When bleeding the cooling system, it's also a good idea to have a battery charger plugged in as this process does consume a lot of the batterys power... last time I did this, it completely killed my battery so yeah just a heads up for anyone doing this. Great vid nonetheless !
Good idea! Thanks!
Where can you buy one at??
@@tirrell2267 google what you want to buy, and it comes up
I’m about to go do this... can I have it connected to my second car battery while doing this ? Thanks
It just happen to me today had to replace the batter
Outstanding editing. Straight to the point and thorough at the same time. Keep the video up on this car cuz I wanna know how to do everything on my e92!!!
Thank you man! I appreciate it
Hey JD,
You're killing it with the videos. I'd love to see a video on how to swap out the differential fluid and transmission fluid. There's loads of high mileage e9x's out there and most haven't done this. You're videos are always so clear and easy to follow.
I'm from outside Boston and would be happy to volunteer my car, tools, and fluid if you want to do a video.
Cheers.
That's a great idea, and thank you for your generous offer!
I just now bought a 07' 328i coupe, manual w/57k on od, came without any service history. Thanks for providing excellent vid about my machine and one of the first things I must do to it. thumbs uuuuuuup.
Awesome car!! Cherish that beauty! I’m glad you enjoyed the video - happy motoring.
I’m considering buying the exact same one. How’s the maintenance going? Is it smart to buy it when I’m in college? I’ll be doing diy strictly
Note that the blue BMW coolant is G-48 spec, made by companies such as Zerex, and can be purchased from other than the dealer. The G-05 shown in the video is old Mercedes-spec, now superceded, from when cars had cast iron engine blocks.
Dude your video was a lifesaver today. I noticed a leak coming from my OFHG and ended up changing that out today. Performed the oil change, and realized I also needed to bleed the coolant since I removed the hose to get to the OFHG front bolt. Your video was the easiest to follow, and it made it super easy to tackle. I'm waiting for the last of the coolant to drain and luckily like yours it's pretty clear. Going to run a couple gallons of distilled water just to be safe. Thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear my video was helpful to you.
Should do a video on how to change the transmission fluid?
Will do!
what is that entertainment unit you have there ?
Super helpful! Especially the bleeding process - on that note, just to confirm; bleeder screw is all the way tight, ignition on (car off), heat on low, press gas pedal for 10 seconds, then wait 12~ minutes with the car ignition still on? Thanks!
Dude every time I watch you jack up your car at that crazy height i begin praying for it not to slip off, and I'm not even religious. Great video!!! I just got my low coolant warning, wondering if I should do a coolant flush as well or just pour in some coolant.
Yes... that jack really wasn't too safe. I have since upgraded to a two post lift. I recommend flushing, but if you're in a hurry then don't worry about it.
@@JDCarsChannel It looked great to me! What kind of scissor jacks were those? I'm looking for an easy way to lift an E93 from the differential without cracking the housing... to get it on jack stands.
your car is so nice bro. keep up the good work
Thanks man!
hello, JD cars i have a 2011 bmw 323 and i must say your videos really help me out alot,,thank u and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I didn't know that you can use scissor jack in this way. Awesome video!
Thanks for the tip on moving the power steering hoses. I got stumped trying to replace that hose today. It failed when my oil filter housing and cooler gaskets failed.
Glad you found the video helpful!
Is just 1 gallon of antifreeze + distilled water to the recommended capacity good enough? Or do you need to add some more antifreeze instead of the water? Awesome vid btw
That would depend on your climate, but you should be fine with what you described. If it is cold in your climate use a little more antifreeze, but if it is warm a little more water is ok.
Good job! Matches the procedure in Bentley repair manual.
Chrisfix long lost brother ahah.
Hahahah
I LOVE THE LOOK OF YOUR CAR
Thank you!
When draining shouldn't you also put heater on to allow it to drain that part of the circuit as well ? And when filling with heater on to reach the full system I guess you should also use the bleed screw and have reservoir open to allow air to escape, while keeping the reservoir topped up. Having bleedscrew closed and cap on doesn't allow any air to escape so your heater cycle will only distribute air elsewhere but not remove it.
