U left out a very important part. How do you hook the cable into the new handle AND get the cable in the new guide. Not easy.

Fan broke and water pump

Thanks for the help 10 years in the future!😂

I have so much problems with the hook.... I can't hang it in the new one

I just did this job at my E39 528i 12/97. Remove the 2 screws, leave al the wires/switches connected. Pull the top part of the panel lose, tip it over the black knob on the left, then towards you and you have plenty of space to install the new doorhandle. Took me 15 minutes. I did not want to take the risk removing connectors from switches because also that plastic is 25 years old and could brake just like that. When pulling the top part of the door cover lose, sit on yr feet, place yr knees to the lower door cover part, then everything stays allined and no plastic clips will brake off.

Great video how to on how to do it and he says you guys should know how to do it Lmao dumbass fosho

Thank you for video.Tomorow I buy, and I try single. I ask in one service and îs 90 euro 😅😅😅

Last fryday,i brocke seame,and i open the door seame 😅😅😅😅

Pruts monteurs en zogenaamde bmw specialisten ze hebben zero verstand van bmw en rommelen alte graag er aan hebben me al veel problemen opgewekt wees aub eerlijk de fan hoort gewoon soepeltjes zonder de motor te belasten te draaien als je start en pas als doe warm is stefig en o ja amateurs die beweren dat deze koppelin goed is zo test je niks auto zal meer verbruiken en zal minder elasties optrekkek op de snelweg zie je de verbruik meter zul je al gou zien het lijkt alsof je auto zwaar belast is dan normaal dit normaal is waarom trekt men auto niet meer

thanks . short and sweet

Didn't show shit waste of time should be banned

A car this old, there are a lot of parts cars out there. Just get one from a part out. Forget paying new prices

Amazing video..thanks

My cable looks different n my handle ..damn

Bullshit information. When the engine i cold, at the morning for example, if you cant stop fan, it means that it stucked. And it have to be spined by hand freely. What you said its all false :) Fan never works all the time, it only kicks in when its needed of high tempeture, other time it just spins mechanically by the intertia. So, when engine is cold - you have to stop ir by paper or hand, when the engine is warm - you shouldnt, thats how it should work correctlly. In your case, when you put brand new one, sometimes this happens, that means that you got bad one, or, it shoul stand on the car for a while. REMINDER - fan clush cant be layed down horizontaly, it always shoul stand vertically.

Now my fan is running always when I put more gas. It won't get silenced when I go faster. What is wrong? Fan is running even when the engine is cold. Temperatures are normal always, so the engine has not been over heated

Appreciate this video, thanks brother! I needed this so bad haha. Forget all the hater comments, they must be uneducated enough to listen. Thanks again :)

WTH...gossed over the most critical part?

It is normally said that the door card must be removed, the dangers of damaging stuff is high. Ignore the haters here, if they can’t work out how to do it through the hole, they should give their money to a stealer.

Thanks for filming a shit video

Aaaaaand the cable just snapped after I replace it...

So how did u do it

What kind of instruction video is this?? You just showed the finished product! Thanks for nada!Q@

Hey man I don't care what these other people say, Because of your video, I was able to fix both the drivers and passenger side doors on my car!!! It took less than 10 minutes from start to finish!!! Thanks again!

I’ve had a few of these and the worst offender is my 98’ 528i.. the thing sounds like a diesel bus. I can tell you this ISN’T how it should be, I’ve got a 523i 2.5 and it sounds absolutely stunning, no noticeable fan noise just that incredible straight 6 engine note. The same with my 540i before the vanos died,no big fan just pure V8 rumble. I really thought the 528 would be one of the purest sounding but I am yet to hear the engine note over the fan, it also stops when a bit of paper is put in there so I will swap them over and see what’s what. She has done 180K though..

No action talk only

11 min for 10 seconds of useful instructions. Get your shit together

At 522 I really can't show you exactly how ha ha funnieee

New Sub!! Great Info. Thx.

Skipped the most important part. dumbass.

