Glad I'm not the only one that makes a 'simple' job take ages lol
Hahaha honestly hate it!
When I did this all I did was unbolt and remove the water pump and thermostat, unbolt the ac compressor and pull it forward some (just bend the hard lines a little) and you can get access. Took 20 minutes to remove. This was on a non turbo (N52) 328i.
Hope imma have to just do this. I replaced my n52 engine on my 330i and my dumbass reused the original inlet hose on my old engine and its leaking ://
I remember your video when you were chasing that leak and I commented in that video that it probably that dam pipe , I did that job on my e60 but luckily 5 series had a bit more room , It was a nightmare and until you do this job yourself it’s hard to understand how frustrating this job is . I wanted to cry at some point ... lol
Hahaha
Your honesty and thoroughness is why I keep resorting back to you for n52 tutorials. Keep it up! I also take way longer on my jobs because like you I’m Cautious and don’t want to mess anything up. I enjoy the step by step in your videos
Thanks Chad, much appreciated!
Combined with the brake line change, you are starting to make old BMWs look difficult to work on!! Keep it up, of it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger. ;)
Good on you for sticking with it I had a few times like that when I was mechanic. It would be interesting to get a quote from BMW for replacing that hose and see how much money you saved.
Pretty sure they’d quote for engine removal😅
Terrific video. What a painful job, but you stuck with it. Well done!
N52 528xi here. Just finished a complete refresh of the cooling system except for that coolant pipe and the thermostat and pump as they appear to both still be working just fine.
The refresh did NOT stop the leak and I now have a small drip that seems to be coming down into the water pump from above and watching this video makes me think it's the same thing you dealt with here.
I'm going to check all my hose clamps first but wow watching this video...
Big respect GA!✊
That was one tough 'muda fuckn ball breakn b'strd'🤬🤬 by the looks of it you've probably made a lot of guys with coolant leaks terrified to even look and see if they have the same issue! But at least if they do they can learn from this excellent tutorial 👌
Thanks bro! ✌
Hahaha thanks man
Good video 👍🏼
What a mission that was! I knew you’d get it done tho good job mate!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Cheers mate!
Epic job there George. You stuck with it and boxed it off nicely. Let's hope it's cured for good. 😎
I hope so too
omg rofl what a nightmare. I have most of my 128i apart and have easy access. I was considering replacing the hose but after seeing this video I will definitely replace the coolant feed hose now.
You can buy special drill bits for drilling out hardened bolts. They cost a bit more but make the job quicker and easier. Cobalt I think. And there are other ones which are even better than cobalt. Can’t remember now.
Yeah think I need to invest into some decent ones!
George, the only guy who gets a three day job in an 18min video. Respect!
Hahaha
Nice work George. How does the bmw shop manual say you should tackle it?
Do you remember the torque spec on that inlet pipe to block? Thanks
Do you think this would've been easier on an e60 in terms of the issues with exhaust clearance?
Not something a chancer diyer could do on his drive way in corwall
Hahaha
I just show bits and pretend i did the rest. Editing is key to fooling
good one bro
We got it done in the end lol
Same as E90 335d engine bay, extremely tight access everywhere, from every single angle of approach
Haha I bet! The joys of owning a 3L engine in a small chassis!
A company just contacted me to send me 1 of dese so i can design an app cos i used to design apps for android innit bruv trust me
What you sayin bruv lol
@@seanpaul3050 As you guys know its a common problem bruv I say dis to all my mandems dats why dey come to me bruv trust me as you guys know dat i invented bmw bruv trust me
Good one, but once ya started ya got to finish it ✊
Epic job mate, hope your leak doesn’t come back. Did you use coated drills for taking bolts?👍
Used masonry carbide drill bits to drill them out👍🏻
Hi George - I know this is past but did it resolve the unexplained coolant leak? I’m having abs unexplained leak I can’t find it’s loosing a lot but not into the engine and the oil cooler has been changed but still happening. Best wishes
Was the micky mouse flange in the end
Min 9:45, trust me I know the feeling, took me 2 months to take the ball joint out from my e39 hub, for front (steering arm)and rear control arms. No junk yard parts available, and used are with cut arms, which means have to do same procedure on.
Don't mention it, tried fire, old trucker ball joint extractors, bought two joint extractors, ball joint sway jack, left in vice grip over two weeks with wd40, Teflon, silicone oils, hammering, wax, yet nothing worked.
Damn
Was it leaking from the 3rd small pinhole on the gasket? Mine is leaking from there, I think its an alignment hole thats not properly seated.
This wasn't even the cause of the leak in the end
@@GeorgeAusters I just confirmed its NOT an alignment hole
Was it even the leak you were chasing? Just having the same symptoms as you and I dont know if I should replace just gaskets or whole pipe like you did
No it wasn't lol
@@GeorgeAusters so is it worth replacing or the leak is probably some where else? What do you think :D my pipe looks the same as yours did, little blue stains on the exact spot
I did at the bottom
Not welded, would have thought threaded the whole length. Therefore wouldn't tap out
There’s no thread in the exhaust flange😢
@@GeorgeAusters okay may well be the case. However in this scenario, for exhaust pipes and flanges etc. The application of heat is required, MAPP gas blow torch or an induction heater with lance. Sealey do a 2000w one for six hundred quid.
Jeez you stick at stuff,fair play to You,how many knuckles did you smash :-)
What a ballache that was.
Honestly! Lol
Dread to think what labour cost's would be at the stealers
I think they’d quote to remove the engine - no joke!

German engineering lol
Haha yep!
Yes, from a 6x BMW owner... I don't use to sell pieces of art!
@@leiflillandt1488 sorry i don't understand
@@beemers7242 What should I say about all my German engineered vehicles? 🙄
Once upon the time a German police officer told me, if we use BMW cars we have to have a spare engine in the garage... Have the times changed in the last 35 years?
Nevertheless I enjoy driving, at least BMW. As long as they last...
Happy New Year!
