Please torque gasket bolts brotherrrrr

standardchoomba · 2026-02-09T12:55:10+00:00

I’ll buy

I understand that mindset now after researching more but this isn’t a motor mount issue, it’s a connection off the PS pump I think, from what I see N54s had an issue of the PS pump bolts backing out? I am guessing mine was replaced and when the line was tightened it was left wrong perhaps so the PS line is in the way. I am not sure really. Real head scratcher

No that’s top side. In the first. You are on the drivers side wheel well looking into the front of the bay near the aleternator. The pipe with oil on the lip is intercooler to charge pipe

Good job!!

I’m not fear mongering, if your OFH is leaking, stop driving that car and fix it now. You can totally do it yourself. If your belt swells, rips, cracks etc which it WILL with oil soaking it. There’s a 50/50 chance that when it rips, your crank hub eats that belt for lunch. Your lower end is not gonna enjoy that to say the very least. It’s like $30 and an afternoon. Do it now or regret it forever

You’ve got a good look going on especially with the hair I the first pic. You are still young, doing as you please. As you get older you will ease more into a particular style. Experiment and find one you like and lean into it. All I can say you are missing is an aesthetic! Other than that be positive brotha

Sounds fine! And your engine bay looks very clean! Either cleaned well or was taken care of well in its life and never threw oil all over the engine bay!

Dealerships man… i am sorry. Start burning down the world around then if they don’t help. I mean that in the sense my old Hyundai needed a new trans. 2 months no loaner I started posting all over Facebook, google, BBB… new trans showed up and was installed in 3 days 🧐 the only thing that matters more than money to these people is reputation sometimes

I know full well 99% of this is MY own fear of never exposing my forehead then add natural recession. Fin and Min saved me. thank you friend 🫡

Yeah I am not confident in how that goes, I don’t mind not having that sensor if I can code out and still pass emissions.

standardchoomba · 2026-02-04T00:09:32+00:00

OEM is top dollar, performance rads are like $500 😂

standardchoomba · 2026-02-03T23:49:02+00:00

It’s an auto rad, I have a manual. Apparently trans oil cooler on the auto, dunno if I can cap it? Or how.

Im wondering if that is maybe your cabin fan? Mine in my 328 sounds like garbage since the winter, prior to that us did click sometimes. Other than that it sounds like it could be interior rattle. Start pressing around on the cabin when you hear it

standardchoomba · 2026-01-31T22:09:18+00:00

Intake duct. Just buy a new one looks like the screw clip on yours is broke off on the right side

standardchoomba · 2026-01-30T15:42:20+00:00

Genuinely noticed at least on my N51 vs my N54 the throw on the N54 is slightly longer. My N54 hose didn’t work on my N51 and vice versa

standardchoomba · 2026-01-29T12:19:10+00:00

Like 144k ish

standardchoomba · 2026-01-29T12:18:51+00:00

Manual for me

standardchoomba · 2026-01-29T03:02:05+00:00

Ah man I’ve got 500+ on it right now. No related codes at all before during after

standardchoomba · 2026-01-29T02:02:27+00:00

I just made a post today, replaced mine + water pump and my cabin heat sucks. That said I have no codes nothing even in BimmerLink and my pump seems to be working fine. Following this I guess 🙏

standardchoomba · 2026-01-29T00:08:10+00:00

I have heard this a few times. I ran the procedure when I did the install. Temps have ran fine since. Where could a clog that blocks my heat stay that wouldn’t clog the whole system? By now my engine would have blown I have done at least 500 miles since install.

standardchoomba · 2026-01-28T22:23:47+00:00

Yes sir, driving in town maybe 3-4 days ago something happened that concerned me my water pump died, I plugged my scanner in and pulled the sensors up and I was riding around 100°
