Can you please confirm whether the coolant temperature sensor on the coolant manifold (the long tube) is for ECM (blue connector), while the sensor on the thermostat housing is for the coolant temp gauge on the dashboard?
@@wewrench thanks, actually I just found it out experimentally, my sensors were plugged the wrong way around which caused a false gauge reading (and wrong DME info). Blue connector (DME) goes to coolant manifold.
Typical of BMW to recommend a tool that is basically unobtainable. BMW used to have a tool referred by many as the Iron Maiden. It basically sat on top of the cylinder head and allowed you to put pressure on all of the rockers to free up the camshaft. Impossible to obtain today and only real way to get it is by making. Gosh I hate BMWs 😑
Working by yourself is blissful and difficult.
A lot of good information here man. Good stuff!
Thank you! Yes and both accounts!
Nice!
Thank you for your support!
Great content, subbed and liked

@@bgtps4625 Got it! I wanted to be absolutely sure before I told you anything. Was going to dig through some wiring diagrams tonight
I don't think it will get to a 1 yon weight, maybe 700 kg or a bit more.
Light as possible hopefully

You can get them out without that
@@wewrench definitely a possibility with some cursing 😂
No LS swap?
Not this time! Lol
