Never saw you reclamp the reservoir coolant hose, there are clips to hold it in place above the radiator. Maybe that's why it broke in the first place. Also, they sell the complete hose assy all the way to the reservoir so you don't have to mess with the fitting that broke. Mine just broke and I'm replacing everything rubber or plastic associated with cooling. Thanks.

I clamped the hose back on at 8 mins 30 secs in! That’s a good idea to replace all parts possible!

Did you pre-dilute the coolant with distilled water? I just replaced the ET to Radiator hose on my N54 and replaced the clamp with a standard hose clamp.

I believe I used a 50/50 pre mix. But if you have concreted coolant it is suggest to pre mix to get your ratio right, if you have a coolant hydrometer you can just check your ratio that way. But if not pre mix and you’ll be good to roll. Best of luck!

do you have to drain out the coolant to install it?

You do not have to fully drain the system to do the repair, but a good amount will come out when you disconnect the hose

What's the 1st hose you disconnected called or a part number. Mine is starting to leak where it connects to the bottom of the upper radiator hose

Just did mine again...ughh! Your coolant is overfilled here btw. Only supposed to go to the ball on the level stick. But the ball should not be above the top of the neck on the tank when filled cold. Just FYI for next time if you don't know by now.

Did you drain the radiator already? I thought when you removed the hose connector piece, it would start leaking every where.

@@dirtykurty92 could you give more info on how to fill the expansion tank/when to tighten/loosen the bleed screw. When i opened my expansion tank, I don’t see the indicator pin float up when i top it off with 50/50 distilled/bmw coolant. When the water pump stops pumping for that brief moment, do you top it off real quick and let it pump again until no bubbles?

@dirtykurty92

@@boss3931 you can loosen the screw BEFORE getting the water pump to run. so start by loosening the screw, next is make sure your coolant tank is topped off. Then start the water pump bleeding process and you will see your coolant tank level go down as the air is purged from the cooling system. Top off the expansion tank as the coolant level drops down. The indicator should pop up when your coolant expansion tank is full. Maybe it is stuck down or something.. maybe try pulling it up very gently just to get it to move freely. it should go up and down rather easily.
