BMW X3 M54 Coolant Leak: Removing the Intake Manifold and replacing coolant pipes

- Опубликовано: 17 фев 2023
- In today's video, we replace the notorious M54 Coolant lines under the intake manifold on a 2005 BMW X3 3.0 liter. This is a common issue among all M54 straight 6 equip BMW models of the 2000s. This procedure is nearly identical for the E46 3 Series, E85 Z4, E60 5 Series, and E53 X5.
This video is intended for reference and entertainment purposes. Please remember to torque each fastener to the proper specifications.

Only video i've found for the 3.0 e83, you're the bomb man thanks so much for sharing this!
Thanks for teaching us personally I really appreciate it best video I have watched
Great video! I have to do the same on my 328i 2000
Great work. Thank you.
Very impressive. Thanks for showing this. What is the difference in the two coolant temp sensors. The one you showed and the one at the front of the car?
Oh man , I believe it's time to get mine done 😓😓😓😓😓😓
Thanks for the tips and everything 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just did this job and replaced the CCV but new pipes are leaking coolant like crazy. I will take everything appart again and this time use some RTV or JB Weld waterweld on the end. I don't want to deal with this problem ever again .
I'm sorry to hear that. I've had similar issues using cheap replacement parts on other M54 engines. Using coolant safe RTV is never a bad idea. Best of luck.
I didn't even know you could access the 16 mm bracket bolt without removing the throttle body
Not sure if I’m over thinking it but I’m not sure if I’m looking at the right parts
Not covering the intake ports was stressing me out lol
Where does that single vaccume line go thats connected with the canister i cant find where it connects im manifold i see to im my x3 in back of manifold but they are both, plugged with a rubber plug
I love german cars, but jesus christ overengineering is killing me, different bolts, lugs, no space in the engine bay, to change something you have to take half of the engine😁
Yep just got an estimate for oil pan gasket replacement 2000 dollars and guess what the same bmw x3 also had these coolant pipes leaking too just when winter starts this happens
Mexico bro
😂 yup that’s Bmw that’s why gotta learn to do it yourself it’s simple really just seems like to much if you over think it
Does the 3.0i m54 E83 not have a (Non return valve) & Vacuum Control valve?
How much time did this work take excluding the time to bleed the system at the end of the job?
Hi Ron, I think it took me 5 to 6 hours to film the process and complete the job. I would expect a seasoned DIYer to be faster without a camera.
@@Rurik_JustCruznI am new to this and am seeing it to be an HVAC Heater Hose. Am I correct?
is this the same engine model as a bmw x5 M54 2001?
Yes sir
My 06 x3 keeps overheating and when it does the radiator cap just lets all the fliud out, I got new tstat, new hoses, I temoved the water pump to inspect it but found no issues with it, any ideas anyone??
On my 1997 528 , it overheated. All parts good, BUT very dirty between radiator and air conditioner radiator, l removed coolant radiator and pressure washed it with water and air nozzle off air compressor. Leaves between parts restricted air flow. All good now for last 5 years
тенк ю соу мач, май американ бро!;)
HELPFUL TIP: THE O-RING SECTION WILL PROBABLY BREAK OFF IN THE BLOCK. USE A SECTION OF HACKSAW BLADE OR JIGSAW BLADE WITH VICE GRIPS. CUT SOME GROOVES IN THE PLASTIC. BREAK IT WITH A SMALL SCREWDRIVER AND THEY WILL POP RIGHT OUT. DONT PRY ON THE BOCK PLZ!
Good idea. I'll keep that in mind next time I do this job. Thanks for watching
