BMW E46 Coolant expansion tank amzn.to/3jKb9or
Replacing the coolant tank is pretty important because as the car ages the plastic becomes brittle and weak and it more likely to burst at the most inconvenient moment. there was also one hose I replaced while I had the tank off just because it would be a beyotich to change afterwards without repeating the whole process.
the steps are remove the upper hose, there is a lower hose, drain radiator, there is a clip on the bottom you need to push down and slide out. once that is all done you need to pull the tank straight up and out. and that's pretty much it

This has got to be the best DIY. No fucking around. Straight to the point. And the only video that in detail covers the ATF sensor remove/ install. Gald i came accross this Vid. You rock dude !
Yo mama needs to wash your mouth out with soap!!!
Dude, Im in the hospital.. I'm battling Leukemia. I'm in a battle for my life and you tell me I can't see one of my favorite dudes on here.. I've learned more from you then any other so-called "mechanic" and because you can't watch your mouth, I have to "go watch another then". Ok man.. thank you, and God bless..
If you've been a fan of my videos then you'd know what to expect. Good luck in your battle against cancer, I wish you well.
Hello! Thanks for the video! I had to go miles out to find a certified BMW brand tank that actually fit. I bought Behr brand. I did crack the thermostat. I bought a new one. No brand pref necessary on that. I definitely cursed it! lol I'm short so I had to stand on a block to get more leverage. Your right about spending the money on the best parts and you save yourself a ton of cash by doing it yourself. Other than that it was easy-but I can probably do more than an average female or most dudes for that matter. Take care and thanks again!
good job on getting the repair done and saving some money
Wow a women who gets shit done ! No need for no man stay strong sister !
This is 100% what its like doing this in your garage. Language included!! Haha He was spot on, actually helped too even though it wasnt exactly my model BMW. I was having major issues with the AT cooler sensor.
Yo mama needs to wash your mouth out with soap!!!
Lol, love this video! I use the exact same curse words when I'm working on my beamer!
Since buying my wife a 2003 325 xi, I’ve become a master in the art of swearing 🙂
Yo mama needs to wash your mouth out with soap!!!
I found it funny when the retaining clamp when flying I said oopps and then heard you say it. Nice timing to this video too, my friend has this same model and has asked me to do this same job for him, huge thanks man.
make sure you have the thermostat too if your friends car has one, even though I pulled my straight up and out it still managed to break.
thanks for the video. Can't get anyone here to help me. Got it out just fine. I did not know how to get the new thermostat in so the video was a big help. Mine fell apart when I remove the expansion tank. I also broke the tiny bleed screw for the antifreeze. Got to go to BMW . I have to replace top hose assembly and the bleed screw. Hoping to get it back together tomorrow.
Wish I would have seen this video before I took out my expansion tank. The other video's I saw didn't even mention the ATF thermostat. Took an extra three days after I had my tank out while waiting on the part.
Didn't know what the part was or that it was even busted at first.
Cheers
+Dom Bee 99 percent chance that it breaks when you take it out
Fuck sakes I literally just broke mine while pulling the tank out. I’m from New Zealand so who knows how long till I get a new piece
Thank God. I thought I was gonna have to take off my rad to replace that. You sir are a saint
You R A FReakin Riot !! Just finished cursing up a storm on my 330i! Real Deal...
Buddy you nailed it. I love the swearing.. its so comical,,, because i am just doing mine and everything is dead on. Huge thanks for the video.. i wouldnt have the patience...
man im cracking up watching this video i love it sounds just like work ( im a diesel mechanic) hahaha. but my 2006 X3 manual transmission expansion tank shit the bed yesterday and cracked open. ordered a new one on amazon. hope to swap it in tomorrow
Omg this video made me laugh so hard I couldn't focus on what to do😂😂😂😂😂
You are the funniest man in Canada.
Damn lol watching your video had me laughing my ass off. I just had to perform this very task but i let repair shop do it..i had to rewind your video at beginning to make sure I heard you right when i thought did he just swear on video here of the job for us do it yourselfers 😂😂😂😂😂 a riot of laughter brother keep up the vids
Buahahahhaaa...we sound very much alike when changing a part. Thanks for the video, very helpful.
Great Video. Yea my expansion tank busted on me. I replaced one 2 years ago in Florida. Round 2. Question. Do I really need the oil cooler thermostat. I replaced my oil cooler thermostat 1 year ago for something else. Its probably still new. Do they always break when removing the expansion tank? Thanks alot big guy.
My man your hilarious. Great video.
You are the best. I have a 07 x3 so anything you post I will watch. Awesome awesome
Hey man every time i watched your DIY video you are crank-up on me hahahahahaaaaaa and i like whatever you said with a piece of metal i personally said that keep it on man
love the swearing, got a 328i (E36) and 2 X3"s (E83) and I swear like a sailor, hilarious. great vid
Great job , but where is your fan and the fan shroud ?
The thermostat problem wss a nice surprise this evening. God damn Germans cars.
