[Music]

00:00:17

hello and welcome back to part three of

00:00:19

project X5 we're on the mission to

00:00:21

resolve the blue smoke issue that this

00:00:23

big giant has

00:00:26

in the previous episode we took apart

00:00:28

the top end of the engine and replaced

00:00:30

all 32 valve stem seals that were bad

00:00:33

and not sealing properly now we're

00:00:35

picking up the action after reinstalling

00:00:36

the camshafts and timing the engine

00:00:38

spark plug time

00:00:44

foreign

00:00:46

dirty looking aluminum you know what

00:00:48

that means right that's right time to

00:00:50

fire up my Vixen surface treatments

00:00:52

aquablast 1215 Vapor blasting cabinet

00:00:55

it's been far too long since I used it

00:00:57

last time so I'm really looking forward

00:00:59

to this and you go

00:01:09

I love this thing

00:01:20

one two three

00:01:24

00:01:38

00:01:44

00:02:20

brand new gasket

00:02:22

our beautiful timing cover

00:02:32

here we're going to replace the oil

00:02:33

pressure switch

00:02:35

they can fail in fact that's what failed

00:02:37

on Alpena and the engine lost oil

00:02:40

pressure and it skipped timing so

00:02:42

preventive maintenance here

00:02:49

brand new one that comes with a washer

00:02:54

thank you

00:02:57

don't worry we'll clean all of that once

00:02:59

I reinstall the timing cover

00:03:07

Vanos solenoids we're going to replace

00:03:08

the O-rings and clean them

00:03:14

I've never seen them this bad

00:03:17

that is crazy throttle cleaner

00:03:29

compressed there

00:03:33

we can also use 12 volts to activate

00:03:35

them see how they're clicking

00:03:40

now copious amounts of fogging oil for

00:03:42

men

00:03:48

brand new O-rings

00:04:00

and these two are ready you can repeat

00:04:02

the same with the other two oil up the

00:04:05

lip

00:04:12

now slowly turn the bolts to evenly sit

00:04:14

them in

00:04:21

so look from the other side to see that

00:04:24

the O-ring is seated in the head and I

00:04:27

can see here that it's not so I need to

00:04:29

pull it out a little bit and then do

00:04:31

this again

00:04:35

and now I can no longer see the O-ring

00:04:38

and the solenoid is fully seeded

00:04:41

this one needs a little bit of help

00:04:45

now it's in brand new vacuum pump you

00:04:47

can see that the old one was leaking

00:04:49

heavily and made a mess in the engine

00:04:51

bay we need to slot this in into

00:04:52

ravana's gear

00:04:57

you can actually use a screwdriver here

00:05:00

to do that

00:05:02

there it is

00:05:07

brand new valve cover gasket and I took

00:05:09

the opportunity and cleaned up this

00:05:11

cover

00:05:12

so now we're going to replace

00:05:14

CCV diaphragm here

00:05:19

am I

00:05:21

that is ugly okay I'm gonna go spray

00:05:23

this out with brake cleaner

00:05:26

a ton of junk came out of here

00:05:28

and that's as clean as it's going to get

00:05:31

spring

00:05:33

and bring you diaphragm

00:05:40

bring your gasket for the valvetronic

00:05:42

motor plate

00:05:44

small rubber grommets here grommets here

00:05:52

a bit of oil here for the spark plug

00:05:53

cubes and of course to help us keep

00:05:56

the gasket in place

00:05:58

zip ties

00:06:01

this one is ready to go in brand new and

00:06:03

lubed up spark plug cubes

00:06:08

final round of cleaning

00:06:10

now you can add the ceiling where the

00:06:11

timing cover meets the head

00:06:15

and also on the half moons in the back

00:06:20

so let's do it the same way we took it

00:06:22

out under an angle

00:06:24

okay

00:06:30

okay

00:06:32

smooth where are we catching uh it's the

00:06:35

fuel line

00:06:36

now you can cut the zip ties

00:06:39

push it home

00:06:42

longer knots on the intake side

00:06:44

doesn't hurt to go around with a mirror

00:06:46

and just make sure

00:06:47

the gasket is seated properly all around

00:06:49

the torque is 10 unit meters even though

00:06:52

it's a bit unnecessary because you'll

00:06:53

feel when the bolt bottoms out just

00:06:56

don't go past that

00:06:58

and you're not gonna snap any studs or

00:07:00

bolts

00:07:03

get ready to fight how did I get this

00:07:06

out again

00:07:08

and freaking believable what a stupid

00:07:11

design

00:07:14

cutting the gasket in half

00:07:26

never seen such idiots in my life this

00:07:29

is absolutely surreal man the lead

