Really so simple us a video ,but after I finish the job every thing was ok, then a got a check engine p052b , run roff idle really bad to move with it help please !??
Sick Video!
Thanks Tim. I've watched this several times before doing the valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets on my 2010 328xi today. Everything went smoothly except I forgot(!) to plug the Valvetronic motor in. Of course it didn't start. Can I plug and go? Or have I screwed up the camshaft position and need to do the relearn programming?
OK can anybody explain to me exactly how much this repair normally costs?
Great video. Followed all the steps and successfully replaced the gasket BUT something weird started happening shortly thereafter: when I start the car pressing the brake pedal down, the engine revs up and down as if I was pushing and releasing the accelerator every second. When I let go of the brake pedal, the revving up and down stops and everything goes back to normal. I press the brake pedal and the revving starts again. This only happens when I first start the car for the day. After I've driven it for a while, the revving disappears when the brake pedal is depressed. It looks like the problem fixes itself while I drive the car. But then it comes back the next day after the car's been idle for the night.
I tried to find the possible cause online but couldn't find the exact symptoms I'm experiencing. I read about brake fluid leaking and other things, but I don't understand how my replacing the valve cover gasket could have introduced this problem. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot in advance for your expect advice, everyone!
PERFECTLY EXECUTED Step by step process without any editing. Great way to show and explain every step.