Good vid , You remind me of myself swearing up a storm
What will be the main problem if you find transmission oil in the expansion tank
I love your exquisite taste in lanquage!! Sounds like me!! Lol
where does that cooler clamp goes? and which position do you place it? upward, middle, or downward?
Wish he was one my teachers in high school ... lol..
Is there an O ring on the bottom of the tank on the connection that doesn't have the thermostat?
Hey man, thanks for the great video. I learned more from this than any other of the 15 or so I just watched. And it was pretty entertaining too. I'm about to attempt this on my e36 325. Is it pretty similar? Do I have to remove anything specific to get to the expansion tank? And did you just pour straight coolant or did you dilute it? Thanks again man and great video
i had the fan and shroud remove for this video and that will depend if you have a automatic or std transmission. the auto is a bit harder to remove than the std. If you have the auto trans you'll have the thermostat which will need changing as well.
Hi, thanks for the video. Will the same process work on an X3 F25 ?
I am thinking of replacing the thermostat alone and I know that I need to remove the expansion tank too. No way I am paying the dealer $1500 for that .
Why you use that coolant? BMW uses peak European blue or prestone European teal
I love this video!!!
1.5 mins in thie pipe is welded on wont wiggle off ive been at it for 2 hours and i just leave it for another day the water pump bolts both snapped i did smack it out with a Minnie slege if its an e46 e39 its going to be slow job
Okay question bro at a minute and two seconds. 1:02 when you remove that hose I broke off the metal piece because of how brittle it was because of calcium build up. Not anything on the hose but where the hose attached to the radiator. If that broke off am I fucked and have to replace the whole radiator? Or can I just replace that part of that pipe.
I feel like I'm watching Trailer Park Boys... and I'm ok with that
Hey man is there a grey circular piece below that thermostat inside the retainer or is it completely clean and clear of everything
is it possible to pull up the tank without breaking the thermostat?
Thanks Jerry, I've got 85K miles, how many on your beast? So in order to do this job the parts order is 1) tank, 2) engine thermostat, & 3) trans thermostat? What hose needs changed? You ordered them from Pelican Parts? Thanks again, Dave.
I just brought home an 83 MB 300SD w a Greasecar kit on it, ever do anything w those cars?
well since your draining the coolant yes all those are good to change, maybe even a new water pump with a impeller as well. I changed the hose that went to the engine block the one that will be kind of hard to change without taking the tank off again. and yes everything was ordered from pelican parts. i've never seen that car I don't think. make a video of it
I have a manual not sure if it was switched out from auto but I cant for the love God get the thermostat in I broke my new one getting it in. It's hard cus the tank won't go down any further
Does the expansion tank snap back in? I did this replacement but had a difficult time knowing if the ET snaps back in place or not. There was no leak once I put coolant in so I'm guessing I put it back on right. I drove to AZ from CA w/no issues also. But just wanted to ask anyways.
you can kind of feel it snap back into place, if it wasn't in place the big clip on the bottom wouldn't go in
The swearing makes it.. ha,ha,ha! To save my fucking life I couldn't get the new tank to drop in. Then I tried to get the old tank to drop in and that wouldn't work either. I have no freaking idea what I did wrong. It was all going so well. Lol. *Bought a new tank of Amazon that has all great reviews and will try that. If that doesn't work I'll order the OEM. The only reason I didn't was having to wait a week to get it. Anyway.. thanks for the video!
thought the over heating was cause a bad radiator, changed that but noticed there was a leak still where the thermostat was changed that but still has a leak. any thoughts on what it can be?
He sounds exactly like me....fuck me, my fucking girlfriend thought I made this fucking video 😂
Great video!
Thank you for the same language I just used😅😅😅
No problem 😊
Hi, can you tell me what year the car you replaced coolant reservoir on? I am about to do one on a 98740il, part is from Import Parts off amazon. Thanks for a reply, Annemarie C.
Is there a name for the tubing you replaced (~3:15)? I realized mine is very worn after removing the expansion tank and I wanna replace it before I put it all back together.
I found this while looking for a video on oil cooler thermostat replacement. Would you possibly have knowledge on doing such a thing on a E38 740iL? I got a '99 that I need to replace it on.
hi i replaced et, no headgasket issues. no white smoke. but the thermostat underneath the et is broken. do u think it leaks the coolant? thx
Why is my transmission oil cooler no firmly staying in bracket and the bracket insert to radiator. All have a horrible leak. All new parts.
Question from Joe.What makes your temp gauge move back and forth. Ive changed tank and radiator but still having thid problem
you should have gave us more details on how to put the coolant on the thermostat. I broke my when I put it on.
Hey man I would really apreciate if u could tell me what the part that goes directly connected to the expansion tank and radiator. I have A 2008 bmw x3 3.0 Si expandion tank.
So for automatic bmw do u have to by a new trans thermo? I gotta fix mine now so I was gonna axe some questionz
If my thermastat is broken will that cause it to leak

Sorry i will pray for you 'my mom died on braes cancer i know how bad it is GOD BLESS YOU GOD WILL HELP YOU take care
Did your BMW E46 Coolant tank blow and make a big Mess ?