I just bought one and when I accelerate it’s really loud. I took to my trusty mechanic and he said it’s the fan clutch. Hopefully once replaced it won’t sound so damn loud

My sons 2000 528i fan exploded. Major dents and paint chips on hood. Busted radiator hose. Destroyed fan shroud. I believe it was unbalanced for a while affecting the smoothness of the engine, but he got bad advice from an import “repair” shop and boom💥$$

You gave viewers wrong information. The fan clutch should engage completely as the engine getting hot. Cold engine fan clutch should supposed to stop when paper cardboard sticked in. And your fan itself should be rigid with slightly flexible. Otherwise it will break easily with slight impact.

ruclips.net/video/MN4f3BJCOGA/видео.html hi this is mine fan clutch problem or no?

Useless

As per other comments, get the hook in first, (Swiss Army knife with so-called 'multi-purpose hook' is very helpful ) then twist upside-down so the sticky-out part goes inside the door first. Then you need to pull quite hard, while reaching round the back of the handle, to get the cable sheath into the groove. I thought this would be a bugger to do, but in fact it popped in quite readily.

Thanks was so much easier than removing whole door panel. Took 10min while watching video. Give the Handel a 90deg twist as going on and off.

How dose this help anyone by watching u fold ur mirror in and out?

Do you remember what seats you were in?

I'd like to point out one more symptom which is engine vibration. E.g. my fan clutch works just fĩne, doesn't spin freely or anything but the bearing is crooked/not in the center of the fan, so it sets the engine off-balance.

great informative video thank you very much for posting .

l dont understand you

my fan snapped on me for some reason, when i had my 2003 325i E46

good advice on buying original replacement parts, i had to do further research on how to find the trick on how to remove the hook, a good start and ending on this video, thanks. BMW E 39's are one of the best cars made by the BMW company, I two of newer models in the driveway, but still really like my E 39.

you changed the fan clutch for a OEM, ? because the other way, you are wrong. because the OEM BMW Fan clutch work very different, of a generic Fan Clutch. very silence you will hear you BMW engine, and it is a very cool sound, but if you used a generic fan the only thing that you can hear is the noise of the fan, that is too much noiser.

The fan should NOT be turned on all the time! A correct fan clutch will engage the fan for a minute at startup, and then the fan will just spin lightly, without making noise! If the air from the cooler reaches about 92C the fan clutch will engage and drive the fan at engine rpm up untill 2400rpm, at which point the clutch should slip to limit the max fan rpm. If your clutch is always engaged (making noise at reving) it is faulty!

where did you get your fan clutch from and are you sure it is new? I'm pretty sure there is not supposed to be that much resistance in between the fan and fan clutch. It looks to me like yours is almost seized beyond its grab point. when I got my first 540i It had a broken fan so instead of buying the fan and clutch I just thought it would be cheaper to get the fan and put it on the clutch that was already on the car, besides I could not find a 32mm wrench to take the old fan clutch off. so when the new fan came I bolted it onto the old clutch and thought I was set. It spun just like the one in your video with that kind of resistance, maybe a little more. I took the car out the next day to show my girlfriend how fast my 540 was and sure enough not only did it sound like a school bus but when I took it up to the rev limit the new fan shattered from centrefulal force, destroying the fan shroud and denting the radiator and I was lucky that I didn't have the under panel on. After being embarrassed I researched the problem and it turned out to be a bad fan clutch. I believe the problem you had was that the fan clutch was bad in the way that it wasn't catching enough. I know this because the experience you had while driving in traffic with the water temperature spiking was the same as the one I had when I was driving around with no fan at all. I did this for 1000 miles until I could afford another fan and a clutch. I did notice that the car was a tiny bit faster without the fan and clutch due to less drag on the belt and with that being said I want an electric fan that can draw the same or more air from the radiator. While researching the issue I found that the procedure to tell if your fan cutch is bad is to first stick your finger into the fan blades while the car is running at idle. if you still have a finger your fan clutch is good, if not replace your fan clutch. But that is only to tell if it is seized and would not apply to a situation like the one you had where it is too unseized if you will. And obviously do not stick your fingers in the fan.

My temperature went up while I was in the Wendy's drive thru .maybe it's time to change my fan clutch

Thank you. Very helpful!

Cheers man
