Yet another BMW where I experience A/C issues... this time, the A/C condenser has failed and developed a leak. For my surprise, I had to remove the main radiator and then bleed the cooling system as well to be able to replace the condenser. Music by StockTune - stocktune.com/
I don't know if this was a good idea... / BMW F10 Alcantara trim cover from Aliexpress
Просмотров 3314 месяца назад
I was searching for a bit different look for the trim covers in my BMW F10 M5. I found these Alcantara trim covers/stickers on Aliexpress that are precision cut and are supposed to simply stick on the original trim. I had a carbon vinyl on the trim but it looked too fake, so I switched to piano black trim. Let me know what you think about this Alcantara option :)

I had a "no LIN component" fault code related to Garage door opener in my BMW F10 M5. The Garage door opener is part of the interior rear view mirror and I believe it is the same as in other BMW's (E60, F11, F12, F01, F30, etc) In this video I disassemble the interior mirror and fix the fault.

In this video I'm changing the DCT (DKG) transmission oil in my BMW F10 M5. Same gearbox is used in M2/M3/M4 so the process should be similar.

Best Car Scissor lift for home garage? unboxing and installation, modification and tweaks
Просмотров 380 тыс.Год назад
I just recently bought a mid-rise scissor lift, which is supposedly made in China as many of the similar lifts that can be purchased on internet. I want to talk to you about options that I was considering and why I chose this specific lift. Hope this will help me with my DIY projects on my cars :)
Well done mate
@@30EvroInDaNos Thanks for watching! :)
2:26 Oh man... I feel your pain. The same with my M5.
Hi
Watching you unbox that thing makes me wonder if you should even be working on cars.
@@jayroc1502 you’re right, I probably shouldn’t because I’m not a mechanic… but because many mechanics shoudn’t work on cars either, so I have to myself….
cool working shoes 🖕
I like you unpacking method is awesome
It goes wrong when u change oil each 30k its not a Renault
Agree, but M5 oil replacement interval is 10k km's... even that is a bit long... Thankfully, nothing wrong with the engine! :)
Can you take it apart to put it in the back of a minivan for transport?
No, that's unfortunately not possible.
I might sound daft..but im a home diy car mecanic myself and wouldnt you just hook up a smoke machine and see where its pissing out from and replace and recharge aircon ?
@@realmusicreallife yeah I guess that could work - i don’t know however if smoke could potentially affect any components. Usually AC mechanics use the UV dye oil to search for leaks - and that was the case here too.
@@AlfisGarage ah I see. Thankyou
@@realmusicreallife I’ve seen some videos where techs used nitrogen gas to pressurize the system and then search for leaks with soapy water. Some also used regular compressed air, but that contains moisture so not the best option.
Many possibilities Could be no oil on cylinder walls due to extensive setting. Have someone fully depress the accelerator pedal while testing. Also could be the valvetronic in closed position if u can have it checked.
@@W.Khairi thanks for the tip. I think Valvetronic should not affect it regardless in what position it is - it just adjust how much the intake valves can open, but once the piston goes to compression stage, the valves must be fully closed. I’m waiting now for boroscope camera and will check as much as I can 👍
Good thing is that results are consistent on each cylinder 👍🏼 Do test again with warmer engine or drop little bit of oil into cylider before testing. Nice videos! 👍🏼
@@MK-if8pp Thank you! Yeah that’s what is making me think there may be something wrong with the gauge or something - it’s not far off, but a bit on the low side. I’m trying to source a different tester and will try again. Thanks for your input!
Hope you get it figured out dude, F10 M5's are amazing cars
@@vz6235 Thanks mate!
This was a very informative video. Thank you! I have the autokato/katool x85 (usa model) which looks nearly identical. It doesn't have grub pins and has plastic sliders under the back bar.
@@terrencethorsen thanks for watching :)
Great video there! Exactly what I was looking for, I am on the process of getting one that I should hopefully confirm in the next few weeks. Just out of curiousity, if you don't mind, how high from level ground at the floor to the roof measured?
@@Drftn32 you mean my garage height? I think I have around 260cm. The lift goes up about 100cm. When I fully raise the M5, there’s not much space left, because I have the garage door rail in the way as well. So basically, any higher would not be possible for me anyway
@@AlfisGarage Yes garage height, sorry for the confusion. Thats awesome! Least i feel a bit better as the height in my garage is about the same. Now its just a mission to find one here, its like triple the price here in NZ
@@Drftn32 good luck mate!
