BMW repairs without the frantic energy
Fixing a jumpy BMW gauge cluster
This was my journey to fixing the issues with my green LED lights flashing on while driving and the MPG gauge jumping back and forth quickly. The repair was performed on a 1991 BMW 318i, affectionately called the E30.

How to replace the gaskets in a BMW heater valve for E31, E32, E34, E36. Part Number: 64118391417 Search for "E34 Heater Valve Gasket Set" on eBay or other shopping platform.
You re a natural for tutorials, congrats ! Have to do the same to my E39 but havent found the courage yet :)
So entertaining to watch! I am subscribed
I tore apart my 22 year old valve on my M5. The seals were perfect! I guess running it on genuine BMW coolant all it's life has been worth it in the end.
I put a M20 in a 91 318is and swapped in a 6 cylinder coding plug and it worked beautifully. This was years ago and it wasn’t your average m20 it was stroked and board to 2.9l with 10.3 compression and a big cam. It would destroy a stock e36 M3 but doesn’t even come close to my e46 M3. But I miss that car more than I like the M because I built it. Everything custom was me down to learning how to tune it myself. Not much other than cosmetic upgrades for the e46 M3. It's been voted several times on BMW forums that the e46 M3 won best BMW every built. There is nothing much I can do to improve it causes it is pretty good from the factory. Of course it has suspension, trans, engine and a few other mods but I am not creating a car you can never buy like I did with the E30. I really wish I could get it back because I would take it in a second.
What an awesome E30 and sad story to hear you don't have it anymore. This is a good reminder to hold on to the things you can't get back!
@@CalmBMWRepair definitely I had it for so long and I swapped it for a e46 M3. It’s superior in every way except I didn’t build it.
@@CalmBMWRepair it had a factory glass sunroof vey rare. I had to buy a car to get it and I did and put a metal back in solid if and got my sunroof for free.
Good job good explication and good images
Bran new heater valve is $60 is it worth to repair or get a new one NEW ONE NEW ONE.
Please come back, mate😢
Soon I will have a camera again. :D
@@CalmBMWRepair we are so back
Video well done with some humor 👍🏼. I need to do this as I get hot air all time on pass ever side only
I got slightly different valve version, but even though I was able to rebuilt the valve using this tutorial. Many thanks, heater works/cooler works great.
Absolutely love the video man I hope to see more someday. looks like its been a while. Very helpful for me taking apart my dash too
New videos are in the works!
Too funny this popped up in my feed - I had made the same video 10 years ago - time flies. One recommendation I have is to clean the actual plungers that seal off, but also pop the silver plate off and clean or polish the plunger shafts so they slide more freely, too. Coolant gets behind the rubber sealing washer plates and corrode the shafts. Good vid.
this was cathartic thank you!
This was great! I have a fuel gage that’s erratic. Fuel empty light comes on so I’m hoping it’s just the ground on the bezel that needs cleaning and not the fuel pump! Thank you!
The screw montage would've been more effective if "Eye of the Tiger" was playing.
I used this kit on my E38 and I am getting constant heat. Something tells me that the seals that go around the plungers are too tight and prevent the plunger from moving up and down. OEM design seal is thin rubber and moves up and down together with the plunger. With Chinese seal it has to rely on gap between the seal and the plunger to be able to move up and down. If the seal is too tight the plungers can't move.
You are absolutely correct. I have just done mine and the seal for the solenoid plunger is totally the wrong design. It should be a bellows which moves in and out with the plunger. I have drilled the rubber out slightly so that the plunger works now, but fear that the solenoid will now fill with water. I am going to try and source another kit from somewhere, but don't hold much hope. Excellent video though.
@@bobfrankish8883 i ended up getting a kit on Ebay from Ukraine.
