Hi! I've question for you. I've got BMW Z4 2003, 2,5L. The problem is that when you push gas pedal hard, car accelerating, but when it comes to 3000 rpm engine goes to "emergency mode" (I don't know what is called, RPM jumps from 1000 to 1500 and back). If don't push gas pedal hard - it runs good. I've change intake pipe already and cleaned idle control valve. Errors shows - MAF sensor and idle valve. What would you recommend to do?
I can’t believe you didn’t start it up at the end. It was still a very good detailed video of how to remove and clean and reinstall the idle valve and it shows removal of the disa valve pretty well as well. Good job on that.
rocking the free world. good job ! tempo, density, voice, description, volume all good stuff. good production.
Just bought a 325i that was quoted as needing this replaced at the mechanics for a crazy high price. With this now I’m just going to buy one and do it myself! Thanks a ton!
everything on these cars is quoted for insane price... only buy e46 if youre capable of repairing it yourself because for most the parts are fairly cheap
I have an E83 X3 with this same M54B30 engine. Your videos are the most detailed and easy to follow of any I've found on the M54. Keep them coming and thanks for the informative video!
Matt, thank you.
Thanks for Video. Worked for me Thanks again
Thanks dude. Very helpful.
Was the EGR valve located same place in E83. I would need to do this jobe in my e83 3.0i. Thanks!
very clear video and instruction. Thanks a lot.
I have a 2005 BMW X5 which was throwing the 4X4 / brake /eml codes and going into limp mode.
The suggested fix to try was to clean the idle control valve. Your video was excellent and very easy to follow.
After cleaning the valve - and clearing the codes everything is running great! Cleared up a bit of a rough idle as well! This was especially helpful to me as I am in Mexico and finding a good mechanic with BMW experience is tough!
This guy is the truth. I am in the process of getting a X5 2006 preferably 3.0. With these kinds of videos, I am confident to DO IT MYSELF!!!!
Used your instruction to solve my erratic idle on my 2002 525i. I had to remove a couple extra hoses to make reinstalling the cleaned idle control valve easier but no big deal. Problem solved! Very good video. Thanks.
Best tutorial on CZcams. I was always nervous of this job but after watching this video showing perfect angles of everything I feel more confident. 👍👍
Thank you SO much! My e60 520i stopped when i put it in drive or reverse and didnt run clean, it hesistated while driving and died if i revved in park. This fixed it! Lots of love!
Great video, clear instructions and camera angles ... worked very well in removing ICV for a clean on my 06 325i Msport touring which started idling rough, running extra lean, no O2 sensor gauge action on startup. Thanks very much!
Thanks for that! Had multiple codes including Idle control valve on my E46 2.2 320i. Cleaned the idle control valve and the disa. Also bypassed the CVS and then had to replace the MAF sensor (got a second hand one from a Volvo - same Siemens unit) and then 1 dodgy coil. Now running like new!
Excellent instruction with concise description and clear images. Nice work. I just bought a 2006 X3 so I look forward to checking out more of your videos of working on the M54. I'm a newbie, hobby mechanic wrenching on my own rides for fun - this type of video is invaluable.
Congrats on the new ride! I appreciate it, I hope these videos help you out and save you some cash!
Hi Zeit
Thanks for small reply. I’ve recently cleaned my control valve and prior to removal and inspection, it’s surprisingly in a perfect condition the fact that mileage has reached 300 plus for a 2004. This is my third BMW I’ve owned, E36 320i, E36 325i but I’ve always have a soft spot for the first generation X5 especially with the M54B30 version. Just easy to maintain and so reliable. I would like to own a E39 which is what you have purchased recently and the leather seat as you mentioned is in perfect condition.
From Australia.
Thanks for the great video. I could get my ICV serviced on my e39 520. You explained very clearly step by step making job very easy. Car is also idling smooth
your videos are the best DIYs. Excellent camera work and very thorough explanations.
Seriously well done video! Fast forward at all the right places! Thanks for posting, bro!
Cleanest BMW engine I’ve ever seen. I haven’t seen many but I’ve seen a few and you got me wanting to clean my engine up
Really nice how-to video! Thanks for sharing. Will be doing this in the morning. Hope it fixes the problem.
Thanks, pulled mine out today followed every step. Getting the air box out was somewhat harder than I thought.
Removing the air box is not required
your videos are very detailed i watched a few and accomplished a lot on my 04 325i thank you keep it going
Thanks Prince, appreciate it!
Nicely done. Used this video on a newly acquired 02 525i with a bit of a lumpy idle and can feel improvement. I gutted the DISA before cleaning the ICV though (in preparation of G.A.S. kit), so not sure if that'd change much too.
Very nice and clear video, specially the close-ups under the intakemanifold are very useful! Thank you so much!
Thanks for a well edited educational video.
