Great feedback everyone, I appreciate all the input.
When i pull the tank i saw a little cap with a spring coming out . Any idea
about what it is for?
Nice video , mine split yesterday so doing now after watching your tutorial
thanks
Thanks a lot , did it under 10 mins
Great job. Thanks i am about to do this job. Only comment would be to not
use the screwdriver to pry directly against the paint; you could use a rag
as a buffer between or find another surface to pry against. Could damage
the paint and cause the engine bay to start rusting. But not a huge deal.
Thanks!
Thanks, I had same problem it, will try to repair this weekend .
Thanks a lot Carl for taking the time to make this video. Very good.
Great video, Good information, good pictures, Best I have seen. Just
bought a 2003 330 CI, Same problem. I feel Much better now. Thanks
dont forget antifreeze other wise same will happen :)
Hello , I’m french , thank you for your vidéo and for your help !!!
good job that electronic sensor magnet reader you can test with magnet and
multimeter at 6:00
Great work.This will help me do mine now.+1 on BMW parts only.
great video. while your in there, its always a good idea to replace the
hoses on the upper and lower. its been my experience that when you have a
chance and you are in the E46, replace as much as you can. especially if
you are replacing parts due to aging. chances are everything else is aging.
so in this instance, replace the hoses and also consider replacing the
radiator. believe it or not, replacing the entire cooling system is
extremely easy on these cars. and cheap if parts ordered online.
Thanks for the video i needed it
Nice job! I plan to do this myself and your video is a big help.
Just had the hairline crack on my tank this evening found your video very
intuitive. Getting part tomorrow and following your steps to fit. Thanks
for your video.
