From a driver's point of view who was struggling to understand frequent oil top ups needed and blue smoke when struck in the traffic and having some oil smell inside the cabin on some days and no visible oil leaks, some days car driving fine and on the days feeling a bit sluggish - this video is one of the greatest on KZfaq. If I was a king I would be so happy to make this guy the 😊general of my army😂

I got my car checked for a coolant leak but they said that i also needed my vlv seals replaced. Based on the information you provided that's the case. Thanks 👍🏾

I used AT-205 reseal and it has slowed down oil consumption considerably on bmw n63 motor with leaking valve seals.

How is that working today? How often do you add the AT205? This product should rejuvenate the seals back to near original. Your thoughts…! Please.

Thank you. Well presented. I am using this as a guide to assess my motor's valve seal condition.

@@MechanicBase As it turns out, compression is good and solid across all cylinders, so I am assuming that the valve seals are good and some other problem--perhaps crankcase ventilation issues--is causing the oil consumption problems I am seeing.

I have the impression that if the engine burns a lot of oil then a compression test should be done and if it is ok then something else is the culprit and they don't think that it could be bad oil rings. The engine on my car has overheated once so I think there is a high chance that one or more oil rings could be damaged because of that.

I wonder if BMW has observed that most of the cars on KZfaq that burn a lot of oil are BMWs.

What if the car doesn’t smoke but it still comsume oil

If a car doesn't smoke but still consuming a lot of oil, then check your wiskey bottles! 😇😌🥴🍾🍷🍸

Maybe the catalytic converter hides most of the smoke. My car burns around 1L/2500km and there is just a tiiiiny puf at start-up. No leaks.

You dont have to take off timing chain,trust me!just put emergency brake on or if its manual make sure you have it in gear!
@SooSmokie3 ай бұрын
NO! you don't want the car in gear otherwise you cannot rotate the crank shaft to get TDC. E brake only
@leeverink326 ай бұрын
my garage said it could cost up to 300 if they did not replace the timing belt.