00:07:32

engineer must have been Mickey Mouse he

00:07:34

doesn't want to slip over The Eccentric

00:07:36

shaft sensor

00:07:38

so I have to use my finger

00:07:42

in order not to cut

00:07:44

the gasket

00:07:46

finally over it

00:07:48

been doing this for 20 minutes now

00:07:51

absolutely ridiculous

00:07:55

not only did they put the stupid

00:07:56

eccentric shaft sensor in this stupid

00:07:58

position they had to make it sharp so

00:08:01

when you touch the valve cover gasket

00:08:04

you're gonna slouch right through it I

00:08:06

really thought working on the X5 is

00:08:07

going to be a bit easier than on e65

00:08:09

because it's a bigger car nope

00:08:15

every time it drops and it ends up

00:08:18

somewhere in the subframe where I can't

00:08:19

get to it

00:08:20

and it doesn't hit the ground ah just

00:08:23

forget it get a different one

00:08:28

okay

00:08:29

I'm running out of 10 mils didn't hit

00:08:32

the ground I think I have another one

00:08:33

let's lose that one too

00:08:38

brand new ignition corals or ebosh

00:08:40

eccentric shaft sensor gaskets and brand

00:08:42

new OE camshaft position sensors

00:08:48

foreign

00:08:53

your gasket volatronic motor

00:08:58

simply screw it in

00:09:04

beautiful now I'm going to copy paste on

00:09:06

the other side

00:09:10

now we're going to replace the

00:09:11

alternator bracket seal which is

00:09:13

technically not the alternator bracket

00:09:14

seal on this car it's a bit different

00:09:16

than an e65 for example on that car you

00:09:19

have to support the engine from the top

00:09:21

on both the engine mount support arm and

00:09:24

then you can remove and unbolt the

00:09:26

alternator bracket X5 doesn't have that

00:09:29

it only has these two lines that go into

00:09:31

the oil thermostat and then in between

00:09:33

that old thermostat and the block

00:09:34

there's that seal that looks exactly the

00:09:37

same as the alternator bracket on the

00:09:38

e65 so technically this should be a bit

00:09:41

easier because we don't have to mess

00:09:42

with the engine mounts but the problem

00:09:44

is I can't even see it where it is it's

00:09:46

somewhere over here so we need to unbol

00:09:48

these two lines and unbolt the

00:09:50

thermostat and replace it there you can

00:09:52

see the two lines thermostat and then it

00:09:54

bolts to the block

00:09:59

cool that's the bolt for the oil cooler

00:10:02

lines

00:10:05

that's the two lines disconnected we

00:10:07

need to replace those O-rings after and

00:10:09

you need a tool like this to get to the

00:10:10

bolt and now there should be three

00:10:13

e-torx bolts holding the thermostat in

00:10:16

that's

00:10:18

really tight

00:10:20

ah finally ah

00:10:23

another bolt where's the last one

00:10:27

all right I stripped the bottom bolt

00:10:30

can't get it out so I have to order some

00:10:32

tools from Amazon to extract that bolt

00:10:34

so we'll pick that up tomorrow in the

00:10:36

meantime we're gonna continue and do

00:10:37

something else now we're gonna reinstall

00:10:39

the old this car I swear it is there's

00:10:42

no room for anything

00:10:49

ideally you need five Engineers here one

00:10:52

to swear one to Direct One to snort

00:10:54

cocaine

00:10:56

oh goody

00:10:57

the oil pan

00:11:01

give me a minute gonna make this thing

00:11:03

look brand new

00:11:20

gotta remove the old pickup tube to

00:11:22

clean it

00:11:28

yeah that's coming up as well see how

00:11:31

much crowd we have in there all of this

00:11:32

looks like paper or cotton or something

00:11:34

I think it was from the old filter that

00:11:36

was disintegrating

00:11:39

nice and clean

00:11:47

learnings and gents the easiest oil pan

00:11:50

gasket to replace

00:11:51

in the world I'm gonna apply thread

00:11:54

sealer on the bolts sealer not Locker

00:11:58

totally drop them in

00:12:11

contact cleaner

00:12:15

brand new dream plug the old one was

00:12:18

semi-stripped the torque for this is 350

00:12:21

newton meters

00:12:24

that's looking spiffy isn't it gonna

00:12:27

remove the water pump at thermostat

00:12:28

since we're replacing that

00:12:35

we need to remove the vibration dumper

00:12:37

in order to get to one of the water pump

00:12:39

bolts that's behind it and unlock the

00:12:41

vibration jumper

00:12:49

foreign

00:12:54

[Music]

