Starter Replacement /Intake Manifold Removal BMW N55 135i/335i
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- This video goes over how to remove an intake manifold off of a 2012 BMW 135i N55 Engine. I also show how to replace the starter on this car from the engine bay. I would recommend replacing the Oil Filter Housing Gasket, Oil Cooler Gasket, as well as the Intake Manifold Gaskets during this job. Another job to complete at the same time would be an intake valve walnut blast. Thanks for watching!

This is easily one of the BEST engine DIY videos I’ve ever seen! Incredible detail on each step and the camera and editing are spot on. You and your wife make a great team.
Not really, when there's no mention of replacing the bolts, nor torque specs, which are literally the two most important aspects of the job.
For as young as you are, your a great mechanic. I don’t even own a BMW, and I have been watching all your videos because you are very detailed and clearly explain as you go along. For you guys that own BMW’ s and like to do your own work, this guy is worth his weight in gold.
Daaaamn, 20 mins into and we are still removing the wiring... drastically different to M54. Loving the video, do more 135i content and possibly N54. Tnx
By far the most informative and easiest to follow on this especially with the electrical. Thank you!!
Thank You! Glad it helped!
@@ShopLifeTV At 28:07 there is a cable or little hose line traveling across the back of engine, to the right side it attaches to the body. You never mentioned it, or disconnected it. This hose disconnected from the left side, and I can't figure out where it goes over on the LEFT side? What is that hose, and where's it go?
I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing video. I was able to change out my starter that failed on me. I have a 2011 N55 335i. This was exactly what I needed. All your videos are great bro!
Thank you, I need my starter replaced and the shop quoted me $1100 so doing this myself saves me a lot of money! Appreciate the time you spent to make this easy to follow video!❤️
I love you man no homo, you're literally the only one that covers stuff for and E chasis N55 and you're very knowledgeable and informative. Keep up the good work bro 💪
The Best diy bmw n55 video
One of the best videos I've ever used.
Update: Job done! 👏 changing this starter was an absolute see you next Tuesday of a job. Getting the rear bolt off was such a headache. Flex head ratchet didn’t work. Ended up having to use a small swivel ratchet and pry bar on the tunnel to get enough room. Such a shit design. 🤷🏻♂️🤌 The charge pipe on the M235i goes down and the space with the bolts on the throttle body is so awkward. We literally ended up essentially having to take everything off twice after forgetting to put sensors on that went under the inlet manifold 🤣 Most useful part of this video for us was how to get those connectors off. Although it was a headache I loved the process and feels satisfying driving around knowing we did it ourselves and saved over $1000. Next sports car I buy will probably be 90’s model JDM 😂
Thanks for a great video! I wanted to add for everyone complaining about all the wires. It's like this because of him having the more compact 1-series. I have a 3-series with the same engine it's a lot more spacious in the engines compartment. The intake manifold is a lot easier to remove with almost no wires going over it, the charge pipe is however a little bit more difficult to remove since it goes more toward the bottom of the vehicle on the F30 rather then towards the front like here.
3 series a big boat, 1 series is correct size for sports car
Great video and honestly felt like I couldn’t have done it without this. The attention to detail is great and I’m forever appreciative.
I did a 2002 z4 a while ago and was so much easier than this. I would suggest a ratcheting e12 wrench. It was a life saver and so much easier to get the back bolt off the starter.
Excellent video. Replaced the intake manifold gaskets on my girlfriend's 2014 535i and addressed two 102A01 and 108001 signal electrical fault codes. One tip I have learned for the removing the electrical connectors is using a small pair of vise grips to pinch the connector clip and then I can work it loose.
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for having this video up here. I spent way too long changing the starter, replacing gaskets, cleaning valves and so on today. Had it not been for your video, I probably wouldn't have made it half way through disassembly. Thank you for the very detailed video up here. I will say that I wound up using an E16 Torx on that rear starter bolt and that's how I was finally able to get it off. It was nearly stripped with the 14, and 12 was too small.
You are a saint. Thank you for posting this video.
Man! You are The Master. It would take me a month to do this job, because I would have to stop and watch this video again for every dingle steps removing those connecters, AND mark them. Thanks a million!
Most purposely detailed and comprehensive 'How-To' vid on RUclips. Many many thanks!
Now. How about Vanos rebuild?!!
Thank you so much for this video. I just did my first starter replacement for 2014 BMW X1 Xdrive 35i. After that I turned the car on and it works!
