Thanks for your feedback. Good to know what to look for when alternator is
going bad. Thats you opinion, as for me, bmw’s rock. Best cars out there by
far.
I already went through 2 alternators: original one and a used one off a
740i. Today I am installing a new reman. bosch, ebay. Some ppl can rebuild
these. A giveaway of a bad alt. is the x5 going into trans failsafe mode,
battery dead. Can unlock your cluster option 9 and read cars voltage,
should be 12-14 volts when running. I just hate wasting the coolant for
this job. Bmw sucks..haha
How to you remove the coolant hose from the housing of the alternator
without damaging it.? It was not included in the video. And that’s the last
piece connected to the alternator.
I have a BMW X5 2003 4.4 and followed the video which is pretty good. I
came to the point that required pulling the old alternator out… and no
matter what i have tried… it appears to be stuck. Any suggestions?
Sure. What video would you want?
If you are already working on your alternator, I would recommend installing
new hoses. Having said that, just cut old hose and install new ones.
Hello Marisela, Based on the information and symptoms that you described,
you would need to replace your whole moon roof cartridge/assembly. Seems
like your sliding guide cables went off track and have chewed up assembly.
Good news is that you dont need a moon roof motor since it tries to slide
glass back. Removal process is not hard, just time consuming. What
model/year bmw are you going to buy?
Hello, I wanted to know if you are accepting any video request? I just
subscribed;)
Thanks
p.s: what kind of car do you have?
I just replaced an alternator on a 540i 2000, everything went good but
after 15 minutes began to overheating. In the process I disconected an oil
cooler located under the alternator but I put it back. So has something to
do that i disconect that whith the overheating?
helpful vid man
I think its not hard to get that fixed, it could be some rubber problems,
but im not sure since im pretty jealous on cars with a sunroof! hahah
Seem like you are in OC… do you have a shop here in local? I live in La
Mirada.
First off, good job replacing that water cooled alternator. Did you release
all the air pockets from the cooling system by bleeding system? If you
didn’t, then you have to take that extra step. Seems like there are some
air bubbles present in your cooling system.
I will be buying a 2001 BMW and the sunroof makes a noise and it doesnt
open, the moonroof is out of track so do you think it is an easy fix and
about how much do you think the replacement of the little motor that opens
the window would be? any help plzzzz I am one of those girls who like to
work and get hands on fixing cars.Ive changed water resoivors,fuel
injections systems, starter, and much more…I thing the window would be a
piece of cake but idk
