Thank you everyone for sharing information. I finally could find only one place that had that vacuum pump and got it done with vacuum pump and used HT12 LC18 green Bmw coolant and mixed 50 50 with drinking water. As waterpump was removed the amount of coolant came out was more than the second...

For low and high temp systems bleeding procedure is different, however none of them worked on my car although I exactly did same as the helpful bmw mechanics on youtube.

Update: I ended up removing the filter and replacing it. 5 days old filter came out in good condition together with the cap so it was a waste of time energy and money. I did the process correct way however as I was too gentle and unsure that all was okay while trying to push and screw the cap...

Another question, did the cap clicked on filter with this type of installation and did cap came together with the filter afterwards when you uninstalled at next oil change? Do you remember?

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Filter was put in and he made sure that the nipple with blue o ring sat then he gently screwed the lid. In all cases I will change just the filter but I worry if the filter did not click then when i will be trying to remove it either the nipple of filter or the...

Thank you. Were they just coolant change (drain and fill) or a waterpump replacement at this b48 engine as well?

I can not find vacuum fill at the country I am living at the moment. Have no time to get it here from overseas which takes months as I can not get it shipped by laws too. So my question is for B48 engine waterpump replacement work, is the vacuum fill pump essential or optional?

Hello all, I also need to get the leaky waterpump of my 2020 Bmw 320i 1.6lt with B48 gasoline engine. Only concern is that I can not find any service that use vacuum pump to do the coolant fill process. They all say that they do it as drain , replace water pump and refill from both of...

Thanks for your comment however the response from edyvw here at this thread is way different and made me worry more even.

I am planning to buy new filter and filter cap. Am i taking risk trying to remove it now? Is it possible that housing might have been damaged even after he ensured that the bottom tip of the filter sat correctly?

Is there a chance to need to change the oil again?

Thanks for trying to comfort me but car is not mine and next time i will do oil change myself will be September or October and car will probably have 3000 or 3500 miles until that time. As i said he did it wrong but very slowly he even took it out to check and made sure that all was in place and...

What your oil filter look like? Does the little bottom tip with little oring at the center or close to the edge? Can you post a picture of it please?

i do not want that because the quality of work will be even worse after that argument. i can buy a new filter and replace the filter myself but as i am in other city i do not have enough tools to get the filter out if it is stuck or to repeat the oil change work with even new oil if some parts...

Hello all, I got an early oil change at a service instead of doing the work on my own as I was at other city. My question is the service guy installed the filter into the housing first and then tightened the cap which is definitely wrong procedure. I was always lubricating the center of the...

Lastly as I research the BMW part number 83222413512 on google I see that even genuine BMW fluid is for non limited slip differentials but I find this info from part sellers websites which can be wrong. So is my differential limited slip or non limited slip? Does anyone have any idea? Febi also...

Okay thank you very much Martinq

Thanks but I wrote wrong Bmw G3 is 70w80 not 75w85. Annoying thing is to change the first cold temp. weight from 70 to 75 is it still okay? Will 70w80 which is the recommended oil, wear it out much quicker ? BMW does not recommend 70w80 for no reason, but on the other hand I know how hungry...

Thanks for the ideas. OE fluid from Bmw dealer is very expensive. As I stated earlier I can only get Febi 75w80 hypoid G1 GL5 and Febi 75w85 Hypoid G3 GL5. Both has bmw recommendations. 70w80 is for my G20 as I see but it says until 2 / 20 and my car was produced at 7/ 20 which is a little bit...

I also do not believe that 5 point viscocity difference would kill a diff. then why does Royalautoservice say that? By the way this product of Ravenol, 1221112 RAVENOL VGL SAE 70W-80 also have the BMW part number that I need as recommendation on the bottle but it is out of stock at the country...
