Of course, if it were a Japanese car it wouldn’t need 50 wires going to the
Light Control module… in fact it probably wouldn’t have a light module
because most of the new Japanese cars I’ve seen still don’t tell you if a
light is burned out!? O.o
Brian, you mentioned that plug on the back of the instrument cluster isn’t
the easiest type (they’re called “ELO Connectors” I believe), but I’ve
found that once you get used to how they work they save your fingers from a
LOT of trauma compared to Japanese connectors… They use a gear mechanism
so that the lever actually pulls the plug out for you. The 50-pin ELO that
BMW uses on the LCM would need a crowbar if it were a Japanese car! 🙂
Hey I watched the whole video. Good Information. Would this tutorial work
for a 1995 525i also??
If u like fixing bmws buy the gt1 software on ebay. Its a dealer sprcific
software that you can install on ur laptop. I sprcialize in bmws. Let me
know if u ever need any help or advice
yes they could have but they are fucking assholes
Guess I am not going to get a BMW until I become rich. What a pain just to
replace the blower motor..
This. is. why. I. do. not. buy. Imports! They never think of how hard
Repairs are going to be! Anyways great video as always Brian! Cheers man!
Wow, that is a lot of work to get access to a blower motor. Cool design
though ; )
Lol the battery is in the trunk!
German cars, over priced , unreliable , poorly designed , pig to work on ,
rubbish.
Awesome Video Brian.!!!
Hello i have to adjust my valves on my 01 subaru impreza 2.5rs sohc and i
was just wondering if replacing the gaskets is a must and if theres
anything that i shud inspect . It has 147.000 on it and the valves never
been done .from what i heer it tics under power on the passinger side but
gose away slitly after its warmed up
very nice!
Thanks- you’re nice. I never know what I’ll be working on next either!
Today I welded up a delicate TORO commercial mower grass catcher. ???????
Good video Brian. when you disconnect the battery, should you use a memory
saver battery for the car?
ohhh wow lots of work, it was much easier on my e34. All from under the
hood ….
Exactly. No warranty on the labor if the part fails.
Nice blower job 🙂
@22:31 Angular momentom.
Note to self, NEVER buy one of these, or if i do, make sure i’m rich enough
to pay someone to do this, or just buy a new car…..
Too true
I love watching your videos, they are always full of useful information and
I never know what you will be working on next.
Seems anachronistic for a sophisticated automobile to waste energy with the
resistors just to slow the motor. I suppose they serve a purpose when you
want warm air.
It’s not a bad idea. I typically don’t.
Another BMW owner with Champagne taste on a beer budget salary. Hopefully
you don’t waranty parts that people get from a junkyard. Did the blower
motor for my Audi last year, but I brought a new one since I didn’t want to
tear apart the dash again to replace an old motor from the junkyard.
Do you consider Japanese cars, imports? They’re much easier to work on and
they barely ever fail this badly.
Man I bought a 2006 scion xa after a guy killed my car by slamming into it
in the rear at 70mph . Trunk was is the back seat. It was a 1991 toyota
camry I bought 20 years ago taught my 2 kids to drive it . That car was so
easy to work on . I can only do oil change on my scion xa . I know those
BMW are very hard to work on > Even a oil change on those is a real pain in
the ass.
thanks for taking the time to do this for us..
Picture is frozen from 21:38 to 23:47
Hey! Where’s Spanky? Or was this made pre-Spanky?
If you’re going to go through the effort to replace a blower motor, why
would you put in a use part from the junkyard?
it only good when it new
Putting a resistor in series with motor is the most reliable way of slowing
it. And it’s not as wasteful as he sais on video. If fan is running at ¼ of
full power whole system is using ½ of full power.
strap that camera to your head
Germán engineering @ its worst!
BECAAAAAAAAUSE…. The BMW owner supplied it!
Are they still imports if they are assemble in Tennessee?
Couldn’t they have just put it in the passenger footwell?
Hopefully I wont have to do this on my 525. It be more than 8 hrs of labor
for me. Good vid Brian. Hope you will have more Bavarians espec. e39, than
Subies 😉
It was filmed pre Spanky.
