Finally its out. it 6 pieces. The neck broke off - (original issue) and when I removed the bolts and pried the neck away from the block, it just snapped. Half of the neck remained in the block, the rest came out. I tried to pull the remaining pieces broke. Then when all the pieces were out I had to get the o-ring out as well. What a PITA job. Tomorrow the installation. Looking for the fun time ! While I'm doing this I decided to do the other plastic water connector which is on the driver side of the block. Only the alternator, air filter, intake manifold, idle valve, etc. has to come out :-) BMW's genius idea of making everything plastic that connects to water.
Much easier if you remove the windshield cowl, unhook the engine harness from the engine bay body. Then unbolt the two gearbox mounting nuts and tilt the transmission box by jacking it up, now you have lots of room between the engine and firewall.
mine was in a lot more rough shape than that. I also didnt use wrenchs instead i used a socket and a long flat head screw driver. Reached in with my arm on drivers side.
I started on the work, E36 1996 318i M42. Its a lot less room. Half of it. I will attempt to raise the back of the transmission to tilt the engine down, and gain some room. Its impossible to get to at the moment. Less then 2" of room and lots of sharp stuff there.
when doing this task be very careful NOT to cross thread the bolts!..the threads are on the engine head itself and if the threads get damaged then you are screwed!
Bought the car today, popped the thick plastic part from this connectot. This video will help a lot with me going to try and replace it! But it probably won't keep me from swearing... Do you have the part number by any chance?
Stephen Hollins in this video i don't remove anything. But, i have a friend with the same problem like you, and i suggest him to remove the cylinder head cover first. i hope it can help you too
@@motoren_works Thank you very much for this video. Mine broke last night, leaving a piece in the hose. I order a valve cover gasket and the tube, hoping it would be easier to remove the cover. It's leaking anyway.
@@motoren_works no stress!! Ill buy that and one spec below and above to make sure i get the right one!! Thank you for answering my question on this old of a video!!
@@surya_infinity dulu sy pernah iseng buka tutup oli kondisi mesin nyala, setelah dibuka mesin pincang. Kalau oli sudah kecampur air pendingin, harus turun setengah/head
@@surya_infinitybukan hanya ganti packing saja om. Cek juga permukaan cylinder head (cek video ini: czcams.com/video/_LzRHOzo5Kc/video.html) dan permukaan blok mesin. Kalau permukaannya ada yg melenting, maka harus di resurface biar rata kembali. Kalau permukaan melenting, ganti packing pun tetap akan ada air/oli yg nyeberang
Yes, i did. I use the after market pipe. In my opinion, the o-ring pipe that i used in this video is not really fit, so leakage still occur. That the reason why i used rtv, to prevent from the leak. If someday the leak occur again, i think i will change the o-ring with another after market o-ring that fit with the engine coolant hole
motoren works if the rtv works then it works. I’m leaning towards using rtv even though I have the genuine bmw oem parts so I don’t have to dissamble again if ever it leaks.
I would never use aftermarket part in something like this. Also the RTV was there before, same red one. So I assume BMW put it in with RTV as well. I would like to get an aluminium replacement and weld it in there. This is a stupidest thing ever and to replace it is a nightmare. Doing it right now !
kalo di m43 dengan kondisi mesin inline four yg segitu sudah agak ribet :). waktu bukanya sih gampang om, yg agak ribet itu waktu masang dan ngepasin bautnya. kebutuhan coolant setelah itu sy gak ngitung om, yg jelas coolant tidak saya keluarkan seluruhnya. Bawa saja satu galon kalo ada lebih bisa untuk cadangan.
Do you happen to know which hose exactly did you remove at roughly 3:53? I had my M44B19 blow out that certain hose and I’ve been trying to figure out which one it is so I can replace it.
Switch yg di sebelah kanan nempel radiator om? Kalau iya, dulu pernah ganti tp videonya belum diedit. Lepas - pasangnya gampang kok om tinggal pake kunci pas/kunci inggris
@@MrTPoops i think so, because the m44 engine dimension bigger tha m43, it is quite difficult to remove and install the connector. However, before you remove the intake manifold why you don't try to remove the intake manifold cover first. If this step still can't make an enough space, the last way is remove the intake.
codenamecordon i'm sorry, i can't answer your question because i never do this steps in e46. Basically, this steps in e36 are tough because of the connector position
motoren works okay, I know that on the E46 with the M43TU engine, the location is same - behind the engine near the firewall, but I thought maybe you know if there is extra space (or less space). The car has a pretty big coolant leak. I have already changed the expansion tank, upper radiator hose, distributor under the intake manifold, but still leaking. Always after changing a part, the leak slows down for a bit and then comes back even worse. Really running out of ideas already.
codenamecordon i see. In my opinion, i think the space doesn't too much different. If there is leak comes out after you change the part, try to apply the RTV sealer too.
motoren works I think cleaning the hole very well before you connect the connector is a must to ensure leaks won’t happen. But it’s just hard to do it at the back.
Just did mine, what a brutal task. Definitely, drained my coolant first. For god sake, put the blue coolant in!!!
Very Many Thanks, As far as I can see, this is the only video to cover this job. Much appreciated.

