    Good job Niamh, looks a little chilly out there. That's a pretty huge airbox they put on there.
    Back off! Thomas is mine! I have the same Tattoo...in a more private area...

    wow, you made that look easy. and you did that in a driveway. I'm not much for punctuation or grammar, but if you made another car repair video I would watch it.

    Thank you for this video you made it look pretty easy , it was the only video i found for this engine ,btw why did you change your alternator instead of fixing it ?

    • @TheCowgirlNiamh
      @TheCowgirlNiamh  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're welcome! It's a very easy job. I replaced it because it was quicker to get a reman alternator than waiting on the part to fix it. I ordered the part in case I get stuck again 😉 In my case it was just the bushes were worn so if I had the time to wait it would have been cheaper but the car was due it's road safety test so I didn't have that luxury at the time 👍

    Hi, nice video! What is your voltage on idle with the new alternator? I have a 1999 BMW E46 M43 (Located in South Africa). The car still runs great.
    There aren't a lot of "how to" videos for the BMW E46 M43 on TH-cam - I am glad that i came across your TH-cam channel
    Can you make a video on the following :
    Replacing the sump gasket
    Replacing the manifold gasket
    Replacing the timing chain and tensioner
    Checking for vacuum leaks
    Thanks!

    • @TheCowgirlNiamh

      Thank you! Yes there are not many how tos on this engine. The sump, I wouldn't take that on myself. The subframe has to be removed for access and I don't think I'd be strong enough 😂 The others I will record if they ever need to be done. 👍
