like $400.
How many orings Do I need for the lines back on
iGotThemBuZzin there are links in the description of the video for all the gaskets and O-rings.
I see the link but how many do I get just 2 ? Or does it require more
Did you drain the oil first?
Jacob Timmers I recommend draining it after you do the job. That way if anything falls in like coolant you can drain it out.
At 6 minutes you show to remove a hose attached to the oil cooling system. but on my 2010 n54 I do not have that..
Mathieu Hoziel that means your car does not have a cooler and it's just one less step you have to do.
Thank you very much for your quick response!!
Mathieu Hoziel glad to help thank you for watching!
Is it possible to do the job without removing the intake manifold? If not no biggie
No, i tried it actually, you have to remove the intake manifold, just to get to it. It's a pain in the A$$...and these bolts are aluminum, so be really careful with them.
@@Dude-yo5ec alright thank you.
Why do you need to take the filter off?
MotoTubeMulti The housing itself has a gasket that leaks oil. And I change the filter due to possible contamination.
I replaced the gasket for a elring one and the leaking still there, what can it be?
MotoTubeMulti oil Filter housing, cam sensors at the front of it, or valve cover.
How to Automotive i replaced the oil filter housing gasket and the leaking still there coming from it
"as well as all the other tools... SHUT UP BILL I"M MAKING A VIDEO FOR CZcams. as well as all the other tools..." great stuff though not that i can do this but at least i know what the work involves so my mechanic can't screw me and be like oh i need to do this and this and this. which is what always happens.
lol there was green coolant
You are rough as hell with this car.
BucketheadLS1 what do you mean?
Exactly what I said. You aren't careful with this car at all.
BucketheadLS1 it's a car not a baby. Obviously you never worked on cars before.
LOL, wrong. I own a 2010 335i N54 and replaced my own spark plugs and coil packs, so I literally took off many of the things you did. I do a lot of my own work on it.
I was much more gentle with all the clips, covers, and plastic parts. You just pull everything like it can't break.
And a tip...you are clearly trying to start a CZcams channel. Maybe actually show how to do stuff versus just talking and cutting out all the actual work portions. That's why your videos have like no views. Also, don't be so rough.
BucketheadLS1 would you really want to watch me pull every single nut and bolt off this job? The book Labor time on this Valve cover job is 6 1/2 hours. No one would watch a video that long. I applaud you for working on your own car. Making these videos is a tough job. My channel is new but is growing very fast. I recommend you subscribe you were definitely learn a few things. And her did not mean to disrespect you.
Great video
Jack Gaffney thank you!