Your a confident mechanic with a real talent for for using your knowledge and experience to make it easy to understand what why & how to be extremely careful and conscientious of every step by step procedures that must be carefully performed to do the job correct.
I have a question. Will an idle valve on a E83, 2.5, 24 valve straight 6 cylinder with 160,000 miles on it be the reason the engine idles at 900 rpms in park and in drive with the brakes on. I don’t know what the idle for that engine is and I will look it up but I know from the clunk the automatic transmission makes when downshifting 900 rpms is to high.
Sir, your videos are always great, so professional technically and regarding video and sound quality.
I was looking for a video to change the lower intake boot on my E39 530i.
I think this will help a lot.
Great video, I have a question. Do I need to take it out to clean it Or I I can just spray the cleaner when I expose the inlet of IAC valve?
Straight forward, thorough, and overall good video!
Excellent. Great video angles. When cold at stop light, RPM's drop until ECU corrects. Will do soon. Not critical yet.
Clear and concise, the way all tutorials should be..
Hi Bimmer Zeit, thank you for the time you took to make this clear and sweet video for us to understand how to remove the idle control valve. it has helped me to do the removal of mine with ease. thank you again.
Thank you for watching, and happy to help!
Awesome video! Love all your videos!! Question, did you clean the DISA valve before you put it back in?
Great video I changed bank 2 of 2 now 2xs and still getting code p056 think this is certainly worth a try.
Finally! A good video on getting to that idle control valve! Only after watching your video did I realise there was a rubber hose behind the ICV, the rest of the videos had shitty lighting and bad camera angles. I'm going to be cleaning my ICV and replacing the DISA and both rubber boots.
Thanks, much appreciated! Good luck, the hard work is worth it!
while you're down there taking stuff off get the fucking crank position sensor as well, thank me later
I'm having same problem with the 1093 code so far nobody can solve this problem
Excellent video, good job. I will do the same , hope this will get rid of the P1093 code in my 2005 X5 3.0
Thank you very much for the video. It helps us a lot.
Now we have a question we have a 2003 BWM X5 3.0. When is on is making a sunod and shake like if the sparks plugs are damaged but they are not. I replaced them.
And when we disconnect the smart sensor stopped doing it.
Can you helped with any suggestions?
Thank you
Excellent video, exceptional clear narrative! Thanks so much, it encourages greatly to do this!
Thank you Frank! Good luck, report back how it turned out.
Nice clear, concise and detailed video! Thanks for posting!
thanks for very helpful video. i belive that the process is very similar on m52tu motor
same issue with P1093 , doing it first thing tomorrow morning.
Thank You !!!~!
Thank you for the effort by making this video.
That was a 10/10 video, nicely done
Outstanding presentation the steps are easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great video.
Pam, thank you that means a lot!
Hey! Thanks for the video! Did you just use brake cleaner for it?
Very nice clear video close up view and good explanation. Thanks man!!!
Excelents explanations of all. You rock buddy.
Great video, very helpful. You've made this an easy job.
BRAVO from Buldalia!!!! Very help me!
Also in my case, the icv hose didn't come out, as yours did. Maybe my version of the 330i doesn't have that rubber piece. The icv unplug and plug back into a hose that I can see. So maybe 2 versions of icv connection implementation.
great video, many thanks. will a bad icv, or one thats going bad, cause idle surges? i have a 2000 320i with 40k miles and if i let it idle long enough, it will surge for 10 - 15 seconds then normalize. it also surges, sometimes just a few times, after switching off an accessory (headlights, a/c for eg) during idle. few days ago, after driving for about 2 hours in crawling, 2mph traffic in tokyo, the engine suddenly shut down. I was able to restart it immediately with no problem. there were no codes. what do you think?
Excellent walk through, thanks a million
If only all tutorials were like this.. thank you for this.
Could this same valve be the issue to car hiccuping sometimes during driving?
This is the most clear and easy to understand thank you the video explanations
Nicasio Felix thanks man happy to have helped
You are a really good teacher. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind comment, I appreciate u!
best tutorial i've seen in awhile... thank you!!!
thanks Jeremy! happy holidays bro
Do you have a vid like this on how to clean your throttle body on this same vehicle???
Thanks for the tutorial Bimmer Zeit, excellent, now I can remove & clean my ICV👍👊👏
Franco, thank you
Hi and thanks for the video. I just bought a brand new Bosch idler control. When I shake the idler as you show, there's no rattling sound. I tried many times with a lot of hand force, still no rattling sound. Should I return it? Thanks
Awesome vídeo! That is exactly what I need to do with my 328i 2000
excellent video thanks for teaching.ask how clean the throttle body or butterfly of bmw 530i. greetings from chile
Changed camshaft and exhaust sensors, brand new oem coil packs. This must be the fix for this rough idling and power loss would you think so?
Very informative videos. Learning so much about my BMW with your videos and saving myself some serious $.