Fantastic video! You are quite inventive.
@@marktbeauchamp thanks for watching! :)
What brand and where u buy in USA ? Looks good !
This one is a Polish brand - Kupczyk, I don't think they have US shop, but I'm sure there are very similar lifts in US for similar price
Great video! Question- how come you didn’t just turn the lift 180 degrees? It would have moved the cables to the other side? 🤔
@@AviatorsGarage Thanks for watching! All scissor lifts have front and rear side and the front can bear more weight, where the engine usually is. I have a follow up video, as many people asked the same question :) ruclips.net/video/XTJm9Wge5FI/видео.htmlsi=Dk3pmysWFjCjGldw
The pinch bolt is easy. Thread the bolt in from the other side and put a flat piece of metal in the gap, tighten the bolt and it spreads the knuckle, the knuckle will pretty much fall off.
Nice tip! Thanks!
Why do you say yours cost $1500, but when I check them out, they're around $2500?
I don't recall I would ever say that... I actually paid about 2500 Eur for it.... so yeah, nowhere near 1500$
Why don't you just turn it around instead of rerouting the lines?
@@tonyp9609 I did a follow up video explaining exactly that: ruclips.net/video/XTJm9Wge5FI/видео.htmlsi=2cU4QQkxAR3fKjvp
@@AlfisGarage Sorry, only watch this video, didn't know you had a second one.

Where are the oil pan parts from and what are the part numbers?
@@ammankalyan7460 I bought from local eshop. There is no specific part number for gasket as BMW doesnt sell them separately, but if you search for for the whole pan, you can find sellers who sell gasket only. The PN is 28107842385
Personally i would attempt to renovate the parts and just change the gaskets and bearings. However since the problem is fixed to your satisfaction it is all good! Also, i would attemt to prime the part with zink and paint it with a 2 component epoxy paint. Just brush on paint of course, it would help with scratches since epoxy paint is crazy resistant to physical stress. good job though, if i were to suggest a tool, getting the M12 FRAIWF12-0 from milwaukee or something similar would help you in those tight places.
@@prowled thanks for watching! The parts were actually really cheap, for all the arms and bushings I paid just about 100€, so trying to remove the bushings would be a lot more work then simply replacing :) The paint I used is some 3 in 1 which includes rust inhibitors, primer and paint. I’m sure there are better options out there, but this is what I had locally available :)
@@AlfisGarage I absolutely can relate to the time issue of renovating parts. As some people say "my time is valuable". And yeah, the best paint is the one you have in your hands. What you did was better than doing nothing, and it is by no means a bad thing since it isn't a part that heats up like the brake calipers.
Great videos, from the scissor lift and safety concerns videos to this all amazing videos I've watched, you've earned a subscriber :) I'm Also a BMW owner of a F06 BMW M6 Gran Coupe :) Lovely car and lovely garage.
@@TheRealEvo Thank you very much! :) F06 M6 is a beautiful car! I couldn’t find one over here for reasonable price when I was looking for mine, so I settled with the M5
Remove drive shaft bolt, you should of used pry bar on lower arm no need to clamp spring when strut is on car and no need to remove lower hub bolt on lower arm
@@michaelphillips5014 yeah now I know I should have just pryied it down right away:) btw, when I removed the drive shaft bolt, the shaft didn’t want to move, seem it was stuck
Tap it with a bar@@AlfisGarage
The 13mm senterbolt loose it ( can stay in loose), steering rod off , stabilisator off, then you can do it that way you did if your not taking all off. And that you stuggled with with bmw part, if i remember right that press up, so if you get it out it will still press up so its just to leave it on. Did you line up the towerbearing mark with the strut, and also had the flat part facing in?, Thats very important :) Also great to soak all bolts in wd40 or something before 😁
@@Morteexx yes, the flat part of the strut bearing is facing to the engine :) I don’t know what you mean with the bmw part - i guess you mean the joint removal tool? The issue there was that it has narrower opening for the joint, so that is why I couldn’t put it on properly. I used spray from Liqui moly for rusty bolts :)
Wouldn't it have been easier to just turn the lift around 180 degrees, so the lines were on the other side?
@@MarcoAspaas if interested, watch my follow up video, where among others I answer this question too :) ruclips.net/video/XTJm9Wge5FI/видео.htmlsi=MJ_IwS_mhkRjnRGK
Hi! Would you sell your wood trim interior?
