Fix Brake Booster Issues on BMW E53 X5 | Complete DIY Repair Tutorial for Better Braking Performance
In this video, I share my experience tackling a frustrating brake issue on my 2005 BMW E53 X5. After noticing that the brakes felt hard and unresponsive, I decided to dig into it and try to fix it myself. It wasn’t easy-lots of trial and error, a few unexpected setbacks, and plenty of learning along the way. I’m not a professional mechanic, but I hope sharing my process, including the mistakes and lessons learned, helps other BMW owners who might be dealing with similar issues. Thanks for joining me on this journey, and feel free to share your own experiences or advice in the comments!

More basic maintenance on the 2005 BMW E53 X5 (4.8L). Changing your Transfer Case fluid is a service you should be doing on your car about every 30,000 miles.

Another coolant leak! TRANSFER PIPE REPLACEMENT or BIMMERFIX? Changing the transfer pipe this time!

Thank you for not editing out all the struggles - so we can see what it’s REALLY like!
Great video. I am trying to do the same fix on my 2005 Bmw 745Li. My question is did you put any type os sealant on your intake manifold gasket? And did the collapseable water pipe wored with no leaks?
No on the use of any additional sealant. Just used the gasket. So far no issues with the pipe! Good luck on your project!
Hey! Good jorb. :) Don’t forget to take the crank off to get the door panel off! :D PS - like ur hair cut.
Hello. Ive wanted to ask how is the repair with the colapsable pipe holding out? How many miles did you guys do since the repair?
We have about 20k miles on it since we replaced the pipe and it is still holding up well! Hope that helps.
@@nickycarz1663 Yes. Thanks for the response.
Would just do the tranfer pipe. The Bimmer fix only addresses one end, and I feel it narrows the passage out of the pump.
nice job
What year is your jeep? I got same problem with my 2009 Jeep Wrangler jk
2016. What your windows manual or automatic?
I wondered what happened to you :), I learned a lot from you when I first got an E53!
Yes, sorry. Lots of distractions! 😏
Thank you, Beautiful Lady. good to see a Girl doing a job guys do as well. love your dog too.
Great to see this as I was about to do the Bimmerfix but will now do the full job. Thank you
Good Luck! It was a tough project, but worth it!
Bimmerfix should fix this issues right ? Mine just failed about to do the bimmerfix
Nice rims 👊🏻
Where videos?
after seeing this, can anyone tell me how am I supposed to not support a such channel? you go gurl!
Thank you. My door lock broke and I found your feed and I got my door lock fixed. 🥳👍
I've got to do this on my 2013 E71 M sport X6 and I trying to see what transfer case I have if I have both a drain and fill plug or just one and have to suction out the old fluid. So glad to see more of us women sharing our car love on here!
Good luck!
Hi from the UK! I've got to do this job on my X5 and have been told to use DTF not ATF. Bet its just the same stuff!
Can you share link to what kit you used for this fix?
I got mine on Amazon. Here you go. Good luck! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FEKY86/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
back seal doesn't leak , it can not leak its just stop metal to metal then rear panel gasket takes over between engine and gearbox, love the 7 series but they always spring leaks lol
I love amsoil and was wanting to know if I could use it you answered that thank you so much. Your awesome!
Suggestion - loosen the water pump pulley bolts before you remove the belt. The belt holds the pulley in place so you can easily loosen the pulley bolts.
Nice work.
Nicky, I decided to replace the knock sensors since the intake was removed to replace the pipe.
Did you get the transfer case adaptation rest set ?
Yes, I had to reset it in order to get the suspension working again. A little known fact is if you have a service code on your transfer case, your suspension code won't clear.
You are really wonderful and you deserve respect and support, madam. Continue and you have all the appreciation and thanks for the information and effort 🙂
What headers?
Hope you dont blowout your back coolant pan between engine/trans! That always happens after this job.....then you have to remove the transmission for that one! Gotta love N62!
I would like comment , I just completed 1 of these, bought on amazon(the exact kit used in video), recommend to clean the coating off the end that has the 3 O rings(this side only) as when using something to press the shaft into the timing cover end the coating kinda seized the pieces together, had to remove it and wire wheel(lightly) the end and apply a little grease-tried grease first and did not work. this was a great help ! as well was you video!
