Whats the point of this car if you're not supposed to use the ev mode?

Hello. I was having two issues, on my BMW F20 116i B38 2016, DTC 118001 & 130304. Both errors came along. For the first one, i have changed the - Fuel tank breather valve - OE code part 13907643106, and now the car is running ok. But i still wonder if that fixes the second error, the "130304 VANOS, exhaust: Control fault, camshaft stuck". I have made since then over 1000 km and the error 130304 doesn't appear anymore. Should i be worried, or considering changing the vanos or the vanos actuator? Thank you!

Would you recommend an i3 to somebody who knows nothing about how to fix a car? I'm eyeing a 2018 BEV 94ah for a little over $13k delivered with no accidents and 4 owners I'd be willing to pay a small consulting fee if you'd like to talk about it. I don't know anything about BMW, really. I'm just looking for a cheap, reliable car. Sorry to hijack the point of the video, I saw you comment in another video about BMW i3s

great video! not too much talking or bullshitting around. just the correct info and technique we need are showed by you. (need to do a (F46) B47 timing chain, engine has to come out from the underside i gues?)

if i buy a new kle does it need to buy coded,or new one does not need it automatically connects?

How come you prefer to diagnose electrical circuits with a power probe instead of a fluke meter. I’m wondering if I should make the switch

Awesome video thanks very much for doing it. My i3 is currently with a BMW independent trying to find a heater error. The heater has been replaced and the car reprogrammed to the latest spec. £1200 later and they still cant find the fault. E70C3A AC-LIN: EDH does not answer is the error code. All connectors look good and clean in the Fronk but I bet there is a wiring issue elsewhere - do you think I would get more errors if the CAN-BUS was to blame? Thanks again for this very helpful video.

I have an n20 crank no start HPFP was broken HP would not go past 125 Installed new pump and follower with updated connector HP will go to 1200 and drop off I disconnected coils and injectors my fuel pressure HP will go the and above the request pressure

Hi, what tools do I need to access the compressor and remove? Is it just normal screws holding the cover in place? Will I need torque wrenches to remove the compressor? Thank you!

Cheers Ben, we have had some luck doing exactly this over the past while. Good work

What pins on the fuel pump control module did you use to power up and the can signal please

Today is my last day at the shop I work at. I've only been meeting my guarantee per week for about 3 months, which is about $660 after taxes, and I said to myself this is not worth it anymore. What finally sealed the deal was that the other day I asked the other tech to stop using my name in conversations with customers if it doesn't pertain to our job, and he took offense. The owner jumped into the conversation and literally got mad at me screaming at the top of his lung "this is my shop and I'll talk to whoever and however I want to." Meanwhile the other tech was trying to gain points making me look bad by backpedaling on things he shared to me months earlier. The owner said he'll never throw us under the bus to a customer, but the other tech shared that the owner did just that only a couple of months ago. In the midst of the owner having a rant, the other tech was listing things he hates about me. He legit said "I hate the music you play." They are both children. I'm 33, the other tech is 44, and the owner is well into his late 50's. Other things, owner offers 5% discount to every customer that walks in on parts and labor, so I'm already working for 5% less pay. He will also let customers slide on the bill if the fix is "simple." I can spend an hour diagnosing a vehicle, correcting the issue, and not get paid for it because we didn't replace any parts.

Great video and loving the E30 in your living room ❤

😊

hii, I'd like to ask, did you replaced this kle ecu with a new one from factory or a used one, does it need any additional coding if its a used one? Thanks in advance.

Hi mate thanks for sharing your experience, so ETH-WUP won’t be permeated 10-12v like old radio signal ? Thanks

Great job, can this signal be emulated somehow to test the unit like Subwoofer amplifier out of the car??

Brilliant tool to demo Canbus. Love the in built faults. Keep the vids coming.

any advice on getting the boot open? I think my harness cabling is FUBAR'd so can't actually get it to open and I don't have an emergency release (UK car).

Nice

Will this fix my Yaris? Its also running on 3cyl!

Good that you made that board....for students/interns. The disadvantage of lidl is that i always buy something whats not on the shopping/grocery list (in the advertising tool section...sometimes surprisingly good or rubbish...) regarding content tip...Firts do what you can do...Every video what people like you post. is already a present/bonus for me/us....(regarding you invested time) I would maby stick to cases what you come across with. And maybe furher theory of operation regarding the problem/topic...

Fair do’s to you bud the effort you must of gone to to secure that DTI gauge to prove your diagnosis Quality 👌

3 jobs for the day, how do you not go broke? What is the pay structure at your shop? I struggle at slow times as we are paid flat rate.

Nice homemade tool....i wish a happy christmas

I love Lidl. My go to grocer in Europe. Can bus on bmw can be tricky with a shorted comfort access door handle. Their is no fault code and the whole network gets many false positive faults. The most difficult diagnosis I ever did. Maybe newer models have better fault detection than 2010 models.

Used to do this bag trick with the Audi fuel flaps, very similar looking actuator on there fuel flaps.

Appreciate the advice thanks 👍

Interesting take. Very weird you don’t mention all the good parts of DI

What size is that double hex nut?

Thank you for the video. Quick question tho, where did you buy the sunken nut with the blue seal? I can't find it online

Great content What is the name of specific name for th especial grease which is to be applied to the new valvetronic❤ motor gears?

Thanks. This was a great video.

A hybrid?

Direct injection is great. They just need to get rid of egr or find a different way to clean the exhaust gases before sending it back to the intake - engine to get reburnt.

Keep up the good work !

Or maybe we can start making Cars and trucks the way they used to Made.

I was thinking the same as the previous comment.... "Don't get anything new, get an electric car" ... WTF. Lol

I love mechanics that post the junk of the industry. I'm a life long diy guy, and i remember actually working as a tech when VW first introduced the fsi engine. It was amazing that some of the early engines actually suffered from this issue on a much higher level than nowadays. We had some come in on trucks with 25k miles and they were plugged up solid. It's gotten better, but it's still an awful tech. A very simple fix could be a 5th injector like they used to use for cold starts, and have it spray intermittently thru the intake at start up or something. Could easily run a timer in the car to prevent premature shut off while it's cycling. Just a thought? Lol

Another school day for me, very detailed description, great product knowledge and clear fault finding process, thanks for sharing.

Unless your PCV system is rubbish and slurps crankcase oil. That mixed with the EGR carbon particles can do a number on the intake valves of port injection. Maybe we should go electric?

Direct injection is superior.

It's almost as if the car industry is dead set on killing themselves with a thousand cuts

GDI created walnut blasting

The main problem is the oil vapor from the engine breather, mixing with exhaust particles from the egr, blocks up the intake. If manufacturers or ourselves fit oil catch cans in the breather before the intake. Its stops the build up greatly. Its the best all round solution to that whole problem from an environmental point of view. The best solution from a performance and longevity point of view, is no emissions stuff on your vehicle. Take your pick

Much as this ^ is a right 'mare, try working on on-the-cusp Hondas... post carb, pre obd2..... people rave about those as being fantastic - to me, they are absolute balls of garbage regardless of how "reliable" they are perceived to be... yep, I was working on one today.... anyway, rant over, carry on with the bimmermotor.. :-) Oh, and subbed, 'cos yer good. :-)
