Don’t Ignore Coolant Leaks
Plastic Parts Can Deteriorat Overtime Like This Coolant Elbow From My Bmw F10

Your BMW cooling system is critical to the performance and longevity of your BMW engine. A BMW's cooling system works as a whole by circulating fluid to transfer heat away from your engine's vital internal parts. A cooling failure can leave you stranded, or worse -- complete engine failure. Don't risk your engine! A BMW cooling overhaul is preventative maintenance and should be done every 60k miles or 5 years. Regular inspection of all hoses, radiators, thermostat, expansion tank, water pump, fans, fan clutch will help you avoid catastrophic engine overheating. Don't ignore leaks, bulging or cracking hoses or low coolant warnings. Preventative replacement of key BMW cooling components is a must to keep your BMW running strong.

There are 3 main parts of your car’s a/c system
- compressor
- condenser
- evaporator coil

Had some trouble with the a/c compressor back in 2019, so i did what any car guy would and replaced the entire a/c system - compressor, condenser & evaporater coil

The concept of air conditioning in a car was first properly developed by the Packard Motor Company in the United States. In 1939, they launched air conditioning as an add-on extra for purchasers of their cars.

Your car’s air conditioning system is made up of three main parts – the compressor, the condenser and the evaporator.

They all work together moving a substance called refrigerant through a high pressure/low pressure closed-loop system. Refrigerant changes from gas to liquid, and back to gas, and is a vital part of the air conditioning system and process.

The compressor is driven by a belt attached to the car engine. This is where the low-pressure refrigerant gas is compressed into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas before being pumped to the condenser.

The condenser works like your car’s radiator by dissipating out heat but also cooling the high-pressure refrigerant gas so it forms into a high-pressure liquid.

This high-pressure liquid then has any water removed from it by a small until called the receiver-dryer before being pumped to the thermal expansion valve.

Here, the high-pressure liquid is allowed to expand and become a low-pressure liquid, as it enters the low-pressure side of the loop system before moving to the evaporator which is located within the vehicle interior.

At this point, the low-pressure refrigerant liquid again turns into a gas and moves out of the evaporator taking the heat from the interior of the vehicle.

During this process, a fan blows over the exterior of the compressor, blowing cool air into the interior of the vehicle.

The low-pressure refrigerant gas now enters the compressor once more and the process begins again.

Common Bmw Problems :-
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Injector Gaskets
- Crankcase Breather Hose

What is a valve cover gasket?
A valve cover gasket seals the valve cover to the top portion of the engine cylinder head. The gasket prevents motor oil from leaking out as it travels around the camshafts, rockers and valves. In addition, many spark plug ports are sealed by the valve cover gasket. In the majority of modern engines, two style of gaskets are prevalent – liquid gaskets and formed rubber gaskets. The choice of gasket will depend on the material used in the construction of the valve cover, and how much pressure the seal might be under.

What are the symptoms of a faulty valve cover gasket?
Loss of motor oil is always a concern. Having said that, the oil leaking down from the valve cover tends to soak parts on the motor. Oil is acidic, and will eat through rubber and plastic over time, causing additional problems outside of loss of oil. The portion of the gasket that seals off the spark plug port is particularly weak, and over time will let in oil where the ignition wire or coil meets the plug. Although unseen, this leak may cause an engine misfire, leading to serious problems.

What Is A Crankcase Breather Hose?
A breather pipe allows an internal combustion engine to vent crankcase pressure out of the engine. It is actually a vent pipe.Its also called crank case ventilation pipe By venting pressure out of the crankcase, an engine's piston rings are allowed to seal tighter against the cylinder walls. This provides better compression and promotes less oil consumption while making more horsepower.

This pipe often is attached to a valve cover, and it is often recognized as the location to pour oil into the engine.

The F10 5-Series' design was developed by Jacekk Frohlich under Adrian van Hooydonk between 2005-06.

The F10 began production in 2010 and it lasted for seven years, ending in 2017. Quite a long generation. But, then again, all 5-Series live a long life. The F10 really put the 5-Series out there, with further technological developments over the E60 it replaced. It also introduced a lot of new technology to the 5-Series model, generally. It was the first 5-Series to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and, on the M5 model, a dual-clutch transmission. The F10 also introduced a hybrid drivetrain and double-wishbone suspension up front. Technologically, it also introduced stuff like active rear-steering (Integral Active Steering), EPS (Electronic Power Steering), automatic parking (Parking Assistant) and an LCD instrument cluster, known internally as the 'Black Panel Display'. The centre console was now angled toward the driver again, re-introducing the driver-focus of the BMW brand. iDrive got an update, too. The new generation introduced drive-mode selection, too. You could choose from comfort, normal, sport or sport+. Naturally, comfort was the daily option and sport+ existed for when a teenager borrowed their dad's car and wanted to do donuts in the local Tesco car park. I mean, that wasn't the real reason but, come on BMW. I know it was.

The F10 was the first 5-Series to have a petrol four-cylinder turbocharged engine option. This came on the 520i in 2012. BMW ConnectedDrive was also introduced. This was a general term for a host of technologies like an upgraded HUD (Head Up Display), real-time traffic information and hands-free opening of the tailgate. ''Sideview'' and ''Topview'' were also introduced for the first time. These were simply side mounted cameras which worked with the existing front and rear ones to give us a virtual image of the entire car from a birds eye view. Helps with parking. The F10 was smart, that's for sure. It even recognised signs and displayed speed limits in the instrument cluster. Ohh, and if you really like music you'll like the F10. It had an 80GB hard disc for navigation and music storage

The BMW N57 3.0 liter six-cylinder turbodiesel engine was named by Ward’s Auto in their top 10 Best Engines Award

The BMW N57 is a family of aluminium, turbocharged straight-6 common rail diesel engines. The engines utilize variable geometry turbochargers and Bosch piezo-electric injectors. The engine jointly replaced the M57 straight-6 and M67 V8 engines.

BMW has taken steps to ensure improved boost pressure response to accelerator demand. This results in improved acceleration. They’ve used a new turbocharger with improved dynamics. They have reduced friction and inertia in operation in the turbocharger and that has helped achieve their performance goals for the engine.

Hey guys, hope you're all doing well.
I just wanted to inform you guys about why I've not been active for a past couple of days, is because my father is quite unwell & I've been busy. With your blessings & wishes, we're hoping for my dad to be healthy and well again. I shall be posting videos on YouTube soon as well.

Car, they say a lot about you. Someone said this true, a car acts like a mirror of your personality. Although, they are not more than a combination of metals 🏎