00:13:00

body as well so we can clean it and

00:13:02

there's one coolant line

00:13:04

behind it that I want to replace

00:13:14

who wants to see Mitzi getting a treat

00:13:21

good huh

00:13:23

catch

00:13:25

yes it's not

00:13:28

she can't do that

00:13:32

take it

00:13:34

oh no must

00:13:36

enough

00:13:37

now she's all happy see if she can speak

00:13:39

like a rod bearing spin like a red

00:13:40

bearing

00:13:43

that's how you spin around bearing right

00:13:47

foreign

00:14:00

do you even know where you are I love

00:14:02

this dog and it's not even mine cooling

00:14:04

system parts we are going to replace

00:14:05

every single coolant hose all of these

00:14:08

plastic connections they get very brutal

00:14:10

over the years especially on a car

00:14:12

that's been in a hot climate all of its

00:14:14

life so I don't want to risk it with any

00:14:15

of that got new sensors as well new

00:14:18

original coolant tank water pump and 90

00:14:21

degrees Celsius thermostat from Yorks a

00:14:24

must for n62 engine I love this thing

00:14:26

another common issue on this engine is

00:14:28

the coolant pipe that runs across the

00:14:30

middle of the engine in the valley you

00:14:32

saw me replacing that on opina which is

00:14:34

super easy when you have the engine out

00:14:36

of the car and it's completely

00:14:37

disassembled but to replace it on this

00:14:39

car I would have to remove the intake

00:14:41

manifold the front timing cover

00:14:43

everything in front of it and then pull

00:14:44

it out I could also get collapsible

00:14:47

aftermarket pipes I don't know if they

00:14:49

work well another solution is to get

00:14:51

some sleeve and then smear some stuff on

00:14:54

the inside of the pipe which is going to

00:14:55

seal it but that's not really a good

00:14:57

solution because you're only sealing the

00:14:59

pipe on the inside and not the outside

00:15:01

on this particular car it's not leaking

00:15:03

whatsoever so I'm not going to touch it

00:15:05

because even if it does start leaking

00:15:06

it's not something that's going to leave

00:15:08

me stranded it's just going to develop a

00:15:10

coolant leak and we're going to see

00:15:12

coolant on the floor and it's going to

00:15:13

slowly lose coolant and then we know we

00:15:15

need to do it but at this point I'm not

00:15:17

going to worry about it because another

00:15:18

thing that's crossing my mind see all of

00:15:21

this build up here this slime calcium

00:15:24

whatever it is that's probably what

00:15:25

sealing that pipe right now and the seal

00:15:27

is pretty good kind of replace this

00:15:29

small coolant pipe

00:15:32

all right

00:15:37

now I need to clean this here

00:15:47

new pipe silicone spray

00:15:53

gonna clean the throttle body

00:16:04

around your gasket

00:16:08

foreign

00:16:11

the connector before we forget

00:16:28

the bolt is finally loose

00:16:31

but there's still a bit but there's a

00:16:33

bit more material left on the

00:16:35

on the head and that won't it won't let

00:16:37

me to pull

00:16:38

I don't know what I'm talking anymore

00:16:39

because I've been doing this for a whole

00:16:41

day

00:16:43

Bolt

00:16:52

oh

00:16:54

oh

00:16:56

well yeah that makes sense

00:16:58

thermostat broke

00:17:01

it's out

00:17:03

this Mighty Euros is what happens when a

00:17:05

small bolt turns into a massive ordeal

00:17:07

took me a better part of my day to

00:17:09

remove this thing I made a mistake of

00:17:12

not removing the power steering pump

00:17:13

which you should definitely do if you're

00:17:15

replacing this gasket two bolts in the

00:17:17

front and you can just pull it out and

00:17:18

have a lot more room to access all of

00:17:20

the bolts I didn't position the ratchet

00:17:22

properly on this bottom bolt so when I

00:17:24

tried to turn it I shipped the head and

00:17:26

this is E10 Torx and the problem is the

00:17:29

transfer case is right over here so you

00:17:30

don't have a lot of space to use any

00:17:32

tools I tried different bolt nut

00:17:35

extractors nothing worked and I was this

00:17:37

close to dropping the subframe and the

00:17:39

transfer case to get this thing out but

00:17:41

then I decided to use the Dremel and

00:17:43

grind the head off

00:17:45

and then I use the pry bar and broke the

00:17:47

thermostat housing which doesn't matter

00:17:48

in your thermostat is 40 Euro and then

00:17:50

this thing popped loose and I was just

00:17:52

able to undo it by hand

00:17:54

ridiculous but this is the famous gasket

00:17:57

that's plastic at this point they always

00:17:59

leak and this costs two euros

00:18:02

this is a 15 minute job at Max when you

00:18:05

undo all of the boats properly but in my

00:18:07

case it took a bit longer so I ordered a

00:18:10

new one that's going to come in a couple

00:18:12

of days in the meantime we're going to

00:18:13

continue and do other stuff now I'm

00:18:15

going to do a spot of cleaning that's

00:18:17

marginally better the sway bar bushings

00:18:19

are perished so we're gonna do that now

00:18:21

since we have clear shot at the brackets

00:18:24

foreign

00:18:32

is a bit cunning here and for the

00:18:34

reasons unknown to humanity they do not

00:18:36

sell these bushings separately you can

00:18:38

only buy them together with the brand

00:18:39

new sway bar makes no sense whatsoever

00:18:42

because why would you want to replace

00:18:43

the entire sway bar it's a piece of

00:18:45

metal and if it's in good condition you

00:18:47

don't need to replace it the only thing

00:18:49

that's bad are these bushings anyway

00:18:51

since I don't want to spend 500 euro on

00:18:52

a piece of metal I went with powerflex

00:18:54

polyurethane bushings that's the only

00:18:57

other alternative

00:19:00

assembly grease to just silicone grease

00:19:07

ah fits like a glove

00:19:13

I'm gonna install the water pump

00:19:20

huh

00:19:22

thermostat

00:19:31

I'm going to replace this coolant line

00:19:33

here

00:19:34

I wonder if I can flush the coolant

00:19:37

there

00:19:38

yes

00:19:41

that worked wonderfully

00:19:43

flush the cooler

00:19:48

vibration dumper

00:19:54

you know the fun part this is a stupid

00:19:58

elastic belt

00:19:59

[Music]

00:20:01

to grow through the engines so the belt

00:20:03

can settle

00:20:05

now the belt is fully seated now you're

00:20:08

going to replace this heater core

00:20:09

coolant lines

00:20:14

come on up your hands out

00:20:17

that worked

00:20:28

that's all of these lines here replaced

00:20:30

brand new coolant temperature sensor

00:20:38

brand new OE thermostat 45 European

00:20:41

Shillings and a replacement bolt keep

00:20:44

the surface a nice wipe

00:20:47

thank you

00:20:48

good and twist

00:20:52

done

00:20:54

three minute job to put it back in now

00:20:55

we need to replace the O-rings

00:20:59

oil

00:21:02

I'm Bolt

00:21:05

and that's that stupid small seal

00:21:07

officially replaced

00:21:10

there's a connector that plugs into the

00:21:13

power steering pump so if you're doing

00:21:15

this job definitely unbolt the power

00:21:16

steering pump very easy two bolts in the

00:21:20

front and one connector in the back

00:21:27

foreign

00:21:33

[Music]