Awesome video. My first time I worked on my car, I used ribbons around each cable I took off. If the job is really involved and has many removals, label the ribbons numbered 30 to one and attach 30 to the first thing you take off going down to lower numbers. When you are done installing, start from the lower number and go to 30. This way you're less likely to bend or crack anything and you wont miss any connections.
An excellent video your a great team, fabulous detail for the DIYer explaining and demonstrating exactly what goes where and most importantly how all the clips work, thanks.
Thanks Carl! Glad to help!
Great video. Here is what I messed up- one of the plugs on the DME wasn’t in all the way and threw all kinds of codes and the car didn’t start. Got it seated properly and she fired right up.
3 years on respect man this helped me where I got stuck on the dme connections couldn’t find anywhere else online
If you have any questions about this, please reach out, happy to help anybody. '11 e90 335. He mentioned plugs and coils and breather tube, but there is a lot you can do while the intake manifold is off as CHEAP and quick preventative maintenance that I highly recommend. Prevent expensive and inconvenient failures. Fuel rail pressure sensor, access to alternator for voltage regulator/brushes, oil filter housing gasket, hpfp, check or replace your ground strap near the driver side tire and clean/tighten if needed, check for leaks throughout. The first 3 are less than $50 each and tend to fail around 100k.
I recently had the voltage regulator start dying, the low voltage caused my FRM module to stop working (lights, windows etc). Shipped it out on ebay for someone to reset it. Pulled the alternator, did the voltage regulator and brushes. Did the oil filter housing gasket while I was there. You have to take the intake manifold off (at least a little bit) to access a oil filter housing bolt underneath it as well as to wiggle out the alternator. I find myself coming back to reference this video for other work. Very useful for these things.
Would have loved to watch the video but, 6 ad markers?? Smh not cool
It is a 47min video showing you how to fix something and save money so yes I will try to make at least some money for my time and for my editors time
Sammy James shake your head hit the X and bounce why the fuck are you here you pure hating fuck
@ Sammy James Or you could just pay $10 a month for RUclips Premium and do away with ads completely. The ads pay for content you're getting at no charge. Pay your own way or stop complaining about the free (ad-supported) ride you're getting. It costs money to pay people to support the largest streaming site on the net.
Wonderful to see people helping other people ,thank you
Thank you for the tip on removing the back starter bolt with the Harbor Freight extension. That bolts was a pain trying to remove it using various other methods. Thanks.
THANK YOU BRO....I've literally been trying to find a video where someone actually explains/shows how to get those connectors out from the DME...
You are the 1st video I've seen that actually showed and explained how....so thank you....I already have everything else off and didn't wanna try and force them off (especially connectors as important as these)...Good lookin! Subscribed
Yes, indeed, much more sensors and connectors to unplug than previous E39 or E46, but once you go over the fear of not remembering what is what and where they go (labels if needed is a good idea for beginners), then it becomes a less stressful work. The key is to have time and room and never panic, take tons of pictures if needed.
Pics are great for getting it all back in place.
This was a great video thank you. I need to change out my HPFP on my X3 35i, so this video help me out a lot.
This video is awesome. I used it to replace my starter on my 2011 135i. Please make more vids on the car, it is hard for me to find any vids on car maintenance
The only real problem to working on a BMW is the monstrous number of different mounting hardware and connectors. Not really a problem just an aggravation. Just make sure you have a diverse toolbox and you'll be OK! 👍
Thanks for the upload. Looks like you've done this process once or twice before. Haha. My 2016 M235i has not started a couple of times recently and othertimes its been slow to crank before starting. Battery is at 90%, Alternator is fine, so I suspect the stop/start fuction has started to wear out the starter. Shit scared to drive it anywhere and turn it off, incase it doesn't start again, so bought a new starter and will beusing this video as a guide tomorrow.
BROOOO this video is a lifesaver thank you so much!!!!!!
great video thank you for making it! also not sure if you/anyone else mentioned but ive heard the starter bolts are aluminum one time use so be very careful removing and installing! they say to replace them everytime they are removed but i believe its just precautionary
Literally the best tutorial ever, thank you
I appreciate your help homie! i learn a lot instead of going to the shop to spend thousands !!.
Man i didn't think anything would make me appreciate having to remove the intake manifold on my N54 but wow doing it for a N55 sure does.
This is a fantastic video that has given me the confidence that I can replace the starter on my 2011 135i. Thank you!
I didn't catch the manufacturer of the replacement starter - just know it's made in Poland! If you see this, can you type into a reply?
Your videos are great, thank you from a fellow BMW tuner.
GREAT WERK BUD! Glad we have u💯💪🏽
highly recommended also to change the b+ battery to starter to alternator cable.