Hi Nicky I was reading one of the comments and they say you need a calibration after oil change. Just wandering if you did one?
Yes we did! Actually it was required when I did the air suspension, because the air suspension code will not clear unless you recalibrate the maintenance code for the transfer case. Note: if you have any pending maintenance code in the system for the transfer case, your suspension will not clear.
It's a transfer case adaptation reset.
@@nickycarz1663 I have the ride height inactive and would like to know how to reset all that stuff since I’m planning to do a transfer case fluid replacement
@@freddieruger1 The suspension code will not reset if you have a pending code on the transfer case or the transmission. To clear any pending codes on the transfer case, or the transmission, you will need a scanner that does BMW specific functions. Either ISTA or INPA should be able to clear the codes for you. If you can’t access a scanner, you either have to go to an Independent shop that has one or BMW themselves. There is no easy answer.
Hi Nicky Carz Really loved this video on the detailed instructions on how you guys did the process of changing the coolant pipe. Although it is a big job I don't think I ever seen a engine valley so clean (albeit the result of leaking coolant) I have a N73 V12 which I believe is near identical process to change as the V8 models and will be heeding to your videos for guidance. Thank you!!!
I just bought myself one.. 2005 x5 v8 4.8 120k miles . learning so much from you. Thank you very much. I am excited about tackling this projects!
Suckered into the fiberglass work. Stay itchy girl. Hose clamps work the best.
Hopefully you aren't using Harbor Freight car stands. There was a recall on them... collapsing without warning! Be careful!
Yes, I heard about those car jacks. But, no, we aren't using those. Appreciate the tip though! It's one of the things I always worry about!
Sadly BMW isn't liable for their crappy designs...especially their water pipe design lol smdh
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you remember the torque for the pan and for the intake by any chance? Great Vid!
There is a pipe between the banks of cylinders and the seals can go, if it's the front there's a fix but it's a bit of a bodge in my opinion, if it's the rear end there's a bit of stripping down to do but nothing too difficult really 👍👍👍
Great video perhaps eye wear I have had oil splatter into my face.. awesome scissor jack and video...2014 x3 hope it's similar
Oops never mind I found your answer
Glad you found it! It's a great Jack!
What kind of jack is that your using?
I think that all BMW owners would be lucky to have you for a wife ;) Excellent job done!
When you change the oil in transfer case on BMW you should do the recalibration. I did it with ISTA+ (Rheingold software). I am not sure if any other software can do it. If you dont have it just go to a BMW dealer and tel them to do that. If you just keep on doing oil changes without reset, eventually you will get an error stored in the car which will not be removed after clearing all errors. You have to do the recalibration. Process is about 10-20 seconds.
Clean 💯💯💯💯
Great video... thanks a lot Jesus bless your life .. you gave me lots of confidence to work on my X5 also!!! Congrats
If I can do it so can you! :) Good luck!
This was so calming, thank you
Hello, how did you know that the coolant leak was because that tube? I have some white fog from exhaust, could this be the reason? Thanks and regards.
I knew it was the tube because of it leaking through the weep hole. If you have fog from the exhaust I would say that is the valve stem seals (that is a big job).
👍
What Torque Specs are you using for the manifold
Gosh! I don't recall. I would just google N62 torque specs for the intake manifold.
It varies depending on the size of your bolt. I think mine was M8 (16 ft lbs).
@@nickycarz1663 oh ok Thank You 😊
Only if the seal is bad in the front for the Bimmerfix. The seal in the back wears out too🤔 so I'll change the coolant transfer pipe 😊 kill 2 birds with one stone😉
So if coolant is inside the valley pan does that mean you have to get all of it out and install a new coolant transfer pipe?
If you have any excess amount coming out of your weep hole (small hole by water pump) then you might as well get the coolant out while you are in there replacing the pipe. Change the valley pan too. Use OEM.
coolant is supposed to be in the valley pan or no?
There is not supposed to be any in there, but it is inevitable that some will form there.
Hi, i have to do the pipe repair bimmerfix dont work still leaking, but im living in iceland and my car is outside so i am wathing for summer to do the same jobe you dit, thanks for the wery good video info