00:21:40

coil wires

00:21:45

now I'm gonna go around with liquid

00:21:46

Molly engine compartment cleaner and see

00:21:48

if we can make this thing look a bit

00:21:50

nicer

00:22:09

I don't know what kind of magic potion

00:22:11

is in that spray bottle but look at the

00:22:12

engine bay it looks about 20 times

00:22:14

better than before and I didn't even

00:22:16

spend that much time or put too much

00:22:17

effort into this just sprayed it all

00:22:19

around use the brush to rub it in and

00:22:21

then compress there to blow it out

00:22:22

really happy how it turned out

00:22:25

how to buy a brand new one for this side

00:22:27

because it was broken

00:22:29

100 euros ridiculous plug in the fuel in

00:22:33

clip

00:22:39

water pump pulley

00:22:42

brand new pulley

00:22:46

brand new tensioner with a pulley

00:22:48

this is the one that was squeaking

00:22:51

before

00:22:54

around your belt

00:22:57

no compress it and pull out the pin

00:23:01

brand new expansion tank

00:23:06

there's one coolant line on the bottom

00:23:10

there it is

00:23:12

now I'm going to go and flush the

00:23:13

radiator

00:23:20

the fan

00:23:24

plug it in coolant hose going in

00:23:29

connect the sensor

00:23:34

that's the cooling system reconnected

00:23:36

brand new CCV

00:23:38

brand new intake air duct the old one

00:23:40

was perished

00:23:43

cabin air filter and everything in the

00:23:45

back the wipers we're going to do that

00:23:47

later at this point I want to hear the

00:23:49

engine running

00:23:55

I'm going to replace the mouth

00:23:59

OE Bosch

00:24:13

foreign

00:24:18

clips that were missing

00:24:22

time for the fresh fluids since we saw

00:24:24

that the engine is a little bit sludgy

00:24:26

we're gonna go with liquid Molly 0w-40

00:24:28

since I have a lot of it in stock then

00:24:30

we're gonna run engine flush and dump

00:24:32

that oil and then we're going to switch

00:24:34

permanently to 5w40 full synthetic this

00:24:37

is the correct coolant for this engine

00:24:38

which is the bluish kind and then fresh

00:24:41

power steering fluid AKA hydraulic fluid

00:24:43

which is the green stuff I thoroughly

00:24:45

cleaned the cap

00:24:49

a little bit of the orange

00:24:53

and now we need to pre-loop the oil

00:24:54

filter

00:25:09

before we start adding coolant

00:25:11

ignition on

00:25:15

set the temperature to Max

00:25:18

thank you

00:25:19

and then fan low setting and now we can

00:25:21

start adding coolant because the heater

00:25:23

core valves are open

00:25:27

so this vehicle doesn't have power

00:25:30

steering drain bolt on the power

00:25:32

steering pump or power steering line

00:25:34

that I can easily disconnect and then

00:25:35

drain the fluid so you're going to do it

00:25:37

the basic way you draw the fluid from

00:25:39

the reservoir put new stuff in start the

00:25:42

car and then repeat that process four

00:25:44

five six times until the fluid starts

00:25:46

looking nice and green because right now

00:25:48

it's not green or nice

00:25:53

that should be green

00:25:58

that's how that should look like

00:26:01

nice and green now we need to reset

00:26:03

valtronic adaptations so I fired up ISTA

00:26:06

takes about 13 days for the thing to

00:26:09

load all right continue

00:26:12

that was it successfully learned I

00:26:14

unplugged the crank position sensor

00:26:16

which means the engine will not start

00:26:18

which is exactly what we want we want to

00:26:20

crank the engine over without firing to

00:26:22

build oil pressure and then we're going

00:26:23

to plug it back in clear the codes and

00:26:25

start it

00:26:28

foreign

00:26:48

level

00:26:52

sounds good

00:26:54

idle goes down

00:26:57

sounds nice and smooth so now I'm going

00:27:00

to let it warm up fully and then we're

00:27:02

going to put engine flush then run it

00:27:04

for 10 minutes and then drain that oil

00:27:12

turn it off

00:27:13

it's funny you pretty much have to

00:27:15

disconnect this air duct every time you

00:27:18

want to put oil in the engine

00:27:21

cup

00:27:24

so once you run the engine flush

00:27:26

well first of all try not to spill

00:27:29

second of all once you run the engine

00:27:30

flush you want to change the oil twice

00:27:32

not just once because

00:27:34

this stuff is really thin and it'll stay

00:27:37

in the oil so if you do only one oil

00:27:38

change you can have some residue left in

00:27:40

the oil

00:27:41

so what I like to do is change oil right

00:27:44

after this then run it for a little bit

00:27:46

and then do another oil change and then

00:27:47

you can go back to the regular oil

00:27:49

change interval

00:27:54

10 minutes

00:28:02

foreign

00:28:04

protection when removing hot oil

00:28:09

and that doesn't look too bad

00:28:14

all right I'm going to let this drain

00:28:16

overnight

00:28:17

I'm gonna go home have dinner and then

00:28:19

we'll pick this up tomorrow

00:28:26

starting to look a bit better but still

00:28:28

on the brownish side

00:28:35

cold start sounds brilliant

00:28:39

[Applause]

