[DIY] EASIEST WAY To Install Steel Braided Brake Hoses on a BMW 3 Series [E90, E91, E92]
The intermediate rear brake lines are almost impossible to get off without removing the subframe. I show in this video one method of replacing them BUT [DISCLAIMER] you must be EXTREMELY CAREFUL to not damage the nut fittings otherwise you will be replacing the whole brake line. You do not want to weaken the brake line itself because the enamel coating rusts to the fitting and its nearly impossible to remove without damaging the brake line.

    • @buildanddrive

      Make sure you change your oil. Once the engine is sludged you'll loose oil pressure to your timing chain tensioner and if that gets clogged your chain will get loose, the guides will wear down and maybe skip a tooth /smash a valve

    Once you have wear, especially from the side of the piston hitting cylinder wall. None of this is going to work. Maybe they did losen the piston rings, but remember the wall has wear and its not going to seal. My question is, whats the best thing for prevention. Just frequent oil changes or every 10k soak your rings or do a flush?

    • @buildanddrive
      @buildanddrive 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, your cylinder walls will have some wear and nothing is going to work to fix that. But the rings will have even more wear out of spec. I measured this in a few of my rebuild videos. I would change your oil every 8k to 10k kilometers. Don't put any of this snake oil on your engine.

    First😊 Just did this a few days ago. Still have the mid ones to go as I’m waiting for some crowfoot bits to arrive from amazon. As I was replacing pads and discs the callipers came off. First I disconnected the brake hose from the copper lines first and removed the calipers with the original line attached. Easy to remove from the calipers ones off the car and the easy to install the Goodridge braided line.

    Just out of curiosity, would you know what the rear top thread diameter is on the bushes? I have bought new rear shock absorbers, however when looking online it appears to have contradictory diameter thread sizes, one being 10mm and the other 12mm according to powerflex. Hope that makes sense. According to the powerflex website: For standard shock absorbers and performance shock absorber with a 10mm thread use PFR5-416. PFR5-416-12 fits performance shock absorber which has 12mm thread. Bush Size: 10mm

    I have 2005 BMW 325 with N52B25, it has oil consumption 1l/100km (260000km in a meter), so I made complete engine overhaul, what I found was minor oil leaks and piston rings was clearly worn out of specs (and pistons was old desing). I insert new desing pistons with new rings (standard size, no honing to good cylinders), new bearings, seals etc. After overhaul oil consumption now is 1l/2300km (no leaks). That's still not so good but I can live with it, BMW spec to oil consumption to this engine is 0,7l/1000km. I use 5W40 oil

    • @buildanddrive
      @buildanddrive 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for sharing. I also rebuilt my engine but used old piston design but new rings and seals etc. my consumption was at best 1L/1500km with 5w40. These engines just have a poor design.

      I started designing something that would screw into the oil drain of the oil pan, but there are so many hoses and pipes to sort out and there's no room in the engine bay for the catch can. It requires further modification to move the power steering reservoir and create a mount. I just don't have the time.

    Hey. I've got a M54B25 engine, and use 5w40 ravenol and am burning 800-1200ML to 1000km. The car smokes a lot when hot (valve seals and piston rings no doubt) Im thinking about Castrol 5w50, what do you think? During summer, i get 34+ temperatures and in the winter, it goes like -3 most of the time at maximum, othervise little above 0 (all temps in celsius) Do you think the 5w50 is a good idea? I run the car quite passionately, so it burrnssss

      Winter run a 5w30 and summer run a 5w40. You mind as well try and protect the engine rather than choking it with a thicker oil... I didn't see much improvement on my oil consumption. The thicker oil actually reduced it a bit but not enough to warrant using it all the time.

New tie rods inner and outter, passanger cv axle, control arms and thrust arms. Car feels like it's not connected to the road at all. It dosen't have servo or electronic power steering. I thought if the power steering was broken then it would be hard to turn. It's either the rack or the steering shaft. When I turn the steering wheel the wheels turn with the steering wheel but I have to put more input into the steering wheel to make the turn. Left or right turns my steering wheel damn near goes to full lock.

      That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you compression tested the engine correctly? Does the car have trouble starting when cold? Follow these instructions, make sure ALL spark plugs are removed when cranking. Test it without and then add a little bit of oil to the cylinders and compare the values. If the same...

      @@buildanddrive I followed your steps from the beginning, I removed all spark plugs, I set the valvetronic to 176 degrees, I did an wet test and the results are a little bit higher, around 105 psi except cyllinder 3 which was still on 80 psi... My car is starting without struggling, only problem is that I have rough idle few seconds, after I cleaned spark plugs, that tough idle disappeared, another thing is that I have cats error on almost every time , is during a little bit after I clean error code to reappear again.Is strange even for me , because I can run pretty fast, the engine revs at the max RPM without struggling, I go even with 200 km/h on highway. Could be possible to be a timing chain problem, valvetronic or a headgasket?I really don't understand, for this compression my car should smoke oil on exhaust like a diesel but mine doesnt smoke ... P.S. I used exact the same Compression tester like yours.

      @@buildanddrive Today I changed the oil with Valvoline Maxlife 5w30 and I used some flush from Liqui Moly to clean the engine maybe piston rings were stuck with carbon , but nothing has changed, the compression is the same like yesterday.

    Can i just refill the coolant without having to go all down that process?

      You can try. It will cause a lot of air pockets though.

    In the handbook of my car, it says to use a 5W-40 Oil ONLY... My 1998 Toyota Celica has covered 236,000 Miles and is fitted with a 1.8 Litre 7A-FE 4 Cylinder DOHC engine ..OK it only produces a paltry 113 BHP ..However, the speed limit on our Motorways here in the UK (Freeways for American viewers) is 112 KM/H ( 70 MPH) and my car does this with comparable ease. My car is burning a litre of oil every 1,000 Kilometers.. Here in the UK a litre of oil costs around £5.60 GBP (5 Litres cost me £28) I drive around 1500 KM a Month ..So let's look at the cost for me. Option one ..... Top up the oil using 5W-40 as and when required 1.5 Litres per month...Total cost £5.60 x 1.5 = £8.40 GBP of oil a month Option two..... Swop the oil and use a 5W-50 oil and RISK the engine blowing up..... Total cost Around £3,000 GBP for an engine rebuild. I WILL SELECT OPTION ONE..... It is a "No brainer" 😁 But thank you for this video anyway.

      It's called the valve cover gasket.

    The M47 engine from year 2000 era was best and simplest lump BMW ever produced in terms of longevity and reliability. Also used in Rover 75 and Land Rover Freelander. These engines easily achieved 500k miles on original chain and still didn't use a SINGLE DROP of oil. I still run one today on 210k miles still going strong and 50mpg ⚠️

      Dang it. Gotta find one of those!!! Didn't k ow about the land Rover using a BMW motor. Was it tuned for torque?

      ​@@buildanddriveyes it was detuned by BMW to 115bhp so it didn't outshine their 3 Series. Disgraceful really, then in 2003 Rover mapped it to a more respectable 131bhp. Independent mappers took it to 155 bhp. BMW had their M47's put out 150 from day 1 using variable vane intake but it backfired on them as broken vanes got injested into many engines. Happy days for Rover 😅
