Helpful tip when pulling the fan shroud out. The right side clip has a hinge that folds clip in so you can pull out easier (2013 35i twin turbo)
BraaapAllDay thank you for the tip👍🏻 and thank you for watching!
Is there a gasket I need to get for this?
Thank you for the video!!. By the way do you know if by any chance this might be why my cars RPM bounces while idling?
Hector Idarza If the idle is surging or bouncing I would look into vacuum leaks. This will make the fan run on super high speed even when the engine is cold.
Is the coolent spilling around is not bad for the hoses around?
No
Was it running hot
Is this the only way to drain the coolant? seems very messy?
YES, you can actually loosen a lower hose under the car first. Let the coolant drain, so that when you start removing hose connections to the eThermostat housing...you'll have less mess.
I just finished this job and those 2 bolts were an absolute nightmare for me
I couldn't get the tool into the holes holding the thermostat to the engine tried for 2 hours
Is it the same for the 2014?
It should be
THANKS FOR TEACHING YOU ARE AWESOME.
Hai Huynh thank you!
Thank you that help slot.
What would happen without draining coolant? It is less messy with empty coolant reservoir, but I guess we can replace thermostat without draining the whole reservoir if we can handle reasonable amount of remaining coolant in those four pipes. Thanks for the nice instructional video by the way.
JohnJHPark If you drain it or drain the coolant in the reservoir is definitely less likely to spill everywhere. Changing the thermostat only is not going to drain the whole system so you won’t lose that much coolant. If you don’t drain it the worst will happen is you’ll create a little bit of a mess.
@@HowtoAutomotive I've just ordered a new thermostat, and I'll do the replacement by myself. Much more confident after watching your video and this reply. Thanks again!

Glad to help!
Is it t30 or t27 😅
Thanks for the video!
Brandon Duke thank you for watching!
well done!
Thank you!
How much will you charge to do a job like this
The labor on that job is 1.50 hours. The shops labor rate here is 95 an hour. If you go to the dealer you expect to pay 125 an hour. And the Parts around 60 to 100 bucks depending on markup. + coolant .
Dealer is now replacing these for free for 10 years 100k miles :)
I tried to get this done. but its VIN based according to BMW. SMH
Brandon Bosserman really????
Brandon Wright does this apply to the 2013 328i f30
thanks friend.
Thank you for watching and writing!
So pissed and upset i followed your steps, which get cut of when it comes to removing the thermostat. I tried opening with T30 that screw broke. Now what???
Armaan khan did u get it fixed ?
Mohit Suman yes I will have to tow it to dealer.. this ain't easy job if screws are rusted.
