BMW E70 X5 4.8 Alternator Replacement Voltage Regulator Bad. Demons Vanquished
Просмотров 6784 месяца назад
This 2008 X5 has been possessed for years. It finally revealed that the voltage regulator was malfunctioning by suddenly charging at a voltage over 15. In this video, I replace the alternator that has a built in voltage regulator and it seems to have solved the issue once and for all..I hope!

    Just a note for anyone doing this. You absolutely do NOT need to remove the crank pulley/balancer. Remove the tensioner and rotate the pulley to where the c shaped cut out is lined up with the lower pump bolt. Break that bolt loose and they will almost always spin out easily by hand. in addition. ALL the other water pump bolts are easily accessible with extensions... Not sure why you couldn't access your last bolt ... Thanks for making this video

    I know this post is a little older, but I was stranded a week ago with the idiot light scenario, a dead dash, air turning off while driving then engine dying on the freeway while doing 70. It started in limp mode without computer controlled transmission, made it to an off ramp and locked it up. Came back with a truck and trailer to find the window rolled down and the car unlocked (in was 115°). Battery was now dead and transmission couldn’t be shifted to neutral. Dragged it on the trailer. Charged it with an AGM charger which showed the battery was fine and healthy. However, the charging voltage is now 17.3 vdc! Assuming the voltage regulator was shot, so replacing the alternator. Hopefully I’m on the right path, but my scanner says nothing is testable, like it cannot access the ecu…

    • @OGGarrettsGarage
      @OGGarrettsGarage 2 месяца назад

      @nvboatguy it took me 3 years of screwing around with my x5 before I finally replaced the alternator / voltage regulator even though there was never any scanner or dashboard warning indicating charging problems. It fixed the problem. There is a way to put it into neutral with everything dead. On mine it's under the driver side cup holder. Pop out a cover and you can reach in using a plastic tool that's with the jack stuff, then turn it to get neutral (be sure you're ready because she's gonna roll away). Good luck!

      @@OGGarrettsGarage Thanks! I fired up the car after the battery tested ‘normal and fully charged’, thinking that maybe a computer which controlled alternator output might adjust the regulator to charge at a normal voltage. Nope! I guess that’s not how it’s supposed to work, and that maybe the alternator/with built-in regulator is a stand-alone unit that self adjusts- but with BMW, you never know what they come up with to control this stuff. Going to verify this is a Bosch alternator, and get one coming. This whole episode was out of the blue, with no previous issues…!!

    Mine gave codes for high pressure fuel pump, low pressure fuel pump, 4x4 malfunction, ABS malfunctioning, light bulbs, fuel injectors. I lost my mind changing parts, until I just happened to look at the alternator and noticed that one of the wires was completely corroded off because of the stupid coolant hoses hanging over the top of the alternator and dripping hot coolant on the connector. I changed the hoses and clamps, and got a new connector. Problem solved and the car ran like a beast, my idle also became smooth as butter.

    I think the smoke outlet should br only at the back. The logic is: your inteke air is in the front, it will tend to rise up and acape to the chamney. If you force the smoke to scape through the rear you make the unburt wood gas enter in contact with your secundairy air that is coming from roles all the way to the back. This modification should be easy just needing to close the front gap btween your metal sheet and the barrel. With over a year of experience you shoud be able to tell if what i say makes sense.
