Ditches after the bar lol or mad deer hunter 😜🤪😂

We are enjoying the project and hope to have another video of it ready to publish in the near future!

@ sounds wonderful. Can’t wait to see her on the road 🤞🏾

Yep! Original alternator. 😃 We had it rebuilt and just picked it up this afternoon. Just needed new brushes. Looking forward to reinstalling it in Beemer. We are hopeful that that is the extent of this breakdown.

@ what did that run you to have it rebuilt? I have three to rebuild.

@@BMWBAS $88. and less than a 24 hour turnaround!

@ that’s incredible! I spent around 400 bucks on a new OEM one from Valeo.

Sorry to hear you had the same issue. We made it home safely thanks to the tow company.

We believe the bolts are Torx head.

We did not document the tools used on this repair.

Yuuup

Looks like your SCR went bye bye and is no longer letting DEF into the exhaust.

Thanks for the recommendations. We have added over 40K miles to the odometer since the cooler replacement. So far, no issues with the new cooler or the repair. 😄

@ that’s amazing how many miles are you up to now!?

@@BMWBAS 258,806 miles!

@ that’s fantastic! My daily X5 is up to 203920. And I have another I’m going through now that has 227XXX.

There aren't any lines going to the cooler except for the charge air hose on each end that run from the turbo to the intake.

Tacomas have this same knob and mine broke off this weekend. It's a real problem. I'm due for a service and I'd bet my dealer down the street just keeps a box of these things sitting around.

Thanks. Our "Beemer" playlist has several videos showing some of the repairs and routine maintenance we have done. I am Beemer's second owner. When I bought it almost 8 years ago, Beemer was still under warranty and had less than 20K miles. Today, Beemer is closing in on 260K miles. I still LOVE driving it!!! In my opinion, its greatest strength is how well it combines being fun to drive while also doing an excellent job with the family, grocery, and travel categories. Beemer's biggest weakness has consistently been with emission/def. Several repairs and recalls under warranty and several repairs since. As I type this, I am looking at the def hose that we need to install on Beemer to replace the leaking one. I have come to accept that emissions/def system issues and repairs will always be a part of owning and driving Beemer. Something to consider is the cost of routine maintenance and repairs. We decided to do as much as we could ourselves after I paid the dealer $500. for an oil change and fuel filter. My dad's willingness and ability to maintain and repair Beemer have enabled me to continue to afford owning and driving it. If I had to depend on a dealership, the annual maintenance and repair cost would likely be more than Beemer's monetary value. Parts are never cheap, but I have always found an affordable option. Sometimes I buy Genuine BMW, sometime good quality aftermarket, and occasionally a used takeoff. If off-road ability is high on your list, I would not recommend this vehicle. I know it was marketed as being off-road capable; but as someone who was accustomed to a Jeep and pickups, I would classify Beemer as a pavement princess. Now, if the comparison is a rear-wheel drive sedan...I am sure you get the idea. Beemer's twins are a great option for those looking for a fun and luxurious driving experience while accomplishing life's mundane tasks, provided that they are also willing to turn some wrenches or write some checks. 😀

@@FunacresFilms thank you for the thorough reply! I have had 2 older BMWs so I can understand that working on them yourself usually becomes the make or break for a lengthy ownership. I also get my parts off FCP Euro and the cost of ownership becomes manageable with them because of the lifetime replacement promised on oil and everything else. My main concern was the DEF/DPF system, and as this is my first diesel car, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I’m looking for one in the 80k mile range, so there is an expectation for things to be replaced at that mileage. Again thank you for your reply!

Acetone would remove the polish. Not sure what acetone would do to the plastic though.

Unfortunately, we do not know. 😞

Yes, Beemer is a diesel. 🙂

Thank you for watching our video. We had the same thermostat stuck open issue on our Beemer a couple of years ago. Just FYI, the original metal gasket between the water pump and engine block was held in place with some small metal tabs. Dad didn't realize this and ended up slicing his finger on the gasket when he grabbed it to pull it off. We hope your repair goes well.

Thank you for watching our video. We are glad you enjoyed it!

That is a clickable link to our related video "Unloading Excavator Buckets."

@@FunacresFilms Oops, didn't think of that. My Bad.

@@GKar464 Thanks for watching our video! 😀

CAT does not rent plows like this one. It would be something you would need to purchase or find an owner that would rent one to you. BTW, this is a utility plow used for plowing in pipe and cable lines.

@@FunacresFilms Neat! Thank you for answering my question ^-^

The genuine BMW water pump failed, causing the pulley to come off. The plastic pulley has several hairline cracks and metal shards on the inside. The serpentine belt is noticeably off of the alternator in the video. We are hopeful that the water pump is the extent of Beemer's issues, but we will know more once we start the repair. I am planning on filming the repair, and we hope to have it repaired and be able to publish that video in about three weeks.

Oh dear not great what miles do you have on it this is a diesel intake it

Diesel with 254,000 miles. Water pump had 77,000 miles on it.

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed our video.

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed our video. 🙂

Bosch F01C600251 Ordered from FCP Euro.

@@FunacresFilms Thanks. Just ordered.
