I'm a N55 owner, and I appreciate the video. We have a similar hose that runs the same route. Unfortunately, the N55 has two plastic clips in the center section. Over time, they get brittle and break. When this happens, the hose can rub against the crank pulley. Managed to catch it before it cut through. I'll be changing mine very soon. Thanks again.

Yoo bro what did you use to remove the 2 bolts from the bracket that holds up the hose.. currently working on this right now

Thank you for this. The visual of where that hose is attached and mounted under the driverside is extremely helpful.👍

The only video that I could find about this hose. THANK YOU

I nose my front end slightly onto a concrete garden bed kurb at home centre carpark, cracked the lower plastic part and dumped all my coolant. My new part arrived yesterday. Thanks for your video.

I did this repair on an automatic 07 328xi and the bracket was a 10mm bolt. This video helped a lot, thanks.

@@Everybodyshinetogether1all 6 of those metal bands on my 328i automatic are a single piece of steel, slightly crimped in a factory to hold them tight. If you try to use a regular screw radiator hose clamp to replace those bands you will likely crush the plastic connector - which would put you back to buying the BMW part (not any worse off).

Man I did mines with out this video about a year ago and I was looking for this video but same thing happened to me and I thought about making a diy thanks u for saving the world

Same. Have done this twice now. lol

Thanks for posting! The ONE thing I came for is to find out how to get that damned third bolt off. I’ll try one of those little ratchets with a 10mm on my automatic, and if that doesn’t work I’ll start taking suspension off until I can reach it! Do you ever want to smack around the engineers that designed a specific part? 😅

Informative, thank you for making this video!

Appreciate it man!!

Thanks a lot good video

Thanks alot man!!

Thank you bro!

6:17 We've all been there🤣🤣

I was waiting for this video Thanks

Can you not take the hose apart, specifically the part that connect to the expansion tank

This is probably the only video I can find on this and it's still not exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to find a video showing the 07 n54 hose because there's a small horse shoe shaped hose we have and that's the part I'm leaking from. A shop wanted $1038 for labor and $330 for the hose, claimed it would be a 6 hr job🤡 You a 6 hr lie. Ima give you over 1,000 dollars to replace a $30 piece of rub and plastic🤣🤣 hopefully mine gets here Sat😮‍💨

The dealer wanted about $2,000 to fix the oil leak on my 328i xDrive, which I thought was crazy until I saw how much of the subframe you have to remove to get the oil pan off. Planning to DIY at some point, using shortcuts from other KZread channels.

You a real one🫡

this job sucked on thec335i. yhe reservoir side had no room

What’s the part number

Any idea what the part's name is? Can I find it at any auto parts store?

@sweetvrevenge740

It’s called a coolant recovery tank hose on the FCP Euro website, but as far as auto parts stores I think they would have to special order it I don’t think they would have it in stock

Will this be the same as the 2011 328i xdrive n52 engine?

Pretty much except your gonna have an extra hose that connects to your transmission cooler. In the e middle. It’s gonna be a 3 way connection almost dead center.

It’s for the trans mission cooler. You’re only gonna find that extra hose on cars with an N52 I believe. Don’t quote me on that. But that’s def what the other hose is for. I’ve done this job twice.

Did you have to bleed your engine to do that?

@sweetvrevenge740

What’s sup! After installing the part and refilling your coolant reservoir, you do need to bleed it to get all the air bubbles out which is super easy to do if you look up the video But, if you meant that, if you need to drain the coolant to replace this part then no you don’t have to, but it would make it less messy if you did lol

Hi BMW e93 328i automatic transmission, leaking on connection between coolant reservoir and this lower hose, which one should I replace?!

@sweetvrevenge740

I would definitely do the coolant reservoir first it’s easier and also the o ring on the lower hose, before doing the entire lower hose hopefully that fixes it