@@bmw_5_bmw_5_44 Hi, no I can’t because that’s the one I now covered with this alcantara :) I have spare piano black, but want to keep that too in case I decide to go back to that.
@@AlfisGarage Alright, if you decide to take off the alcantara and sell please reach out to me. I am looking for that kinde of interior trim. Thanks
youtube recommended me this video and I'm lovin it.. although I dont have an m5 though, but this is still informative !
@@RAINEN Thank you for watching! :)
Do not tighten the grub screws fully. These are designed to be tightened and the backed off to act as guide in slot on the rod. This allows rod to have some free play and allows the jack to operate faster.
That is interesting - i understand what you mean and you could be right, but then I think the grub screw should have a flat bottom and also there should be some loctite, so that grub screw doesn’t back out
If the grub screw isn't tight it will probably fall out unless you loctitie it in. It doesn't really matter either way. It is a cheap Chinese design with no inner bearing bushes. If the grub screw is tight, it just means the pin is stationary in relation to the two outer holes and rotates in the centre hole. All the wear will be in the centre of the pin or the centre hole. If it is loose, the pin will be allowed to rotate in all three holes, sharing the wear. These are really only designed for domestic use with low cycles compared to a shop lift. You will wear out before the pins or holes will, which is why they don't bother to install grease fittings. As the pins are a sliding fit to the holes, most of the grease was pushed out when you refitted the pins.
@@ricbarker4829 yeah, you’re probably right
Excellent tutorial, thank you for this realistic video
@@frederic4162 Thanks for watching!
Great review, excellent tips. That lifting fitting is perfect, why couldn't they do that?? 🙂
@@KJs581 exactly! It should have come like this :)
Pleased to see the return of the safety sandals 😂 Useful video, thanks.
@@diyhell8712 🤣
I want subscribe but music in background when you talking to us is a JOKE. I saw other People point you this, already months ago but You don't really care. Imagine teacher put music in background in class when trying to explain something to his students. Who those that? Fine when you not talking, but once you start to speak should be no music.
Fair enough - I’m lowering the music volume - it sounds OK on my studio speakers, but I guess it may be still loud on other systems. I don’t want to cut the music fully, but will lower the volume even more 👍
Why music in background when you talking?
I’m usually lowering the music volume when talking - sorry if you can’t understand. I suppose it may be still loud on some speakers 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing your video. I appreciate your attention to details. For the inside of your rims (the next time you decide to take them off to clean) you could try a clay bar and lube to help remove those stubborn bits of dirt/grime. Cheers!
Thanks! I bought some iron remover so I’ll try with that next time. Never used clay before, but I’ll order some and try with that too! 🙂
@@AlfisGarage I was going to say an iron remover may be your best bet as alot of that is probably brake dust particles imbedded into the wheels themselves
@@burnette214 Thanks, that was my thinking too. I didn’t get to remove the wheels since then, but I’ll surely try it once I’ll do :)
did my volvo v70 yesterday, took me at least 5 hours. I feel for you.
Do you have the 3d printed files you can share by any chance for the side to side wheels?
Sure! I just uploaded it to Thingiverse and added the link to the description. Good luck building!
@@AlfisGarage thanks I really appreciate it.
doing a great work keep It up. also when you're uploading Differential seal replacement ?
Thanks man! I didn’t get to do that one yet 😵💫
This lift is sold under many brands. It’s awesome. Got rid of my quick jack for this.
This is the best mid rise lift. This lift is sold under many names but it’s awesome. I got rid of the Quickjack and bought this style of lift. And most importantly, it makes you feel safe.
Thanks for watching. I never had the Quickjack and I think it is practical how portable it is, but this seems definitely stronger. 👍
The 2nd car was well in the garage already.... I don't get the issue in the first place 😆
The issue was that the hydraulics and cables were coming out between the two parking spots in the garage. I wanted them to come out at the wall side of the lift :)
loud musig: I adjust the volume, than I can't hear you. I am not interested on the music at all!
Thanks for feedback!
I have been looking for a budget lift for my garage here in the US. I really don’t care if it’s made in China as long as it’s solidly built and it’s within my budget. I like the design of this one and it seems pretty well made to me. Plus it has that open middle area which I want. And I have to say you did a good job rerouting all those lines. The electrical work was done very well…..kudos my friend.
Thanks for watching! :)