00:28:40

I'm going to take all of this off and

00:28:42

then we're going to reinstall the wiper

00:28:44

mechanism and the windshield cowl

00:28:47

here's a brand new cover the old one was

00:28:49

broken

00:28:56

then we have these reinforcement bars

00:29:02

the rest of the covers

00:29:06

the windshield call is actually in good

00:29:08

condition just faded so we're gonna

00:29:10

quickly paint it I already degreased it

00:29:12

so now we're going to apply plastic

00:29:13

primer

00:29:29

foreign

00:29:36

s

00:29:39

brand new caps

00:29:42

one of them was missing

00:29:45

brand new cabin air filters

00:29:50

foreign

00:29:54

spanking new covers

00:30:00

no longer need to stick

00:30:06

I'm going to do the wiper blades

00:30:15

let's see if the windshield washer pump

00:30:17

works

00:30:21

yes

00:30:24

rear wiper blade

00:30:30

and we gotta fix this so this thing is

00:30:33

held in by double side sticky tape

00:30:39

and cut through that stuff

00:30:44

my mic battery died here so enjoy the

00:30:46

silent film

00:30:57

just realized my microphone died but

00:30:59

that's beautifully sorted here's the

00:31:01

type of Maintenance that no one ever

00:31:03

does but should be done

00:31:05

replacing the fuel filler cap after 15

00:31:07

years of service

00:31:09

we're going to clean around it

00:31:14

just a little bit

00:31:24

so this Rubber seal here that can go bad

00:31:26

over the years in fact the seal on this

00:31:28

one has cracks and it can actually set

00:31:30

off a check engine light

00:31:33

he shoots

00:31:36

and doesn't score here's a brand new one

00:31:39

original part now this might be

00:31:40

difficult to replace but don't be afraid

00:31:44

it's doable

00:31:49

yeah

00:31:51

cold start

00:31:55

nice quite a big cardis

00:32:01

off we go

00:32:13

now we're gonna let it warm up and then

00:32:15

we're gonna do the test to see if it's

00:32:17

still puffing blue smoke the engine

00:32:18

sounds wonderful a lot smoother than

00:32:21

before

00:32:24

[Applause]

