e92 M3 Video - Engine Light* sparkplugs/coils/thermostat/airfilter/idlerpulley
After a morning at a Cars&coffee Meet, Car goes into Limp mode, then after an engine restart, car goes into service engine soon. Car ECU says emissions related. Being far from home, I decide to go into a nearby BMW shop
150 dollars inspection later, I have a $3600 bill for fixing engine errors and recommended services. Being mechanically inclined and having a mechanic friend, I decide to do work myself. Codes(using Creader Pro CRP123): p0307, p0308, p0300, p0155 Misfire codes & O2 Sensor Bank2 sensor1 Decided to do some maintenance : sparkplugs 4/8 coils thermostat idlerpulley(making noises) Both Drive belts Active Autowerke air filter - still need to do O2 sensor Engine limp mode and misfire codes reappear at times(usually at long idles) O2 sensor should fix all this...i hope Here is all this work being done in a video with cinematic approach This is not a DIY video, but ill gladly help with any questions.

Nice Video but I thought you're never suppose to use petroleum jelly on rubber gaskets. It should be silicone gel.

If the O-Rings are made from rubber, yes petroleum jelly will destroy them over time. Not recommended. Wetting these rings with coolant is all that is needed.
