Do I have to drain coolant when replacing oil filter housing gasket for 6sp n54 ?

As a non-BMW owner, I want to rave about this video. Excellent pacing, superb camera work, detailed descriptions as you moved along. All the gotchas that the home mechanic will encounter were highlighted perfectly. I don't know if you own your own shop or not. If you do, I can only imagine the customers patiently waiting for you to maintain their car. If you work in a shop for someone, WHATEVER THEY ARE PAYING YOU IS NOT ENOUGH! Well done young man! A credit to your profession!

Just want to say thank you for this diy. Took the chance and did this myself yesterday and it took me 4 and a half hours to complete the job. Your explanation are great and your videos are so helpful. I may not comment every time but I do watch your video regularly again thank you. And keep up the good work.

Your videos are a BIG help for all of us who own a BMW!! THANKS SO MUCH!

Ever since I bought a BMW I have been watching your channel religiously! Keep up the good work!

Another great N54 DIY. The details makes this video a 10 !!! Dutch regards.

you deserve more likes and subscribes man... i had my e46 and your videos helped me now i have an E60 you're still helping.

Great video! I wish I had watched this earlier this month. I had the oil filter housing gasket fail and it caused the belt below it to snap and shred. Now it's in the shop to see if there's any shredded belt material that got sucked into the engine. Note to self and any other N54 owners, don't ignore an oil leak.

Dam, I just watch another diy take apart the front end with fan and, using rags and towels for leaks. I'm glad I watched you video, made it look 10 x simpler . You got a new sub

Thank you for getting right to the point and being on topic!

This video is soooo helpful. I’m going to replace this part real soon and I know this video will help. Thank you so much for your detailed video. Also, just a rant about BMW. ALL OF THIS DAMN WORK JUST TO GET TO ONE DAMN BOLT. THANKS BMW! I Love my NA Miata, so easy to work on.

Great video man I know I’m 2 years late but it doesn’t change the fact that this video and channel are great, earned yourself another subscriber

Thanks for the video i'm attempting my gasket change this weekend i've watched your video like 7 times so far I think i'm ready thanks again

Such a great video! I’m having the same issue with my 2008 335i thank you for this!!

Dude Great job again ! it is a 500 buck job at most shops ! Love your Genius ,you make it look so Easy ! Best DIY s Guys Ever !!! 2 thumbs up .

Very detailed and helpful, thank you!

BMW Engine Coolant Hose Z4 325i 325i,325xi,330i,330xi URO11537545890PRM A metal coolant fitting for the front of that oil filter housing base. Very inexpensive and effective. No more worries about designing plastic fitting or coolant leaks. I didnt remove my intake I used a 1/4 in drive shallow socket and swivel to remove the bolt under the intake. Super easy job! BMW wanted $1,600 bucks and parts was $27 dollars for the gasket.

Doing this today on my 2009 535, leaked enough over time to soften my upper radiator hose and cause a coolant leak, so replacing that as well. Already replaced my belt and front main seal earlier this year (thankfully the belt only got pulled into the motor a bit and was able to extract it in one piece!!). That is a horrible design flaw with these motors (the chronically leaking oil housing gasket as well)!!

Gotta love how dude says “customers needs it’s car back today” and he’s working on his own car 😂…..

learned alot from your channel man thanks

really good clear video matey good job

I think there was quite a few things that you honestly didn’t have to remove at all like the engine support brace and other connectors/ vacuum lines but hey still nice tutorial!

Thanks, just had to do this on my 335👍

This is a great tutorial! But I have a question... what suggestions do you have for a stripped aluminum bolt? (It’s the E10 that is on the underside of the oil filter housing).

Thank you for this video.

hey man love your channel you do great work on all your vids, quick question, im doing a n54 swap on a 07 bmw 335xi, any tips on what to replace as far as gaskets and bolts (heard the aluminium bolts are not reusable)? thanks man keep up the good work.

Does the hose to the throttle body need to be fully removed, or is it possible to just disconnect it at the intake manifold and pull the manifold? Or is it to difficult to finesse the manifold back in later? Great video. Thanks.

Just pickup 2009 535i XDrive real high miles runs bad at start low oil pressure after it warms up it ok sounds fine and advice

Excellent job👍

Thanks for the helpful video. Do you need to drain the coolant reservoir to do this job or can you do it without draining the coolant?

Did you prime the oil system before test drive ? I have seen lot of engine failure after this job if priming procedure has not performed

So i'm not draining my coolant before i do the replacement, I know i'll lose a little coolant from the hose, but when i put it back together --- am i in the clear to drive it 15-20 minutes to my auto shop to have oil and coolant change? Or do i have to fill it up with more coolant?

I did mine and have alot of engine codes, boost sensor, crankshft position sensor and thermal oil level sensor. Can antifreeze get into the mix changing this gasket.

Do those 3 bolts have to be torqued to a certain poundage? I am doing mine in a few days. Thank you for any info

hi you dont oiled up the housing gasket like many youtubers but wonder if it need to be oiled up in order to extend replacement routine or if it is not recommended thanks

Thanks for sharing l will do my tomorrow 11/13/2023 🙏

Jason,Bro you are to young to have all this knowledge!Lol, I know someone is hiding behind the camera and telling you what to say.Seriously thanks for your time and hard work.

Thanks for the video do you have other video for oil pan gasket for same engine?