Good tips!
Thanks ! Wasn't meant to be a know-it-all (not even sure what I stated is 100% complete or accurate), but I was just myself in a big Inspection II DIY and just read a lot of forum posts on flushing so thought to share :-)
So you have to close bleed screw and cap open?
@@zoggles89 Am no expert, but I would say yes, then run idle with heater on till engine is warm and thermostat opens up (so all cooling channels are activated), stop engine, use bleed screws to let air out, top up the reservoir. Only thing I'm not sure about anymore (it's been a while) is whether the fluid level can change when it gets hot (like expanding a bit) which needs to be taken into account. The actual measurement (making sure the fluid is between the marks) is done with cold fluid (or at least not super hot).
Love those rims
Thanks!
JD Cars u should give them to me as a gift, lol
soniccash1up hahaha good one
Great Video, super helpful. N52 for the win
Thanks brotha! Hell yeah hahaha N52 is a beast.
awesome video, but did that 12 min. drain the battery?
Awesome video man. Never a bad one. If you ever get around to changing your brake pads, that'd be awesome to see as well. Lol
Thank you! My brakes are pretty strong right now...but when the pads go I will make a video for sure
I like this one way better than the F30
I miss that car a lot
Thank you for the video ! If I want to change the coolant color is this enought to drain all of the old coolant in order not to mix it with the new one ?
Hello, so you don't need to start the car for the bleed process? Just remove the bleed cap and the cap for change the coolant, close it and do that process?
Correct. For these newer cars with electronic water pumps, you don't need to start the engine. Just follow the bleed procedure with the ignition button, gas pedal, and climate control.
I'm tempted to change all of the fluids in my car. I'm kind of in the same situation where I don't know the maintenance history. But told it was done by the previous owner.
TGSN _ do it. Better now than later
Yup I would recommend doing it
Good video. So you don't actually have bleed screw open when it's doing the bleed?
this was a v good video. Thanks for the how to!
Glad to help!
Thanks for this video man :)
Thanks for watching!
Nice looking car bro ❤👍
Thanks man!
Great video. Thank you for your help
Glad to help!
Great video
lucky bastard has the standard transmission
Yup haha
Ia there a difference when changing auto and manual e90 coolant flushes or are they the same?
Great video. Thanks very much.
I changed mine but car engine gets hot. What could be the problem?
Glad it was helpful! Make sure you've thoroughly bled air from the system. It sounds like you still have some air which is causing the engine to get hot
Nailed it. Thanks
Do I need to order a coolant hose just in case it breaks while flushing out old coolant???
No! Many people say you need to, but only if you really think you'll need it. Ex: if your hoses are very old and at risk of cracking. Otherwise, I recommend holding off until you need it, and you can find locally at NAPA or other stores.
USE ONLY BMW BLUE COOLANT. ITS ONLY $25. Do it the right way people. Overtime non OE fluid can degrade the rubber hoses.
Matt Crosby same stuff
That’s why u just look for coolants that are compatible, they make green coolants that are free from the damaging chemicals
BMW blue coolant is G-48.
I guess temp gauge isn't a watertight procedure to confirm there are no air pockets anymore. Air can be trapped away from the temperature sensor creating a local pocket of extreme heat resulting in a damage. This local heat does not necessarily show on the temp gauge
Rombbb there’s no temp gauge on the E90, I’m guessing the pump running without the engine for 12 minutes should send air all the way to the bleed screw
@@robbieshaft should the bleed screw left open when bleeding? The reason I asked is because, in the video the bleeder screw is closed tight
@@moopow3 yes most definitely have the screw opened as the system is sealed otherwise and the air will just keep recirculating
Privacy policy a reason for not disclosing the maintenance records??? Never heard of such a thing. Especially from a dealer. Ask for a Carfax!!!!! Something is not right with that lame excuse!!!
Michael Patrick Moore it’s true I called the dealer where my car had its maintenance and they couldn’t print service records unless the old owner came with me, they only told me what was done
Why do your fans turn on when the engine is off? Mine don't work unless the engine is running.e82 128i
Those are my headlight cooling fans!