Ok, no jammin *turns off the bob marley* Kinda wishin i was a lawyer rn lol
Very well done! 👏🏾👏🏾
Hey Frens - My "fix" stopped working after a few weeks. I researched this issue more and realized that no, 2.whatever volts is not enough on the SI batteries and they are, in fact, the problem. I switched them out with new ones and alas all is well! So let's move the slider on this video into the "entertainment" side of the board. I mistaked.
Informative and entertaining. Thank you.
What plug does the green cruise control go into?
There should be a plastic carrier that plugs in above and to the right of the yellow socket. The green plug goes into that carrier. If you are retro-fitting you might need to find one of the carriers.
parasın ben vereyim yenisi al dayı be .
Have to replace my heater valve on mine now, just going to replace the whole thing myself, got the whole unit for about $100. This video was definitely educational, now I understand what goes on inside to better understand how it works. The more you know.
another huge fail from B M Trouble U, damm hater valves ALL over the world giving problems; what a shame...
Great explaination
Thanks for this. Doable, but a little too much work for me.
Your voice and tone remind me so much of "RegularCar Reviews" guy.
We need more calm videos like this especially on BMW
More on the way!
😂😂😂
What specific batteries does the board take?
CR14250 if you have the later cluster with the 3v Lithium batteries. Fortunately, they are easy to source online with the tabs spot welded on!
This video is a piece of art. 😅
I've never seen anyone take apart the cluster like that
I thought the mpg gauge was vacuum operated
I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. I started working on my first car, a 1960 MBZ at age 17, so I have a lot of experience but those cars were so simple I could fix it with my eyes closed. I got a 94 BMW 525 for a steal but have an over heating problem. It came with a new radiator and I've replaced water pump, fan clutch, thermostat with new metal housing. Problem is I lose coolant? tightened the head, compression test (seems good). Spark plugs all look the same. Can't see any leaks under the car. I even looked under the air intake manifold. Looks dry. If I take it out for a 30 min drive I lose about an inch of water. The only thing I can think of is a bad head gasket but no steam coming out of the exhaust? Anybody have any ideas? Thanks ( I'm getting too old for this but can't afford to take it to a dealer!)
If it's not coming from underneath the car it's got to be in the heater box or out the exhaust :( Do you have wet carpets?
No wet carpets. Just ordered a new radiator cap. Unlikely but what the heck? Thanks
Great video!
I just keep rewatching this bcause its the best guide I ever seen. Logical guessing parts is my favorite. Keep making videos. I love it I got here bcause I got 1995 e38 with m60b30 with manual transmission. It keeps blowing hot air and if I turn blower off, it will keep heating center console lol. Think this might help.
I’m torn between wanting to relax or to go work on my e30. I think I will relax as I no longer own an e30.
c a l m
first
Hy mate! From were you buyed the gasckhet and orings?
my springs are gone. where can i find new ones? thanks
Careful touching coolant could cause birth defects, sniffles from around it could be causing it perhaps
PS great video. i think Leif got job as lawyer since we dont see new utubes!
I used a small bearing puller to pull plastic cylinders out carefully. you hook and pull rubber gasket out first and make sure to open wide enough. try not to mare the plastic on bottom as you want to reuse these.
I am stuck trying to get the two plastic cylinders out of the bottom part that has hose hookups. i cannot get a wiggle that will free it with my fingers
Fantastisk tørrvittig og sjarmerende video, i tillegg til svært instruktiv.

Hello, I have a no start on a 2002 320d e46, what I have noticed is when cranking the heat control valve gets really hot..you cannot touch it . Is that normal ?
Wow, you reminded me of Bob Ross the painter. Such a relaxing tutorial. Now I know how this mechanism works! Why just one video on BMW? Just curious.
Hello When I turn the key to posit II/engin off and heating off I can hear the auxilliary pum is working! I think something is wrong, that pump under this 2 valves should turn on when heating is on, should be off when heating is off, right?
This is a really good video!! You should make more
Para que se le cambia eso.?
That transparent plastic inside AUX pump tends to crack and start leaking coolant, did replace it more than once before brought brand new one.
