DIY - discover if you have a oil filter housing gasket leaking. And if so how to replace it. While you're at it, may as well replace the AC tensioner, hydralic tensioner and the alternator idler pulley. Do either job or both with this video.

  • YOU ARE AWESOME!!! you did amazing! thank you soooo much for your help. i was thinking about doing this my self, do have any tips for this job. i do have some experience working on cars.

    

  • @MMyballsitch just take your time, understand each step and don't over/under torque anything.

  • I see a lot of oil by my vanos line. Do you think it is just the vanos line leaking or is it probably the oil housing gasket?

  • @kidstocks i would need to see it, if you have oil on your connections for your vanos then you probably need to look into those.

  • Great video.One of the best I have ever seen.Like a pro,Thanks,

  • @Jyunka1 awesome! glad to see it helped. coming soon ;-) the headlight washer spray nozzle and replacing your front lenses. (mine are so bad I wrote to BMW and stated that i would be better off strapping two fischer price kids flashlights to the front of my car).

  • Thanks mate!!! You are amazing!!! :-)

  • @PMPDaddy68 Thanks a Million Buddy it took me a little over 5 hours to do it fully for my first time start to end! this Sunday, couldn't of done it with out ya man!

  • @phillyphill112 i first cleaned my engine with gunk and a presure washer being careful only to hit metal areas with the spray. then once i removed everything i plugged all the oil holes with clean shop rags then used brake cleaner liberally sprayed around the oily areas then soaked/ wiped it all up with the blue shop towels till clean.

  • @Jyunka1 no need to drain the oil as long as you cover the hole with a clean shop rag to keep any debris out when you remove the tube that holds the dipstick.

  • Quick question do you need to drain the oil?
