After no coolant leaks found, you found an oil leak. I almost fell out of my chair! Long live the N54!

I really hope that you flushed all the cooling system to make sure no other pieces of the radiator cap were floating around before installing the new water pump, another piece can easily get lodged in the new pump and distroy it.

You are correct, however the pump being the lowest part of the system makes it difficult to flush anything other than the overflow bottle.

All the cold winters, snow, ice and the salt on the roads. Its a recipe for corrosion. I'm in the UK. We occasionally salt the roads and my car is rusted on all the lower parts near the road surface for the same reasons.

Cover everything in degreaser, jack front of car up, get patio cleaner head for your pressure washer and use that underneath, I’ve found it works a treat at cleaning the underside! Just use normal pressure washer for the top with degreaser again and long wheel brush!

That looks so much easyer than on an xi

I goto the car wash by me that has a lift in the one bay, I buy a bunch of bottles of engine cleaner spray it all over my engine top and bottom (I remove the bottom tray) I start the car and while its running I pressure wash the hell out of it everywhere making sure to spray facing away from the ECU box when it comes to that side of the engine compartment. By the time I am done the car looks new again! This also helps identify where a leak is actually coming from as its not a giant grease ball anymore.

If I ever own an N54 I reckon I could do a few jobs now thanks to this channel... How much harder would it be on Jack stands though 😅

Very nice fix. My new water pump is a Continental with plastic housing, unfortunately. They crack through heat cycles and age. Not only in warm countries. In Holland we are in a sea climate, so nothing crazy. Mine was cracked, but only losing a small amount of coolant yet. It was 11 yo and only 83k km's !!! Now I know INA sells a complete aluminum pump, my next pump will be an INA one. INA is actually a German water pump supplier for BMW. Maybe they saw these pumps fail and did an aftermarket upgrade. We are lucky here. There's only one (manual) car wash in our county that offers a high-pressure degreasing program. I wonder for how long this will be possible. So 2 times a year I go there and degrease the whole engine and bay. It's like new, I can tell you. I get compliments every time I go to the MOT inspection(ones a year in my case). Hopefully, there is no oil leak at the turbo oil feed line O-rings. But now you guys have to lower the subframe anyway, it's a much-relaxed job. The n54 doctors will strike again ;-) . Dutch regards, Nico

SWEET, so its ready for rolls at the end of the month 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Purple Power does the job really well & a brush if necessary to degrease everything

FYI - I’ve always bled my N54 with the cap and bleeder screw closed. You top it off (if nec) after the bleed has finished.

Nice one mate.. made it look easier than I'm sure it was.. out of curiosity did you use the new bolts ;) ?

At this point in time im gonna leave the tuning to the guys that know best. These are super easy to make a little bit of power on (which is why there are so many internet tuners out there), but then they are very hard to perfect things like timing corrections, especially during load certain conditions. I have spoken in depth with JSR (the guy that has tuned mine) and for the money its not worth trying to learn yourself. Unless you want to invest 100s of hours in to it, which i just cant do..... got too many videos to edit haha. On the same note, if you have time i think its something great to learn about yourself. Even if you end up paying for a tune, having some background knowledge before you pay for a tune will net you a better result i bet.

It's probably bad, but I don't bother with the top bolt of the water pump anymore, It's such a pain to get to.

Hi, love the videos keep it up You seem to be abit of an N54 guru and I'm completely stumped so I've been through around 5 water pumps in the past year my current one has a very strange issue and I wondered if anyone else has experienced anything like it, when the engine runs the pump doesn't work, no codes nothing just stops working secondly when the car is locked / unlocked or doing a bleed procedure it runs absolutely fine but the second I turn the engine on overheating is imminent I'm completely stumped and refuse to buy another waterpump. Strangely enough I've just attached it to a battery charger thinking it could be voltage related and that's also stopped the pump working briefly.

That's oil filter housing gasket leak. Going down where the cylinder head gasket is located and then it goes down the back. If that's a track car/daily do the OFH gasket and the hose that goes from cylinder head to thermostat (have to pull fan) because the plastic part is mush, they make an aluminum one that is permanent. The main way these car die is to overheat. Don't play with cooling. Don't want oil and coolant to mix in the OFH. Good luck, she is in good hands.

I know that shipping from the US isn’t ideal for you but this company veinstands.com/ actually figured out how to rebuild N54 injectors.. for $390 it’s a pretty freaking awesome considering a new set is $1400 from FCP. They rebuild every index 1 through 12. Also.. those turbos aren’t great IMO.. just Chinese with a VTT name plate.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this already. But that "crack" line in the plastic is like that from the factory. Look at any of the water pump photos on ecs or fcp and that line is already in the plastic.