Awesome video! made it look so easy i had to take the wiper grille off to get more room to work and that still wasnt enough room
Nas Jacobson thank you, i think for m43 there is more room if compare to other bmw engine type
really great video answers all the questions by actually showing installation thank you!!
Much easier if you remove the windshield cowl, unhook the engine harness from the engine bay body. Then unbolt the two gearbox mounting nuts and tilt the transmission box by jacking it up, now you have lots of room between the engine and firewall.
This is the answer or tip I was looking for !!!! Thank you.
You are my God..
Thank's for video..
It help so much..bravo..
mine was in a lot more rough shape than that. I also didnt use wrenchs instead i used a socket and a long flat head screw driver. Reached in with my arm on drivers side.
Cheers dude. Rtv is a must have for that and the oil filter housing gasket.
jaz chahal yeah, you're right :D
You are so right XD

It's true
Same stuff, new connector with gasket and after a month it started leaking again. Might try rtv also, hope it will work.
Replace the o-ring with another good quality too.
@@motoren_worksis ur coolant flange ok now?
@@wizdunker5888 yes, it's okay
Thanks for the video man! But can you tell me, where the coolant drain bolt is located, on the engine block M43B18?
Nice
Thanks man this is a great one guessing it’s the same on my m44b19
whats the name of the hose itself!..as my problem is not the housing but leaks at the clap of the hose!..just need to replace my hose!
Connector, part number 11 53 1 743 679. To check another part you can see on website bmwfans.info

what did you remove to get down there I have the same problem and cant get my hand down there

video footage from hell
all things considered the person that made this clip did really well or is that what you meant?
What spec are the bolts holding the connector in?? My ex owner snapped one inside the block and ive got it extracted and need to replace the bolt
To remove the bolt i used 10 mm offset ring/socket wrench. About the bolt spec i think it is the M6. Sorry if i'm wrong
@@motoren_works no stress!! Ill buy that and one spec below and above to make sure i get the right one!!

I have to do this today....... again XD not looking forward to it, great vid

mas itu kenapa ya , pada saat mesin nyala kalau tutup oli dibuka mesin langsung mati, mesin M43
Sepengetahuan sy, mesin pincang dan akhirnya mati

Kalau oli sudah kecampur air pendingin, harus turun setengah/head

I’m confused with the rtv because others say coolant is enough on the o-rings and as long as you use oem. Did you use after market coolant pipe?

I'd like to know what camera you are using?
I'm use asus phone camera
Is this the same on the m44 engine
I know the connector is in the same place but i wonder if theres enough space to do this on an m44 without removing the intake manifold

I'm a little dissapointed in the BMW engineers. Both the top and bottom bolt are a same size and neither one is a hex. WTF ? Its too easy !
