Cool tip on the oil filter housing, Keith. It's EURO time at New Level Auto ;)

Exactly the info we need. I like to give back some info aswell. Here in the UK I see alot of those engines and the sealing rings on the end of the camshaft wear out (They create the oil gallery for the oil to flow into the VVT pulley). This creates an internal oil leak and also causes those fault codes to be logged. In extreme cases the oil pressure light will be on. The way to check if this is the case is by pulling the vanos solenoids and if there is metallic swarf in the solenoid filters then the camshaft oil sealing rings are knackered. It is that common it should be part of your diagnostic procedure. Hope this info will help you out one day.

I always appreciate your tips! Thanks for taking time to make videos

Great day at New Level Auto,I love it! Keep’em coming! 😁 It’s amazing how many tests you can run on these cars right from the driver’s seat if you have the proper tool! I’ve ran that same test using another tool and it wasn’t changing anything : that was either the tool’s fault or it was happening because that engine was indeed out of time. 👍

Great tip and video as always Keith, I wish I can get to your level of diagnosing (a lot of us wish that 😜). Thanks for providing useful tips (not everyone in the youtube world do so) that can actually help us diagnosing those hard to find problems. Keep up the good work, I wish you the best. 👍

Man this is awesome you are the man Keith.

I have learn a tone of staff from you , thanks for sharing

Great info again on BMW Keith thanks for your time and free education

Thank you Keith. Good job.

Keith, another great informative video!!

Great tips Keith, now enough play, time to work 😉

Good to see autologic back in the game.

Great info Keith. I'm off to watch the remaining parts of Maics BMW series. Thanks!

Those BMW keys have two varieties. The proximity (Comfort Access) keys have a replaceable CR2032 battery and don't need to be inserted. The non comfort access keys do have to be inserted but also have a rechargable battery and cannot be easily opened. Both have the blade key that comes out.

Thanks for the video.

Thanks, good info!

I would like to add that you should check the small o-ring on the filter cap, some cheap filter kits don't come with that o-ring and they need to be changed otherwise there is nothing keeping the oil up in the housing.

Oil volume/pressure loss through cam bearing ledge on older ones. It can be intermittent. Something to pay attention too if you still have the faults after all this has been addressed.

Cool. Thanks for the info. What type of scanner are you using please. Specification please. Thanks.

How do you like the assist plus?