BMW E46 Coolant expansion tank amzn.to/3jKb9or
is the thermostat necessary with a manual trans?
does the expansion tank only have one pull tab at the bottom? because the smaller opening does not have one and i have a leak.
me too try putting the old rings in that solved my leek
Help a lot
I have a BMW 325xi, i recently changed the expansion tank and i noticed that the power steering pully is touching the expansion tank and it made a hole again and i was wondering what should i do or check to fix the problem.
+Jason Alexander That shouldn't be happening, unless the tank isn't mounted properly or the car was in an accident and not repaired properly. You may want to consider bringing the car in to a professional this may be beyond a DIY repair.
Watching the fucking video in the fucking 2019. Fucking love the fucking video
I've got transmission oil in my exspansion tank any ideas how to fix it
Hahahaha!!! Great video man!
also do you have a video in (e46)RAD replacement or am i not seeing it, i work the dead hour shift so my eyes are playin tricks with me
Mark Hecatonchires ive never had to change the rad yet but i'm sure i will sometime in the future
No lighting. Couldn't really see where the thermostat came out at.
BMW X5 changed water pump thermostat expansion tank and radiator coolant light comes on can you please tell me why Thanks
+MegaAmeer15 could be low on coolant
MegaAmeer15 or need to get a new sensor and click it in
Does anyone know the name of the hose at 3:18 ? I’ve been looking all over the forums and sites but yet to come up with a name for it
i swear i died laughing at 4.41...
i forgot to replace the transmission thermostat.. if it stops working do I have a fault light that will come up in my dash?
or your transmission will overheat and die, 90 percent of the time when the coolant tank is removed the thermostat is breaks
Bullshitkorner This is so true! First time I replaced my Expansion tank because it was crack thermostat survived...After a while I had to replace the power steering hose to radiator..I needed more clearance to work, and I broke my thermostat while taking out the ET. I'm so mad!
how can i take it out if its stock.
Hi guys I've got transmission flued in my exspansion tank any suggestions how to fix it
Try turning it off and on again. That always fixes it 10% of the time but if the flued is still there then you should definitely defrag your radiator.
F*CK! i broke my thermostat damnit just watched this vid too welp gotta wait for the mail to come in for my new thermostat. love the vid speaking with emphasis same how i work with my car.
Trying to remove my tank ATM and it's stuck like a real mutha fuka. Pissing me off so I've left it for the day. Snowing like fuck outside too. I had a too week coolant/anti freeze mixture and the dam thing exploded today. Rad and engine still ok. Dam weather is freezing everything. Even the bloody sea froze last night 😱
shit that sucks
Dude you put the wrong coolant in it
@bullshitkorner great video you the fucking man. now question i have an 04 X5 3.0i automatic build after 06/04. my expansion tank crack open and losing fluid i' m a now before i replace it would you be able to tell if those years and model have the thermostat built-in. i have already order a decent hella behr tank I don't want to removed it and come to find out the thermostat is builtin then i would have to wait a couple more days for the thermostat
i fucking love you bro no homo
everything went well and no shitshow? you're not jerry...
ya surprisingly no shit show when I did all the work on the BMW, but no worries i'm sure that bitch has something evil brewing
why you got to course. so much it sounds less intelligent. Canadian?
Bullshitkorner

Hilarious

am glad i take my shit to the dealer
who fucking cares?
Tony Bailey
your mama cares asswipe
fuck off troll
Get ripped off too
Hey brother, thx for the link to this video, I will be tackling my Euro bitch soon enough here, but is there any difference besides pricing with ordering parts from Pelican vs BMW dealership?! I heard a guy on e46fanantics forums say he received a bad part from pelican, but most likely the fucker prolly installed it wrong or broke it in the process Cuase the previous dick face that owned my car said he bought his parts from pelican and NOW im having to fix his "work" fuckers, let me know bud =)
Mark Hecatonchires there is many different types of parts on pelican from cheap to oem, i read the reviews on what people say about the parts before i order
Forgot to mention too, Coolant leak Problems started when coolant indicator came on so i saw that the original coolant that was used was green so i filled (my first time) it with Pentofrost* NF (blue color coolant) aka OE bmw coolant (bought from Orielys auto store) would that be one of the reason for my weird coolant leaking and radiator cracking?? Im already in the process of ordering all my new cooling system parts - im probably the idiot for doing that but hey fuck it, we all learn the hard way eventually
+Mark Hecatonchires No its not at all. I can be a number of things. Thermostat, Hair line crack in expansion tank, radiator busted.
this video would be really professional if you dont say bad things like fuukkk...
Do you really have to curse so much?
I really get a great deal out of your videos, but I dont need my 12 year old listening to the language.. it doesn't impress anyone.
C'mon Man..
Go watch another video then
If you work on bmw's 3 series, and you have big arms and hands, you'll find he didn't curse enough.
His mouth needs adjustments.
Sounds like you need a safe place
