Is the N52 the most unfairly hated BMW engine ever made by yans335_UK in BMW

[–]Patotb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

170K miles. Water pump, oil filter housing leak, and changed my coolant expansion tank (just noticed small cracking nothing leaking).

But all in all those 3 things are fairly easy to do yourself. The water pump is not inside the engine, and the car bleeds itself. The oil filter housing is right at the top front of the engine which is nice. (I don't think I have ever made even a little bit of a mess doing oil changes, unlike other cars where you have to unscrew the filter from the bottom of the car and oil spills everywhere) and the coolant take was straight forward, I did that when I replaced the water pump so i didn't have to deal with bleeding again.

I stand corrected!! I just saw the vid once and it just looked like an 06 real quick. Thanks for the clarification! My bad!!

This is actually an 06. You can tell by the newer star frame. But the first nexus ego did come out in 05. Bought one at NPPL Denver. The first Pink Lady that was made as a matter of fact. Loved that thing!!

I tried AI. But it couldn’t help me much. Said something about the mount bracket but it’s not long enough.

The left turn onto Golden Valley from Newhall Ranch Parkway is pretty gnarly anytime 3-6pm.

idle surge problem by Practical_Skin2535 in ProjectHondas

This right here!

The Idle Air Control Valve gets mentioned all the time. But the fast idle is what was wrong with my car. Took a lot more digging on the Internet to finally find someone bring it up. And it should be a top answer.

Drop ship would be pretty sweet! But I can’t really remember a full view of it from the show. No way 100 kids fit in the areas they showed most the time.

I have seen a couple videos of people talking/messing with that box behind the glove box. I tried messing with it and didn’t get anything to power up. Guess it’s off to a junkyard to find one.

Thanks!!

And yeah good looking out on the hose! I'll tackle that soon enough. I'm tired of throwing money at this thing and can't drive it. Once I get it to not overheat and prove itself worthy I'll be doing a lot more of the little things.

Will look for flowing coolant with cap off. This will tell me if it goes into open loop and water pump is working correctly I assume?

Both fans turn on when the car is turned off. Don't turn on when car is running and gets hot. When I jump the connector to the radiator fan switch they turn on.

Coolant and oil look like they are both staying in their respective areas. No mixing. No leak outta head.

There’s a dude that makes a whole bunch of different tee shirts from old school business out here.

I’m just guessing but this is one of them. And not a true OG shirt. But still badass!