I just did this procedure due I got a break hose and had to replace it.
Everything works great, I heard the sound of the “washing machine” but after this my AC is not blowing any air.
Is this related to the coolant flush?
That's very strange... I don't know how that could be related to the coolant flush.
How the water is going to circulate with engine off,thermostat is shut close?!.
The car has a electric water pump
Great video, man.
So, just to be sure... When you seal off everything, you put the ignition on car is not running, 10 sec pedal rule and 12 minutes of waiting? Correct???
And what happens if I start the car instead of letting it sit just on ignition?
Mine is 318i year 2008. Is this same process applied to my car?
Correct! You got it!
Please can you show us how to fix that annoying climate control sticking out like that
So the cooling system capacity is just 2 Gal? I've heard something like 10.5L. can you explain?
The capacity may be 10.5L, but during this change you are unable to completely purge the system of fluid without pressurizing it with air.
thanks for the video, do you plan on doing one for the transmission or differential
Maybe... I'm not sure because BMW claims they are lifetime fluids, but they should probably be changed.
Thank you!
Glad to help!
Trying to figure out why mine has green coolant, its low and i need to add but every shop tells me i need to change to blue. I might just change it out myself.
Most important is that the coolant is BMW approved
If you empty the radiator only, do you still need to bleed?
Do you need to actually put it on 4 jack stands, isnt it easier just to just lift the front?
@Explore Flight Simulator nicee hope it goes well
think it was just for the video, but the extra room helps when putting the underhood back on
Where can I buy those 2 black stands and tool with the blue cord attached ?
Do you know how much fluid is retained in the system after draining? Reason I ask is that when you flush with water, then fill with 50/50 the net result is something less than 50/50. So if for example, you knew 1L was trapped in the system, you would first add 1L of 100% coolant, and THEN fill with a 50/50 mix.
I'm not entirely sure, but you are correct. There is still some fluid in the system.
There's a drain plug on the side of the block, but you only need to open that if your coolant is really old and in desperate need of a flush.
JD Cars any idea how much is left in system? half gallon? I emptied from the plug, but i didn’t bother with the hose. I added a full bottle of coolant and about half a gallon of water. I’m assuming that’s fine??
How much came out from the radiator? Most from the radiator?
Hi, great video man. I just wana know that if i dont know the service history and the coolant level is on 'min' at the moment so can i just top it off or its best to do the bleeding procedure? Don't get much time to take it to a shop but if its recommended to bleed then i shall try and take it.
Thanks from India !
You can top it off for the time being, but it sounds like you should check out your lines and radiator - also consider doing a flush.
@@JDCarsChannel i took it to a shop and they flushed and refilled 1.5L of coolant with remaining distilled water. The level was at max but after driving 200 kms now level is min. Also i got a code 2E83 which is related to electric coolant pump. Do you think my pump is bad or i just need to top it up again? Thanks!
Thank you
Glad to help!
Isn't the service history stored on the onboard computer? I just bought a 2008 E93 and it has no Service History logs, I was advised it was all electronically stored.
It is electronically stored.
Thanks!
Glad to help!
In another video I saw they had to remove a big metal plate(something to do with the suspension) before removing the belly panel. Did you do that before hand ?
You may have to remove a skid plate, but in this case I didn't have to remove one
Hey I can’t get the hose off to drain out the old coolant. Is it okay to just drain the old coolant out of the radiator and then fill it up, or do you recommend both draining points? Also is there another way I can flush it out of the engine using a different hose maybe?
I recommend both draining points because the radiator only holds about half of the coolant.
You think u can do a valve cover gasket one?
Possibly!
My coolant float stick is broken is there any other way to tell if coolant is full?
Tee Rich yea get a new reservoir with a float stick
Same procedure to Diesel m57 ?
My coolant is probably going to be super dirty. Do you need to run the car with the distilled water or just go through the bleeding process? Also, Is the hose you undid attached to the expansion tank? I have an E83 which has a drain plug built into the tank.
