    I was wondering if you have any idea of a scan tool that will work with the Z4 E85? I have been unable to find anything that indicates what scanner will do the SMG hydraulic fluid depressurize function or transmission oil flush. Asking vendors like Foxwell is like asking my wife, they seem to have no clue about the specific capabilities of their devices. Thanks for your help.

    • @MTechGuy
      @MTechGuy 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Like asking the wife 🤣 I used the Schwaben scan tool for my SMG fluid change, which is basically a rebranded Foxwell tool- th-cam.com/video/7CrQXa6CZZM/w-d-xo.html I pretty much just bought it then worked through what it would actually do for the M5 (which was a lot, SMG depressurise, SMG clutch position adaptions/calibration, VANOS bleed etc) Like you say, the info out there wasn’t great/complete. It’s been a really good useful scan tool, for the price it’s worth buying anyhow, if this doesn’t do the SMG depressurising on your Z4, then you’ll be looking at a laptop with ISTA

    Hi Just checking- do you need to remove the vanos pump in order to change the high pressure vanos line, or is there enough room to get the old vanos line out and thread the new one back in with the vanos pump still in situ?

    • @MTechGuy
      @MTechGuy 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Remove the VANOS pump, there might be enough room to slide the hose out but I think you’d struggle. To be honest if you are that deep in, with the oil pan removed you want to remove the VANOS pump and inspect it while you have the chance, just make sure to set the back lash correctly when re-fitting

    Superb video ! That's a really cool (pristine) special Bimmer you have. I own several scan tools, but nothing extreme. I just bought a 2007 BMW 650i with the SMG transmission. The previous owner has had it for 4 years and he told me the trans. has not been serviced during his ownership. I'm not sure my scan tools can do the necessary transmission service functions, so can this hydraulic service be performed without a scan tool ? I know the car hesitates to go into reverse at startup, but I'm also not exactly certain how these cars should shift, so I'm unsure if it has shifting problems. It doesn't act right and shows 133,000 miles on the odometer. Any suggestions?

    • @MTechGuy
      @MTechGuy หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would start by reading the codes. It’s certainly worth starting with checking the hydraulic fluid level and check the relays too. You will need a scan tool like this, to check the level and change the fluid (the accumulator needs to be depressurised) This scan tool was relatively cheap and has been very useful with this car