00:32:27

foreign

00:32:31

that's one good sounding V8 it's been

00:32:34

idling now for about 14 years so let's

00:32:36

push the throttle and see what happens

00:32:39

look at that

00:32:43

just a bit of condensation which is

00:32:45

absolutely normal because the car hasn't

00:32:47

been driven in forever but no blue smoke

00:32:50

at all

00:32:51

blue smoke issue and oil consumption

00:32:54

resolved

00:32:57

foreign

00:33:04

sounds Mighty doesn't it

00:33:07

someone asked me why didn't you get the

00:33:09

six cylinder version

00:33:10

really did you hear that plus the six

00:33:13

cylinder it's nice but it's gonna

00:33:15

consume the same amount of fuel because

00:33:17

it has less power and it's a heavy car

00:33:19

this is powerful

00:33:21

and it sounds good and now onto the

00:33:23

transmission which has a small but

00:33:25

Annoying issue let me demonstrate the

00:33:27

issue with the transmission I'm gonna

00:33:29

engage drive now which works just fine

00:33:32

and it's instant but if I try to engage

00:33:35

reverse watch or listen how long it

00:33:37

takes now one two three three second

00:33:42

delay to get the reverse going

00:33:45

shouldn't be like that should be pretty

00:33:46

much instantaneous and this is

00:33:48

especially annoying if you're trying to

00:33:50

park the car if I'm maneuvering the car

00:33:51

here in the yard you're just sitting

00:33:53

here and waiting for the transmission to

00:33:54

kick in

00:33:56

as far as I know otherwise it's shifting

00:33:58

fine it's not clunky it's not sleeping

00:34:00

gears only this

00:34:02

now one two three second delay to get to

00:34:06

reverse engaged

00:34:08

is the issue so let's see if we can fix

00:34:10

it this X5 has a zf6hb 28x transmission

00:34:15

BMW and parts catalog like real OEM call

00:34:18

it 6 hp 26z which is a bit confusing so

00:34:22

it's always best to look for the name

00:34:24

stamp on the side of a transmission

00:34:25

before ordering parts we are going to do

00:34:28

a thorough service of this sloshbox and

00:34:30

replace some parts of the valve body

00:34:31

that can cause funky problems such as

00:34:34

this one we have the crack spec fluid

00:34:36

for this transmission from liquid Mali

00:34:37

top Tech ATF 1800 new pan with inbuilt

00:34:41

Filter valve body separator plate new

00:34:44

sleeves dampers adapters and mechatronic

00:34:47

solenoid kit what this is going to solve

00:34:50

our issue I'm not sure but this is a

00:34:52

good starting point and we're trying

00:34:53

before deeming this transmission bad

00:34:55

gonna remove the protection plate

00:34:59

that's the oil pan with inbuilt Filter

00:35:01

that's currently leaking first we're

00:35:04

gonna crack open the fill plug

00:35:06

and I'm going to get questions again why

00:35:08

it's rather simple if you take off the

00:35:12

drain plug and you drain all of the oil

00:35:15

out and then you come back to fill the

00:35:16

thing and you can't remove this fill

00:35:18

plug for whatever reason where you're

00:35:20

going to do then

00:35:21

at least this way if you know it's not

00:35:23

going to come out you can buy tools or

00:35:24

prepare yourself for the challenge

00:35:28

Give It Up

00:35:30

ah

00:35:32

a good slap

00:35:34

hello that looks really disgusting

00:35:40

so I'm gonna go ahead and say

00:35:42

this transmission was never serviced

00:35:49

yeah definitely never serviced

00:35:54

P40

00:36:00

it's all been removed but we have one

00:36:02

bolt in the front and one in the back so

00:36:04

we can break the seal

00:36:08

foreign

00:36:11

ly remove this bolt and lean the pan

00:36:14

this way so if there's more fluid in it

00:36:16

it can drain

00:36:24

oh God it stinks

00:36:28

so here's the oil pan these are the

00:36:30

magnets and you can see where that

00:36:32

occurred over the years collects metal

00:36:34

shavings and here you can see the date

00:36:37

it says

00:36:38

September 11 2008 so this transmission

00:36:42

was never serviced and this is of course

00:36:45

normal wear that happens

00:36:47

over time now I'm going to disconnect

00:36:48

the plug

00:36:53

okay that's the plug disconnected now we

00:36:55

need to pull this white tab

00:36:58

and this is going to release

00:37:00

this thing here that we also need to

00:37:02

replace there are O-rings in there

00:37:10

there it is now I'm going to remove the

00:37:12

mechatronics and there are two different

00:37:14

size bolts here we're removing t40 and

00:37:18

t27 we are not touching at this point

00:37:31

okay

00:37:34

to the table

00:37:37

look at me

00:37:40

ah so these are the sleeves that we need

00:37:43

to replace this is the thing here that

00:37:45

we need to replace as well

00:37:48

gonna start by replacing these leaves

00:37:50

here we have two that are same size and

00:37:52

then one that's middle size and one

00:37:54

that's the longest so we're gonna take

00:37:56

them out one by one compare them with

00:37:57

the new ones and replace them see if we

00:37:59

can use this

00:38:05

oh yeah it's much easier this is the

00:38:07

longest one and I lubed up new one with

00:38:09

transmission fluid

00:38:14

and that's how it should fit

00:38:17

I should stick out all of it the old one

00:38:19

was compressed a lot

00:38:22

this is the middle one

00:38:27

and these two are the same size

00:38:32

well that was easy wasn't it now we need

00:38:35

to take apart the valve body replace the

00:38:37

plate the solenoids and the rest of the

00:38:39

stuff that comes with the kit

00:38:43

first we're going to remove this cable

00:38:44

here so this is t27

00:38:50

now we need to separate the electronics

00:38:51

from the hydraulic unit which is this

00:38:53

big plastic on the back and the sheet is

00:38:55

going to tell us which bolts to remove

00:39:01

it's already ready to come out

00:39:09

near here came out with the pins now

00:39:11

we're going to remove the raster bolts

00:39:13

and then we can separate the valve body

00:39:16

foreign

00:39:20

open this coffin gently pry here

00:39:27

okay

00:39:38

lovely that's the guts of the valve body

00:39:41

so don't flip this one around there are

00:39:44

Springs they're check balls and stuff in

00:39:47

here

00:39:48

so we're just gonna try to gently clean

00:39:51

the surface

00:39:52

a little bit before we put the new plate

00:39:55

in

00:39:56

make sure that this number here matches

00:39:58

with the plate that you got

00:40:00

this one says a605 on one side and b065

00:40:06

on the other I have clean carbon fiber

00:40:08

here

00:40:12

I'm not going to take this thing apart

00:40:14

because I don't think it's necessary and

00:40:16

I also don't want to misplace any of

00:40:18

this stuff this here is a filter let's

00:40:20

pull that out and clean it

00:40:25

yeah it's a mesh filter and it's clean

00:40:28

it doesn't look dirty at all

00:40:35

I'm not going to replace these dampers

00:40:36

here seven of them and to get them out I

00:40:39

can use a pick tool from the other side

00:40:42

and slowly push them out

00:40:45

like that

00:40:49

and it's pretty flat Q-tips to clean

00:40:52

this kind of coat it with oil

00:41:15

all of the old ones are flat except for

00:41:17

one for whatever reason now I'm gonna

00:41:19

Park this one on the side

00:41:22

now we're going to change the solenoids

00:41:24

we have three yellow ones these are

00:41:25

actually blue even though they look

00:41:27

somewhat green they spent 18 years

00:41:29

inside of a transmission so they change

00:41:31

colors and these are actually orange not

00:41:33

brown and then we have the last one

00:41:34

which is green need to remove the

00:41:36

retaining plate

00:41:43

okay we're gonna replace them one by one

00:41:49

so these are already pre-looped but we

00:41:51

can give them a little bit more

00:41:57

and the last one

00:42:05

alien looking one

00:42:07

and then we need to remove this because

00:42:09

that also comes with the kit yep pop

00:42:12

this loose push it out

00:42:15

then we can take out this thing

00:42:20

let's oil it up

00:42:44

these are torqued to six millimeters

00:42:52

foreign

00:42:53

[Music]

