Sorry but bullshit! Shroud does not slide out! It gets stuck cuz of the fan!

@tallica4us

Really.. Did you Read the description regarding the fan?

All of your video's have helped me replace my water pump on my 325i. Thanks for all the hard work. Made my life easier!

@1776Filmz

Solid ! Great to hear that my videos assisted on your repairs. Note: Just make sure you Bleed your coolant system afterwards. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge for the next day or so, in case there's still some trapped air pockets in the system. Don't forget to Subscribe & I appreciate your comments.

@bimmersgarage, I noticed you have green antifreeze, I just replaced the thermostat on my e46 and had to mix green with the beamer blue. I want to swap it all out, should I flush or just drain and add?

[bimmersgarage]

@ucfsub

Whenever you do a coolant change, you should go ahead and flush the entire system then refill with the appropriate mixture.
