Another great one, keep them coming! Just ordered replacement of mine. Fault appeared as "DSC failure" on the display-screen inside the car, and diagnosis showed fault codes related to EVAP-valves AND Idle Actuators. Understand, from your answer, that the idle control valve may be trying to over compensate for the issue and it's not able to, so also throwing a code? Meaning that there actually may not be something wrong with the (very expensive) Idle Actuators. Will follow your advice and just change the EVAP-valves for now, clear the codes and hope for the best!. (Screen showing "DSC failure" is pretty "far off"!).
I love your content and videos. I used to be a mechanic in the 80s and 90s, I fell in love with the E24 M6. Of course I couldn’t afford to buy one at that time and still can’t. I was afraid of the new M cars because of the technology has changed since I used to work on them. I have always loved the e60 M5 but was afraid of it. I can safely say you gave me the confidence to buy one.. I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I’ve M5 about three years . I love the engineering that goes into BMWs especially the M Cars. They are a few things I don’t understand how to work in the car. For one. How to program the steering wheel buttons specifically. Programmable button. If you can give me some information on that I would appreciate it.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! Yeah the E24 M6 is a real nice car with an awesome engine. When you put a regular BMW engine next to an M engine there are a lot of differences you can see, even the materials used. Check this video out on the steering wheel M button ruclips.net/video/NUqkZjn-FyQ/видео.html in the same prior menu you’ll also see the “steering wheel button” option
Thanks for the sub, I’m glad you’re here. True, I only have a small window of time to get the job done though, vs leaving the engine in bits in my driveway
@@MTechGuy Yeah, I know how it is... I've been out all night attempting to remove the rusty camber bolts on my old 316. Wife getting grumpy... I'd love to get an M5, but they're 40-50.000 quid (UK money) here in Norway.
Great vid, did mine last time I was in the V as preventative maint ! Have you seen M539 Restorations latest video on replacing the starter motor the easy way ? I might plan to do mine
Cheers Duncs, good to get done as a PM item. Yeah I’m familiar with the starter cheat from a while back. I plan to do a video on it in the future, but my starter has a few Km’s left in it yet
I cannot for the life of me remove the back hose connection on these .. its been like 24 hours and almost to point of damaging the connectors ... im left with leave them be or keep going full steam ahead , WHERE do these hoses run to ? thanks encase i need to replace, thnx
Bro I deleted maf adaptions , but the idle is still bad when I rev the car at idle , I changed the evao valves today but still not perfect, do ibjabe to drive the car after deleting adaptions , and it might het better after few miles of driving
Great video , bro low idle (500rpm) is also symptom for these evap valve ? If I rev my car on idle ,and when I stop revving the rpm go down to 500 and then back to 700, will this part fix this problem
Hey Brother. Thank you so much for another great video. Another item which is on my list. Perfect. While I’m here I got another questions. Hope that’s fine and I would appreciate your thoughts or experience on this. Is there anyway to check if the injectors are leaking? Did mine last year as part of preventive maintenance. But im actually not sure if all of them are fine. Had some petrol smell from the oil. And now my mind is still asking itself if everything is fine. I have to mention that I changed the oil two month ago and still have quite a petrol scent from the oil. I also have to me mention that I only drove it like 5 times about half an hour since then. And as usual one can’t resist give it a bit of beans when the oil temperature is above 90C. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hooning it. Maybe it needs just longer rides, which will come soon. But considering the horror stories you hear about injectors leaking, I’d rather be overly cautious than left with an nice v10 coffee table. Thank you so much brother. Greetings from the other side.
I’ve not experienced a petrol smell in the oil TBH. Might be worth pulling the injectors to test them- just incase one may have been bad out of the box?
And those two brackets are positioned side specific left to right. Another great video!!!
Cheers mate. Yes they are L & R handed 👍
Hi Guy again a fantastic video straight to the point and easy to follow instructions 👍you keep well pal👍💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Did you disconnect the battery before working on the engine? Thank for the great and informative videos. 🙏
Nah, just make sure the ignition is off
