Valve cover gasket end up to resolve an heater issue
Long story short, i always had that issue with my heater that, whatever temp a put between 18.5c to 32c it always feels like its 32c , no difference between 22c vs 32c... in the end i never repair this because all the BMW pro garage i went, they didnt point out the problem .... so i been living with that for the past 5 years..
so this week i went to the garage to replace a valve cover gasket and the grommets as well ... and guess what ? no more heater issue... i can now feel the difference between 24 vs 32 or what ever number.... so how a valve cover gasket replacement end up to resolve this heater issue... im curious, anyone can see how ??? |
I'm guessing the valve wiring was tweaked during the repair. Was stuck open but now works properly
|
Wire connections loose!
|
wire, like the ground wiring and stuff like that ?
|
I'm thinking more like loose connector that was pushed in tight while doing the other job

ok it can be ...
but the sad part is the following -i did some city drive since i got the car (near 40 miles) doing 60km/h everything A1 no burning oil smell - today i decide to make a trip and did some highway during 4 hours... at the beginning i didnt push the car that much doing 100- 110 km/h and there was no burning oil smell, but near the end of the trip i decide to floor it a couple time, did steady 130km/h and then start the oil burning smell ;( ...so one thing i didnt say, its i also have a oil filter housing leak, but i didnt replace, quote was 1000$+ ... so can i leak from there gave a burning oil smell ??? can it be old oil smell ??? .. IMO old oil burning smell should be gone by now , i drive near 40 miles with no oil burning smell , before the burning smell came today |

interesting, so it would be old oil ... or maybe crack valve cover but i guess they would have notice it and tell me...
|
is it ok to shoot some degreaser or brake cleaner ? knowing that it would spill everywhere on other component like belt , alternator etc .. i plan to use the whole bottle and generously spray it
|
Carb cleaner, brake clean all will wash off oil.