If your coolant system is really dirty you just run it with water to flush and repeat the process, then bleed with coolant. Yes- the main coolant hose.
what is the title of the backsound
Does anyone know the void volume of coolant that doesn't drain from the engine? For example, if there is 3L of void volume, once flushed with distilled water, you would want to add 3L of 100% coolant, and then 7.5L (or to filled) of 50/50 blend so the entire system is 50%. Otherwise, if you only add 50% you'll end up being below 50% with the residual 3L of water diluting.
Is this the same process for a bmw 330i serie 3??
Do I tighten the bleed screw back before the bleeding process or do I leave it kind loose
I usually leave it a bit loose
Whats up, what are those jack stands you have called ? The ones that lifted up the car , and also what is your stereo called ?
The jack was a custom jack we made, but no longer recommend. The stereo is an Eonon-- we have a couple videos about it!
Where is the center jack point? Never seen that before
Right near the oil drain bolt door.
Stupid question but would not having the bleeding cap on and you drive your car would that cause a leak? I ask because I noticed a little hole inside my coolant tank when I add fluid. I have to keep adding fluid every week and after seeing your video I'm 90% I know what's wrong now.
No, but over-tightening the bleeder cap can cause cracks and leaking.
This will cause a leak! you need the bleeding cap on!
@BLAZE45
Replace your coolant tank, the cooling system is supposed to be a sealed circuit, if air gets in it could cause an air lock too
Awesome 👍😎👍
Thanks ✌️
Do you have a link for the large jacks that you used withe the drill to lift the car
I no longer recommend using that style jack
Ima have to do this but the only problem i may have is lifting up the car
So I have a question about he coolant. So you don’t have to use the bmw coolant like it doesn’t matter?
They will always recommend their products, but there are other products which are verified for use with BMWs.
Very informative! Love the interior - is that carbon fiber trim stock?
Thank you! I wrapped the trim with carbon fiber vinyl!
1 gallon of coolant and 1 gallon of water is enough to fill it back?
Usually yes
3:08 Hahaha oh man your reaction to that!
Hahahaha
u used green coolant
Is this the same procedure for the e92 ?This doesn't look easy 😖
Yes, the procedure should be the same
Ah bro i don’t got half those tools you got to do that ... how tf . I just got a new expansion tank because mine has a broken seal due to a few pullies?? Idk man
Thanks like for you
Thank you
hey jd cars on the process of draining is where i would use my new antifreeze is that correct i saw you using the destilated water but i could used the bmw antifreeze right?
Correct
JD Cars thank you my friend good video and good explanation
Hello! Why do you use ZEREX G-05 and not BMW oem coolant? Is it ok?
I simply could not find BMW oem coolant locally...
how much water did you use?
Great videos. Where did you get that large scissor jack? I think I like it better than my floor jack.
Got it on amazon!
What kind of scissor jack is that?
A custom made jack that we can no longer endorse
I need to change the brake fluid on my f30. Is it the same as the e90? Because I can use a tutorial lol
I believe it is a similar process
or how much water did you have left over from gallon?
I couldn't tell you... just be sure to measure carefully.
JD OVER JB ANYDAY 🤞
Hahahah thanks bro
JD Cars is great!
Where did you purchase your headlights? Halos are serious!!
Unfortunately these headlights were discontinued :(
@@JDCarsChannel Appreciate the update!
How do you know if you need to replace your coolant
If the fluid is dark murky color then it needs replacing.
Where can I purchase that jack that you had the impact driver on?
That's a custom made jack... I created a video on how to build it.
JD Cars thx
Does anyone know which fluid comes original from the factory?
Its called BMW Anti-freeze. I purchased it from the bmw workshop directly at the MRP price!
G48 spec does not have to be labeled bmw. Zerex makes it maybe others just a make sure G48 spec
What scissor jack is that you are using?
It's a 30" high lift scissor jack
That's a game changer! Where did you get it from?
How will the air escape if you closed the cap ?
The bleeder screw
Daniel A 🙄🙄🙄
Cap closing bleeder screw closing. How is air come out?
@3:10 That's what she said.
💓
No service history I would have walk out.
Don't you need the actual bmw coolant?
how much miles
It has 180k