Hi I have a 2008 328i and I'm getting oil in the coolant reservoir does it has only one gasket?

Jason , now that you’re in California are the cars you are finding in better condition than the ones from the east or SC you had been finding?

Hi,im changing my oil filter housing in my e90 ,the lower bolt is strip. Any advise to remove the bolt?i need help asap. Thank you

Your awesome man! You have a video for pretty much everything. I hope KZread ad money was worth the time. Otherwise come up with a donations link. I would contribute!

Does coolant and oil pass threw the filter housing ?

Would a symptom be oil in coolant? Or what could that possibly be

Bought a e89 n54 a few months back, already had a leak... I'm assuming this is a common issue?

Good job men

Hey Jason I recently came across you channel and really like ur work. Where can I get in touch with u regarding a project I m planning on.

Is there specific torque specs for those three bolts? I don't think my quarter inch torque wrench will fit in there!

Any chance of doing this video for a N20?

Do I need to disconnect battery before doing this?

Thanks bro.

Does anyone know if I have to change coolant when doing this for 6sp n54 335 ?

So you don’t have to drain the coolant or oil before taking it apart and changing gasket?

And in some cases this oil leak can actually cause an even bigger problem. When the belt becomes so slippery that it comes off, it shreds behind the crank pully and can destroy your oil seal and even will force pieces of the belt through the crank seal into your oil pan!!! Removing and cleaning the oil pan at the dealership is about $900 I think, because of the big amount of labor .......

Do we need to “PRIME THE OIL “ have a 07 335xi n54.

If you have a oil filter housing gasket leak on a n54 e90 would you have a burning smell on the interior followed by smoke from the passenger side of the engine?? Or does this sound closer to a valve cover leak??Any opinions greatly appreciated.👍

Sounds like the problem was the gasket, however, the coolant wasnt drained and replaced. Its always a good idea to drain and replace the coolant if you are opening the system up.

I know nothing about BMW'S I inherited a e90 335i from my father who passed. Car only has 80k but has had lots items replaced. Trying to keep it in tip top pristine condition. Just recently replaced the fuel pressure regulator assembly due to a cracked housing. Looks like I too have a slight leak coming from this oil filter housing. My question is I don't need new intake manifold gaskets? Also no need for any type of high temp gasket sealer on that housing with the gasket? Thank you.

J Williams if what you’re talking about is the cylinder head - thermostat coolant hose, it’s the one he talks about being corroded inside the head. It starts just underneath the oil filter housing and the connector has 2 bolts making it look like Mickey Mouse ears 🐭

@gdeangelkick

4 жыл бұрын

@@buzzyinurface The thing to do when you replace that hose is get the metal replacement hose bib to attach to the head and then clamp on the hose rather than put back on more of BMW's limited-life-span plastic. There is info on bimmer forums about it. If you were told to replace the hose, then do it because it will explode spontaneously and you'll loose all your coolant on the road. As far as filters go, I don't think there is one between the head and the thermostat... so if someone used those terms for you (and you didn't just get it mixed up youself) I wouldn't let that person near my car.

A bit late, but new BMW owner trying this myself. Do you replace the oil filter with a new one or reuse? Do you change the oil during this as well? If you loosen the intake manifold to get the housing out, doesn’t that break the seals? Shouldn’t you just remove it and replace the seals vs chancing that developing a leak too?

@TheFrenchPug

Жыл бұрын

You can re use unless you're changing your oil at the same time. Depending on how long its been the last time you replaced your manifold gaskets, it wouldn't be a bad idea since they're not expensive. I've seen many, many videos where they just put the manifold back on though.

Can you do with E10 swivel 1/4" socket for last bolt like N52s? I need this done but wanted to see if anyone tried that.

I was told the bolts holding the housing is made out of aluminum and have to be replaced everytime because they warp after being torqued the first time. Can you confirm that?

@gdeangelkick

Shop manual says that aluminum one-use bolts are painted blue from BMW. That doesn't mean someone didn't work on the car and you have ones that aren't blue... but if you know the cars history was dealer serviced, I think if they aren't blue you can reuse them.

Make sure to change your oil after doing this or it could damage the vvt solenoids and those are usually $100 a piece. You’ll know they are bad when the car give you a bunch different codes after this job

check your vacuum lines. On my 335i, I replaced most of my vacuum lines and noticed boost lag was minimal and my car went through the RPMs smoother as well as my fuel economy went up. If that doesnt work, replace your mass airflow sensor. If you had an N54, I would tell you to replace your charge pipe to a metal 1

Specifically citing the N54 engine. The vacuum tube is connected to two small vacuum lines that are right above the third bolt holding down the housing, there is no room to push them aside towards the manifold. The Oxygen sensor connectors are removed to allow the intake manifold to slide backwards a few inches, because that is the only way that you can access that third bolt on the oil cooler housing.

I have been working on BMW s for a while. This is the most " mechanic abuse" that I have seen from that manufacturer. With some exceptions the world is at your feet when you are in the design stages, but how this bolt ended up below the intake manifold with no access to remove it, without hours of work [ specifically referencing the 335i convertible ] is beyond me to reason [ Year 2004 to 2013 ]. And the Damn Housing is always leaking and dripping on the moving serpentine belt causing it to prematurely fail, slinging oil into the alternator and across the whole front of the engine. Oh BROTHER!!!