For anyone viewing this who decides to change their Oil Filter Housing Gaskets at the same time (good idea), be aware there is a procedure you need to do to prime the oil lines, to avoid catastrophic engine damage. Look up FCP Euro's videos on this.
Wow !! That was Awesome !! Great Work Jason & Selena !!
Thnks! You are our hero... Bimmer Hero. The cars love you too. No homo. just love mechanic brothers. We keep the world moving.
Thanks pro you saved my day seriously. 🙏🏽 God bless
Hi. Thank you for all the insightful videos, I am new to the BMW world and i am learning a lot.
I have an E46 318i 2004 model,
Then engine runs smooth on start up but when it warms up in a minute or two it starts shacking. After tests, it seems like its only running on cylinder 2 and 3.
i installed new Bosh spark plugs. The spark plugs before any further tests and swapping were running rich (Dark black) on cylinder 1 and 3.
I tested the coil packs, swapped them around and they all seem to be working fine, the problem does not travel at all. It remains on cylinder 1 and 4
i tested the injectors and swapped them around and they all seem to be working fine.
The only other thing that i can think of is testing the electrical plugs which connect onto the coil packs for 1 and 4 seeing that there is no sign of electrical power going through and causing spark.
Can you please tell me what else i might need to look into.
Thank you for your time.
This is about as thorough as a DIY as I've seen. Thanks for the details on the connectors, and the video work was great! I will be performing a walnut blast on my 2013 E88 with 60K miles in the next week or so, and this how-to video is exactly what I needed.. With the battery disconnected, you must've turned the crankshaft to get the valves closed when you did the valve cleaning. Which direction do you turn the crank when facing the engine? Thanks!
Man I need him to work on my bmw good mechanics are very hard to find these days they don't want to pay attention to details or even do the work.
Saved my day ! Thanks
And yes, i do the work on the beamer and my other vehicles myself save time and money.
Thank you for the video. I have a bad starter power cable and trying to replace. Is it possible to not remove the manifold if I'm only to replace the power cable not the starter?
23:21 I would crank the bolts loose to avoid breaking the bolts since they are made of aluminum they can break easily.
awesome job on the video. so easy to follow
Long time follower.. you haven't ",promised" us a follow up video showing how to use ncs expert/inpa. Setup was very well done ahah just hope you haven't forgotten lol
My 2016 X5 didn't start running after two attempts. Very cold -30. Third try nothing happened and got a starter malfunction message. Battery tested good and can here a click under hood when pressing the start button. Have it in a warm garage now. Hope that helps! If not I'll be doing this job!
No matter what you do, do not use a remanufactured starter! LoL 😆 You certainly want a reliable starter with the complexity of this job.
Thanks!
No problem! Hope the DIY went well!
how long does a job like this roughly take you?
Can you just put the throttle body back with the intake manifold or do you have to put the intake manifold on then throttle
Body on ?
What was the torque value for the oil cooler, Oil filter Housing and intake manifold ?
Hello, good morning, your video is excellent, I would like to ask you a question with a comment that you put in the recommendations, for example. change the oil cooler gasket, change the oil filter base gasket and other work to complete at the same time would be a nut blast from the intake valve. The latter I do not understand what you mean? Another question, friend, to be able to put that motor on time, it is necessary to lower the starter because I do not see a hole to place the pin
Great video. Very clear
Great explanation. Thanks!
Cant you just leave the throttle body on there? Just worried there's another bolt to break and another gasket to seal again
Is there a cable on each side under the cabin air filter or is mine like that or am I trippen because if not then I forgot where one of my cables go I have a 2012 bmw 335i
Hello I have 2013 x5 xdrive35i and I have a po171 code and p112f code, any idea what can be the issue ?
I have a 2003 325xi and it recently ran into some problems where the engine stutters when I turn it on then dies. And it started dying while driving. We changed fuel pump. Still doing it. Have any ide?
Changed my starter . Now it cranks but is not starting. Before it won’t even start. Now I’m getting a message saying reduced output??? Any help?
So I replaced a clutch and ended up over tightening the bolt for the starter that's on the trans housing , I stripped the top of the bolt and now I need to replace the starter , pleaseeeeee help I can't get the bolt off
Recently changed my starter but now the car starts then dies after 1 or 2 seconds. car worked okey before. any idea what it can be?
Make sure all connectors were hooked up properly and double check all of your work. Also check for codes. If you need more one on one help go to www.shoplifetv.com
Do you have a video on changing the hpfp the new round style from Bosch and connecting the harness adapter
I just did the starter and it worked but
Now its overheating? Water pump fuse you think??