00:43:01

gently

00:43:08

also six

00:43:11

and that's all of the solenoids replaced

00:43:16

new plate

00:43:20

the gingerly put this back on

00:43:32

now I'm going to flip it around

00:43:36

and we can install

00:43:38

this thing

00:43:39

and we need to be careful to line up

00:43:41

this pin with the notch here

00:43:48

and there we are fully seeded I'm going

00:43:52

to get the new cable

00:43:56

now I'm going to torque all of these

00:43:57

bolts to six unit meters and there's no

00:44:00

specific torque sequence so I'm just

00:44:01

going to start from inside to out

00:44:09

and this fall body is ready

00:44:12

to go back in

00:44:16

new bridge connector

00:44:19

clips into place we need to make sure

00:44:21

that we line up this gear selector here

00:44:23

with the notch in the valve body and

00:44:26

other than that it's just holding the

00:44:29

thing up and getting the screws going

00:44:32

which is more of a two-man job or if you

00:44:34

have a third hand now would be a good

00:44:36

time to use it

00:44:44

okay

00:44:46

we are in for the most part

00:44:58

it's too started

00:45:01

we have the Titan sequence on this paper

00:45:03

here that came with the kit and for the

00:45:05

all-wheel drive which this valve body

00:45:07

and transmission is it says that we have

00:45:09

four bolts here but we have three and

00:45:12

then we have four bolts on this side but

00:45:14

we have five so I'm just gonna swap

00:45:16

those around the torque is eight

00:45:18

nanometers

00:45:23

so the paper is showing 11 volts but

00:45:25

here we have 13. so I torqued all of

00:45:27

them down now I need to install the plug

00:45:29

adapter for the connector over there two

00:45:31

O-rings which I lubed up with

00:45:33

transmission fluid and there is a tab

00:45:35

here that we need to line up over there

00:45:37

so we need to just keep turning it until

00:45:39

that slots in and then I can push it all

00:45:41

the way in

00:45:44

oh there it is

00:45:47

it's fully seated

00:45:50

reconnect the connector

00:45:53

nice

00:45:57

Lube up this o-ring here

00:46:04

I'm going to slowly drive them in and

00:46:06

then we're gonna talk into spec

00:46:12

these bolts are torqued to 10 newton

00:46:14

meters and there is a torque sequence

00:46:16

I'll put a picture on the screen so

00:46:18

we're going to Torque from 1 to 21.

00:46:25

done now I can torque the drain plug to

00:46:27

8 Newton meters that's what it says here

00:46:32

okay it's already torqued the spec when

00:46:34

it comes to transmission fluid some will

00:46:35

tell you that if the transmission was

00:46:37

never serviced you should collect what

00:46:39

you drain out of it and put it back in

00:46:41

which kind of makes sense uh this thing

00:46:43

has 183 000 kilometers you saw the fluid

00:46:45

it was really dirty it's full of metal

00:46:47

and stuff from the transmission so

00:46:49

you're not disturbing anything if you

00:46:51

put it back in it's that lifetime fluid

00:46:53

in the past I've always put fresh fluid

00:46:55

in automatic transmissions and never had

00:46:57

any issues even on cars that had more

00:46:58

kilometers than this one I'm of the

00:47:00

opinion that if it's going to start

00:47:02

slipping or misbehaving with fresh fluid

00:47:04

then this thing wasn't going to last

00:47:06

long anyway and you need to rebuild it

00:47:08

so we're going to fill it up with

00:47:09

correct fluid from liquid Molly

00:47:11

and I love these bottles

00:47:14

so we're going to be filling until the

00:47:16

fluid starts coming out of the fill hole

00:47:18

so when it starts getting difficult to

00:47:20

squeeze the bottle I remove this filling

00:47:22

device here and top off the bottle that

00:47:25

way it's always easy to squeeze it

00:47:28

all right we are there

00:47:31

grab the plug

00:47:36

I'm reading ZF repair manual and

00:47:38

refilling procedure for this

00:47:39

transmission we need to do what we did

00:47:41

right now start filling the transmission

00:47:43

until it starts overflowing put the plug

00:47:45

in start the car and immediately top off

00:47:48

the fluid until it starts overflowing

00:47:51

put the plug back in then go back in the

00:47:53

car and put the car in Reverse drive and

00:47:56

then manually shift up to third gear and

00:47:59

hold each gear for three seconds then

00:48:01

engage Park then if the oil temperature

00:48:04

of the transmission is between 30 and 50

00:48:06

degrees Celsius we need to open the fill

00:48:08

plug if oil comes out then transmission

00:48:11

fluid level is correct if nothing comes

00:48:13

out then we need to start filling it

00:48:15

until it starts overflowing then let it

00:48:18

drip out refit the plug and that's it

00:48:20

transmission fluid level is correct

00:48:22

sounds simple but this includes a lot of

00:48:24

running around so I'm gonna prepare my

00:48:26

bottles

00:48:27

[Music]

