Blue Devil Head Gasket Sealer fixed my E46 BMW 325ci Engine - 5000 MILE TEST

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ม.ค. 2024
- My BMW was running rough, losing coolant, giving off white smoke, and giving me misfire codes. I thought I had to get a new engine for sure. Instead, I tried Blue Devil pour-n-go head gasket sealer, and it worked. Don't let a blown head gasket end your car.
Follow along as I diagnose the problem, do a compression check, summon the blue devil, publicly humiliate myself, and confirm the results. Over 5000 miles later, this car is running strong without issue! I still don't know if I had a cracked head, a warped head, or just a crack in the head gasket, but the Blue Devil sealed the leak and I am happy.
Remember to check and follow the specific instructions provided by BlueDevil for the proper application of their head gasket sealer. It's also important to note that while these products may provide temporary solutions for certain issues, a more permanent fix often involves proper mechanical repairs. Always consult with a professional mechanic for advice on the best course of action for your specific situation.

So not follow this guys example. You shouldnt pull the plug because how is the sealant going to have the pressure to seal any cracks in that hole if he just has it open to the environment and dont get me started in opening the rad cap while hot.
Hello genius! Congratulations on that work, although with some mishaps, but it worked! I'm about to do the same thing on a 2008 x3 that is blowing smoke and I discovered that blue coolant is clearly visible in the hole of spark plug 4, the other spark plugs come out dry, is it necessary to remove the thermostat? And if I take it out, how do I deal with the holes that join the water pump? I'm sorry for asking so much but I'm researching elsewhere and I can't find any information. I thank you for your informative video and when you can, please answer my questions? thank you
My e46 thermostat is built into the housing, it cannot be removed separately. I am guessing your engine isn't much different from mine.
Do i need to drain the coolant after adding the bluedevil sealer to repair the head gasket or i will just continue driving the car with the bluedevil inside?
and also, did you remove the thermostat
I could not remove thermostat on my car, but it is suggested to do so if you can.
Omg ‼️ I hope you are ok after that BOOMM ‼️ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I have to try this blue devil today and see what's the result wish me luck guys 🙏🏻 😅 thanks for the video I guess we learned the lesson I'll keep you posted with the result on my car ✌🏻
Good luck!!!
all lies
@@marcioramos2632really bro? This is how you act in real life?
@@robdude1969 All lies because @redlinewanted said " ill keep you posted with the result" but we didnt get a reply for 2 months now so...Get it now?Chill my boy.
@@marcioramos2632oh brother. Thanks for responding, Cuz mine is still running strong!!
Didn't Blue Devil advise you not to pour into the reservoir? Did you had to drain it out first or? Thanks.
I could only put it in the tank. I couldn’t pull thermostat either. Still running strong!
My engine is getting water from somewhere I haven't seen steam or smoke coming out the exhaust pipe but I can berly notice some unstable idle by the way the gauge nidle stay like shaking at times will you recommend me to used blue devil
you can look for bubbles in the coolant tank if you open at startup BEFORE it heats up... (did you see my silly hot peek?) if the coolant is bubbling, you are getting pressure from somewhere.
Question yes my is a 330ci you know 3.0 do you have to pour the entire bottle ?
I did.
did you floor it? did it go into limp mode?
No limp mode. Just normal car now.
Do you not read? The cooling system is under pressure whenever its hot, regardless of the head gasket situation.
I'm hoping you got a good laugh out of it.
@@robdude1969 I'm hoping you didnt get burnt, and maybe you taught people what not to do. Take care man.
True-blue needs to get laid 😅
@@TrueBlueEG8 yeah, I kept it in to teach a little at my own physical comedy expense.
@@robdude1969 Fair play, and good luck to you in the future.
Just did this tdy hopefully it work's 🤞🤞
Keep us posted! 🤞🏻
so
How's it holding up?
Held up for a month then sold the car so 🤷♂️😅
Dude you were just describing how last time it had pressure in it?????? As you were undoing cap:)?
Ah, you watched the fun part! 🤣🥺🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️
All these morons are still criticizing and they have nothing better to do
For a 6cyl.....you used the whole bottle?
yup. I did.
What caused this in the first place... a bad water pump, leaking radiator, bad thermostat etc. ???
The e46 is notorious for having issues with overheating. If any part of the cooling system fails from a leaking o-ring or a crack in the plastic, coolant levels may drop and engine temps can climb above normal. If you don't let the engine cool, the head may warp slightly or even crack. The coolant channels are very close to the cylinders and the gap formed by a failure can let coolant and exhaust mix. Telltale signs are rough starts, white smoke from moisture, smell of burning coolant. Check Engine light may come on and a OBD2 reader will give you misfire codes.
Is it still working
yup!
this f cracked me up. love this lol.
leave the bloopers in....
Bro I have a e46 would u b willing to help me
Ya gotta dive in head-first at some point my dude. The directions on the bottle, this vid and your acumen says you got this. Now go!
I guess that’s why it says LEAVE CAP OM!
😂
Just about to do this to my '94 E34 525i so wish me luck! lol Oh, the cap should remain on as it needs pressure to push the Blue Devil through the small crack(s). Removing the plug at the source is good though.
Good luck! Reply with your results!! Oh, wait til it’s cool to take the cap off. 🤪
@@robdude1969 Yes, all done and I'll see how it turns out tomorrow barring heavy rain. Fingers 🤞
@@robdude1969 Well, this morning I removed the #3 spark plug which is where the leak was and it was dry! Did a test run before draining, flushing, and refilling with coolant although I did change the oil, and she runs great. So it seems to have worked! When the rain passes here in So. Cal. I'll flush it out, reinstall the thermostat, and refill with new coolant. Overall, a successful process! Thanks for your tutorial
@@eaglerider94 congrats! We’re both Runnin with the Devil!
Wait OP did you remove thermostat???
You’re killing me! You took the cap off to see if there’s pressure when you have a relief valve right next to it! You open the valve ya dingaling! If you want to do a what not to do that’s cool but you could have easily given yourself 2nd or 3rd degree burns there. I was shocked there wasn’t a string of cursing when it popped. If you ever HAVE to open a hot radiator cap rig up some kind of a long pole and a pipe wrench or something and have a heavy blanket over the top of it.
Killin you!? I had to clean that mess up! Yeah. Total fail. But too exciting not to share. An Easter egg for those who watched. Cheers!
Can you do an update 😢
It’s running strong after over 5000 miles with no issues. Good luck with yours!
Good job did u take the thermost out
Thanks bro. I'm going to do my head gasket next week the same way you did and also don't let all these negative comments get to you. Most of these people are unhappy in their life and they have to have an outlet for all their frustrations so they take it out on people like you on TH-cam
@@TheyCallMeJTK Let us know how it goes. Honestly, If your car is on it's last breath, this may well be a great solution. I have not had any problems yet! Still running strong. I have no shame in my game... just sharing for those who glean a spark from my shared experience.
I did this on a 2007 Mercedes Gl450 it was my last option. It was getting a little oil in the coolant system, no blown head gasket or low coolant. I replaced the typical which was the oil cooler, cooler gasket, oil housing gasket and a new radiator incase it was the transmission cooler built in the radiator. But still oil in the coolant, or maybe I over exaggerated and just needed to remove the reservoir and flush it out. But I used the new pour and go 2x sealing power hopefully it works 😳
Did it fix it
I have driven over 5000 miles on this car since then and it's running strong!
12:31 😂😅🤣🥵
The money shot!
You do not supposed to take the top off with a hot engine that that guy don't know what he's doing
Glad you are helping teach that good advice.
Glad you are helping teach that good advice.
