Worst part abt east coast is working on cars in the winter outside or in a non heated garage lmao keep up the good content man looking forward to be getting my 540i soon hopefully ur vids will be helpful
It be freezing outside🥶 Thank you!
Yeah I have that same year 2000 bmw 540i m sport too. I'm over the road trucking, so when I get back I to get a new battery.
Nice! I just started my trucking journey.
Hi bro nice video! ✌ anyways, i'm having 535i in a week. and just wondering how fast does the fuel goes with yours? since mine is a bit smaller engine but its not gonna make a lot of difference. appreciate your answer.
Diesel knock is Vanos 100%. I've dealt with it the entire time I've had my car no major hinderance at all besides the sound and some low end power loss.
Ok nice. Glad its not something major😅 Thanks Mystic🙋🏻♂️
Timing chain tensioner
@A1brian I’m looking for my first manual car any car recommendations
You could get a BMW 540i 6 speed. E46 manual. E36 manual.
Probably the Vanos is causing that rattling sound.
I don’t think it’s the timing chain guides, but it could be the timing chain tensioner.
There’s a new one out, which is a bit longer than the older version.
I would also suggest to switch to a 80C Thermostat, instead of that OEM 105C.
I appreciate you! I think its the vanos too. I have heard of the 80C thermostat. These cars run hot😂
@@A1Brian sure thing:)
Yeah those M62TU’s are running way to hot:D
Take a look at this video:
th-cam.com/video/qK0JjuCXHJA/w-d-xo.html
This guy is putting a 80C Thermostat in that engine.
Rattle noise should also be reduced, because the oil is not getting too thin.
Will do! I wanted to try a different oil too. To see if it would help.
191k that is bad ass i have one with 143k and im terrified of the timing chain tick i have the same noise but a little less
Im going to try to put thicker oil, see if it helps. Some people said it helped them with the rattle.
I had the same noise when I was using 0w40 oil, switched to 5w30 and it went away
I put 10w40 and its better now
Was your timing chain guide ever changed ??
Yea at 160k it was changed
The knock it’s the vanos knock shouldn’t be anything to critical
Thanks bro🙋🏻♂️
Have you done your timing chain guides? Hoping my goes strong to 200k. People tell me it is vanos rattle..
The timing chain guides were done when i bought the car at 165k miles. Yea im going more towards vanos rattle too.
@@A1Brian I got 125k on mine but as far as I know they haven't been done. Not ready to DIY that myself and not worth paying what shops charge.
Yea its a big job. I wouldnt do it myself either. What are the shops charging you?
@@A1Brian I haven't bothered to get an estimate yet but fellow M62 owners have told me it is in the thousand(s).
Yea sounds about right. There are a few who will do it for $1,000 or $1,500
How did this battery hold up? Still going strong?
Still going strong💪🏽
Did you have to reprogram the battery after you changed it??
No i didnt have too
@@A1Brian okay thanks dude. What year is your 540i if you don’t mind me asking
No problem. Its a 2000 sport package
@@A1Brian nice, yours is clean as hell.. I just picked up a 01 that needs a new battery. But I’m not sure if that specific year would have to be reprogrammed
Thanks bro🙋🏻♂️I dont think you have to program it. I say that because my sister has the 01 525it wagon. We changed the battery and it didnt need to be programmed.
Does the 540i have an ibs??
Whats ibs?
Intelligent batter senser I believe
I have no clue. Does it have to do with the battery? Ive changed it twice without issues.
@@A1Brian another question. Can the ews cause crank n no start and cutting fuel pump power