I’ve never had a problem disconnecting just the ground off the battery.
What are your thoughts on the early n55 primary E series and rod bearings getting spun?
Fantastic video! I have a question. A mechanic replaced my starter and after receiving the car, it starts rough and has a weird idle. On my DME I have 108001, 104401, 119001, 133E10 immediately after he finished replacing the starter. What is your opinion on what I should or what is wrong. Thanks!
Did you get this fixed ?
@@dongotti85 no
What is the name of the red wire on the engine harness
Skips the only part I came to the video for …
When you gonna make a oil catch installation video on N55 motor 🙏🏼
torque specs needed for intake manifold to cylinder head, throttle body to intake manifold, and strut braces (3)
When you hook up the battery is there anything that needs to be reset?
It's ridiculous how many different tab & plastic connector styles are used. As if there is no standardization. Half the trouble is figuring out how to unplug something without it breaking.
Maybe you can help me i have a 08 535i and i replaced my starter but i have a connection under the manifold the plug is a 4 contact oval flat green strip .. where does it go to i cant find it anyplace.its ab wire that runs towards back of car and about 8 inches long coming out the plastic box from the underside manifold
here is a image of the connector www.ebay.com/p/1345102180?iid=114138343074 its has the green stripe on the end of the female end
So I changed my starter but my car still won’t start I have 2011 335xi sedan
Automotive standards for sensors and power need to change. I notice a lot of unnecessary wire. SCADA uses a network and power in the same line. As a network, only one cable needs to go to each sensor. Instead of using PWM for signals, SCADA uses ip protocol. BMW, GM etc are behind the times, Tesla uses this method though.
I have 165k miles on my N55 I try to start the car and no crank, I replaced the battery and still no crank , just a single click , could it be the starter?
Yes
Where are you located? I need mine replaced 😅
Hey do you know anything about terminal 87_1 no ground !?
All this to change a damn starter... Great
Where do I find legit inpa software these days. I’ve purchased 3 from eBay and none have worked. Thx
Nice I suscribe !!
How much is labour wages charge for this
What’s the torque spec for both the long and short torx bolt on the starter?
20nm
I’m confused why my guy is about to remove the entire engine to get to the starter... I changed my starter on my 335i N55e all I did was remove intake, and manifold, I put the manifold not fully off but shifted it to the side leaving enough room to remove the starter.... this is why shops end up charging an extra 5 hours of labor
There is always a proper way to do the job, and also repair other items that are known to fail. This video serves 2 purposes: to show how to remove the manifold and also how to remove the starter. You can get creative and not remove the whole manifold if that is what you want to do. Regardless, always great to DIY!
@@ShopLifeTV I agree your video helped immensely I was just saving a little time moved a couple things to the side instead of removing, also for the bolt that holds the starter from the transmission side I just used a regular wrench
Can this engine be installed in an f10
N55 was offered on the F10 535i. It's a LOT of work to install these into the car but it CAN be done. Best suggestion is get a wrecked car with this engine, preferably an F10 535i and transplant everything over. HUGE job but be sure to document it if you decide to go for it. Good luck!
I can’t find that ratchet 😢
So No...on my plans to buy a 135i...
I’m very thankful to you for this very clean content. I followed you when I replaced my starter yesterday. It started and work but the windows weren’t properly so stupidly disconnected the negative port of the battery and when I tried to start the car again, it doesn’t wanna run and make this sound l: can you tell me what would the problem be? ruclips.net/user/shortsRKw3Dtno-pw?feature=share
Also I think the mistake I did when is that I did not disconnect the battery when I was replacing the starter 😓
-----UPDATE----
I have fixed the issue 😃
I have removed everything again (same steps you see in this vid to reach out to the the starter) I unplugged the wire with the the connector that is connected to the starter (right bellow the power cable) and re-plugged it.
That solved my problem in my comment above.
If you removed the battery as I stupidly did right after replacing the starter and have not given enough time for the ecu to identify and program the new starter, then do this.
Reminder! Always to disconnect the battery when you do any work that involves electrics/electronics … etc.
This is just proof American did it better with Ford and the starter being easy to get to and non of this extra bs

I own a 2010 328i xdrive coupe.and just spent 900$ to replace a starter.they could have found an easier place for it.other then that no other problems have had the car for 4yrs now.you must keep up with maintenance before things go wrong.imo
Nothing you can do if things like a start goes bad other then just replace it as soon as you get have symptoms of it about to fail. Parts fail in all old cars there is nothing you can do about that. Just learn how to work on your own BMW you will save tons of money