Thank you Dan, great to hear that!
Thank you for creating the exact video I needed to rescue my x5!
Thanks John!
Hello and good video. Wich kind of cleaner spray you've used? can you give the name or trademark? thanks!
Good job on the video keep them coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent video and instructions. Thanks
i have an m54 engine. I am assuming you are in the US. I am in the UK and have a euro m54. Just wondering of itll be the same set up for removing and cleaning the icv on a euro car ?
Hi @BIMMER ZEIT ,
Thanks for you sharing, it is really clear, but after I finish cleaning the valve, it starts to make high frequency noises, and the idle rpm raises( from 650 to 750).
Is this normal? Or I break my idle control valve?
Good job , I am having engine shake in morning M54 what that could be ?
Hey awesome video! I'm getting a P1093 on a 2006 X5 3.0 Do you think that this is causing my code? And do you recommend I clean or just replace it? Thank you so much for your time and help! Ed
How can you tell if the gray rubber tube is inserted correctly into the intake manifold tube?
Having a rough idle on start and not great acceleration on my 2000 e46. I replaced the pre-cat 02 sensors, and am now getting a P0340 camshaft position sensor. I wonder if this is why? with your e54, you didn't have to remove the airbox & MAF?
So did this fix the p1093?
Best video I have came across! Geeze you nailed it!
Ross A thanks Ross hope it works for you!
I'm trying to get the idle control valve off and I removed all the T40's but it's like if it's stuck
Thanks, great description on removal, cleaning and install.
What’s the difference in this and the ccv valve test? Are both of these for lean conditions bank 1 and 2? How do you know which one to do?
Thank you so much for this
You saved me so much money ty!!
do you need to replace the DISA o-ring once you take it off?
Bimmer Zeit: Thanks for the encouragement. The Disa, icu, and throttle body cleaning job went smoothly; though very time consuming. Would like to share my experience. 1. Disa: the o-ring is not really an o-ring, it's glued on, very tight. Therefore no official BMW part. Some after market vendor in EBay, but O'Reilley doesn't carry it. It's a pain to pick and scoop out the broken (easily) ring, as it split into small pieces. So easier would be to use gasket maker to paste over the existing (flattened) ring. 2. it would be easier to remove the icu with the inside boot removed first. 3. in my case to remove the inner boot hose (with the 2 screws turned downward) was really a pain and tested my patience and lots of time. 4. While at it, why not also clean the throttle body? Overall, it patted myself for a job well done!
Thanks for sharing your experience Frank, and good work getting it done on your own. No doubt saved yourself hundreds from a mechanic, and is satisfying knowing it was done right by doing it yourself!
It' nearly identical to the M52TU engine. Thank you for the video.
Thx zeit! Did it myself saved me some $$$😀
Cheers 🍺 mate , that was very helpful.
Very informative video, Thanks buddy
sorry, how can I clean the body from the acceleration of the bmw 530i e39, do I have to disconnect the battery? And how do I move the butterfly?
Your are the best my dear friend. You rock!. Thank you from Chile.
Un compatriota, saludos.
También sufriendo con el motor del BMW?
Si, limpiezas preventivas principalmente. Es que tengo una X1 de las nuevas (tracción delantera) y turbo y además un Z4, pero definitivamente los motores atmosféricos son un lujo incomparable, la sensación y el sonido, que lamentable ya no se podrán seguir disfrutando porque ahora BMW ya no los fabrica. Entonces cuido mi Z4 como hijo único. Y tú?
the clamp screw thats attached to the ICV on my car is broken, the top of it has pretty much gone flat for whatever reason, so there is no way of me unscrewing it. is there a way of breaking the clamp??? or am i totally screwed?
Very well done.
Wow thanks a lot saved my life 😢
great video man, i was just wondering is it the same procedures for the e60 530i 2004?
I believe the 2004 530i also has the M54 engine. If so, then yes it will be very similar. The intake boot and air box might be slightly different, that's it
Great video!!.. you help me very much!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Nice video, and well made. Do you know if this process is similar on an E39?
Hey Kris, yes this is the same process on all M54 engines. The only difference is the slight change in the airbox designs between models.
does the hose next to the oil stick close to that aluminum threaded hose is supposed to connect to anything? I have a 04 x5 3.0i and mine is loose not connecting to anything. at 5:05 in the video
i agree with matt very detailed thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for watching Lloyd!
I have an issue with my 2001 530i giving me only 13 mpg driving mostly in city, I’ve seen people saying the ICV could be causing me low mpg, do you think doing this could help? Thanks
Cleaned mine tonight. Still have the code unfortunately... great help showing how to remove the part! Thank you
Which code?
Thank you for the video really clear explain
Thanks so much from Thailand.
Thank you Sang!
What did ypu use to clean the dc valve?
Thank you
99 e30, very helpful!
