Hands down best video to learn how to replace a thermostat. No shaky cameras, no dumb ass intro, no side chatting, just straight down to business. Step-by-step guidance was perfect. I watched this video 1 time and learned exactly what to do. I came back to reference a few parts, but it was very well done! Thank you. Took me less than an hour to complete.
Thank you for posting the video, your steps are very clear and helpful, i changed the thermostat in my daughters 2013 bmw with no problems following your steps, thank for taking the time, of all the videos i watched yours is the the most clear and comprehensive and easy to follow too.
thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, all the steps are really clear. I'm gonna be doing this tomorrow on a 2014 with exactly the same engine, kudos
@@honestscentz9300 Actually I decided to replace it because the radiator fan failed (just didnt work anymore) and I was having a hard time bleeding the air out of the system, so I thought it was time for the the thermostat too. As to the mileage , it only had 50k . And letting everybody know at 40k miles the alternator had failed and oil leak from the engine oil cooler gaskets too(the one right next to the oil filter) !! Funny thing I have an X3 with exactly same engine and power train with 120k miles and no fails at all,LOL
My x1 is on 3rd thermostat at 33k. Thermostat open circuit on code. This bleeding procedure doesnt work on 2014 x1 28i. I just run engine. There are several tricks to this job not mentioned here.
Seriously the way to be done. Entire cooling system should be all replaced at the same time. Hoses, plastic flange, coolant, thermostat. What a mess here I'd be pissed if they left a mess without cleaning it up.
Thanks you so much! I just changed my car cooling, I should replace the thermostat with cooling at the same time but too late now. Sir could u please send me the link to buy the thermostat. Thank u very much again. Love your video.. very clear! .
You won't be able to drain it below the thermostat housing. Draining the radiator will only reduce the amount of coolant that will come out when you release the thermostat

SUPER great video. Thanks for posting. Good job. Helped me ALOT.
Draining the coolant by removing the lower hose from the auxiliary radiator will greatly reduce the mess of coolant from the thermostat hoses.

I plan on replacing mine. What are the specific tool needed I want to be prepared. Thank you so much for saving me. God bless you for this.
Best video out here !!

Well made video.
Awesome , Thank's
Thanks a lot...this is helpful
nice now to go buy the thermostat and coolant
is this the same procedure for a 2015 320i xdrive?
Do I need to remove the lower plastic cover under the engine to do this job?
No, you don't
What happens if I ran the engine while bleeding , could that cause it to not bleed properly and overheat?
Well to run that procedure it can only be in accessory mode the engine can’t be on.
Yea I think I’m gonna pay someone to do this lol
HAHAHA SAME
Same
Is it absolutely necessary to drain ALL coolant before beginning this?
no it’s not but it saves a bit of the mess when you pull the thermostat out
@@stellarmotors thank you. So how many litres would I drain just to drop it below the level of the thermostat assembly?
You won't be able to drain it below the thermostat housing. Draining the radiator will only reduce the amount of coolant that will come out when you release the thermostat