00:48:29

foreign

00:48:31

doesn't have an option to monitor

00:48:33

temperature of the transmission so I

00:48:36

have some El Cheapo scanner here that's

00:48:38

showing me temperature of the

00:48:40

transmission of the oil and transmission

00:48:41

and it's showing that currently it's 20

00:48:44

degrees Celsius

00:48:45

so I'm going to hang this out of the

00:48:47

door like this

00:48:48

and I can monitor it like that now I'm

00:48:51

going to start the car and if the

00:48:52

transmission doesn't sound like a bucket

00:48:55

with bolts I'm gonna jump out raise the

00:48:57

car all the way in the air and start

00:48:59

filling the transmission

00:49:03

foreign

00:49:09

start pumping some fluid in

00:49:14

silver flowing

00:49:15

put the plug back in

00:49:19

what do we have for temperature

00:49:22

this thing is saying 23 degrees foot on

00:49:26

the brake reverse

00:49:28

one two three

00:49:32

drive one two three first second third

00:49:37

so this thing says it's 25 degrees

00:49:39

Celsius

00:49:42

all right it says 30 degrees so let's

00:49:44

start filling

00:49:46

good that transmission is full

00:49:51

so we need to let it drip out

00:49:54

it's done peeing

00:50:04

33 degrees Celsius

00:50:07

it's rather slow to warm up this

00:50:09

transmission

00:50:10

but drive

00:50:14

yep reverse

00:50:17

immediately

00:50:21

reverse

00:50:24

fixed

00:50:25

I didn't even drive it but it's fixed

00:50:32

all right I don't have time now to drive

00:50:34

it it's too late the lady's waiting

00:50:37

look at that the reverse is instant you

00:50:40

never did that before I don't want to

00:50:42

celebrate thoroughly although I

00:50:44

just did but we'll test drive it

00:50:48

tomorrow in daylight I gotta go pick up

00:50:50

churross on the way back home

00:50:54

Buenas

00:50:55

six tours later

00:50:58

let's see how this thing

00:51:01

drives in the yard

00:51:02

There You Go reverse

00:51:05

instant

00:51:06

it never did that before

00:51:09

even cold it took forever well three

00:51:12

seconds which is forever in transmission

00:51:14

days

00:51:19

thank you

00:51:21

yeah it's good

00:51:28

oh second

00:51:31

reverse

00:51:33

immediate

00:51:35

issue fixed

00:51:38

Drive happens immediately

00:51:43

I think that was third

00:51:48

let's see reverse

00:51:52

that's how it should be instant within a

00:51:55

second of course the real test is to

00:51:57

actually take the car on the road and

00:52:00

make sure it shifts fine through all of

00:52:01

the gears but we can't do that because

00:52:03

the car doesn't have tooth and it's not

00:52:05

registered

00:52:07

so we'll make sure it shifts fine then

00:52:09

but I think it'll be fine but for now

00:52:12

we're gonna call this fixed

00:52:15

Feels So Gangster the seats are very

00:52:17

comfying this thing yeah fun fact the

00:52:21

fuel cap that I removed they almost

00:52:23

threw away ended up on that thing over

00:52:25

there my landlords Range Rover he lost

00:52:28

his cap and I gave him that one because

00:52:31

that's Range Rover from era when BMW

00:52:33

owned Range Rover and he says it's

00:52:35

perfect for him so he saved 20 bucks

00:52:41

all right not gonna let it warm up all

00:52:43

the way and make sure it still shifts

00:52:45

fine oh yeah the windshield washer fluid

00:52:47

is leaking I think we have a problem

00:52:49

with the bottle

00:52:51

or the hose oh we have electrical tape

00:52:54

on the filler neck for the windshield

00:52:56

washer fluid perfect we all know

00:52:59

electrical tape has fantastic ceiling

00:53:03

properties

00:53:05

Navy SEAL is used indeed you know that

00:53:07

how do they like the look of this car

00:53:08

huh I think it looks good I mean I don't

00:53:11

like SUVs like I told you one of the

00:53:13

reasons is well these last two episodes

00:53:15

that is a bolt

00:53:18

for something

00:53:19

put that in the pocket say you didn't

00:53:22

find it remember first episode when I

00:53:24

said I don't really like SUVs and one of

00:53:26

the reasons is the maintenance

00:53:27

everything is far more complicated and

00:53:29

more difficult to do than a normal car

00:53:32

yeah I I stand by it the car is now nice

00:53:35

and toasty

00:53:37

reverse is working instantaneously

00:53:47

reverse

00:53:50

ladies and gentlemen we are fixing

00:53:52

complex issues here left and right

00:53:55

the transmission feels so much better

00:53:57

now as the word fixed it my guess is

00:53:59

fresh fluid and solenoids let me try to

00:54:01

do a turn now

00:54:04

yes I don't have to sit and wait like a

00:54:07

for the slush box to do its thing

00:54:12

I can hit the throttle immediately I

00:54:15

think we're gonna do Bilstein B6 sharks

00:54:17

on this thing

00:54:18

I think it'll suit the car really well

00:54:20

the only issue is they don't have them

00:54:22

in stock so hopefully by the time I'm

00:54:24

back from my vacation

00:54:25

they'll be available

00:54:27

so we can swap them out I'm very happy

00:54:29

with the progress on the X5 so far we

00:54:32

completed a third service of the engine

00:54:33

and transmission and ticked them off the

00:54:35

list in the next episode we'll replace

00:54:37

the flex disc on the prop shaft do some

00:54:40

suspension work refurbish the headlights

00:54:42

with new projectors brakes and make sure

00:54:44

the car is ready for German tooth

00:54:46

inspection I love it when after a long

00:54:48

wrenching session the car works as it

00:54:50

should and hopefully you found this

00:54:51

episode enjoyable as well as always

00:54:53

thank you so much for watching and if

00:54:55

you liked the video perhaps consider

00:54:57

subscribing as we have a lot more

00:54:58

wrenching content coming thanks again

00:55:00

and I'll see you soon

00:55:16

thank you
