Flat rate mechanic here again and we got this BMW in here for a check engine light and we got a couple of codes we got a p0491 and a p0492 BMW secondary air injection so we got some kind of air injection problem as far as the flow goes and I just wanted to go over what we found when we were diagnosing this basically the first thing we did we pulled out the this is the actual air injection pump itself we just disconnected it if I applied power and ground here pumps seem to be working fine so we went ahead and did is um if you look down here the air pump this usually is going to mount right over here like this
We pulled this up so we could get to the diverter valve here um the diverter valve is controlled by vacuum and this vacuum line goes to a vacuum electronic vacuum switch which is located down behind the intake here so we tried activating this with a scan tool we weren’t getting any airflow we did verify we weren’t getting any airflow the air pumps coming on so all that stuff’s good on what we found is we’ve got a there’s actually if you follow this vacuum line down behind the intake you got a check valve here and the vacuum hose was actually actually broken off so the vacuum switching valve wasn’t supplying power or wasn’t oh wasn’t flying back into the diverter valve so let me see if I can actually see back yeah I don’t think you guys are going to be able to see that but the vacuum switching valve is right behind here and it connects to a port in the back of the intake manifold so ultimately what’s going to fix this one is just repairing as simple as repairing you know this rotted out vacuum line so we’ll fix that verify the repair and hopefully this BMW will be good to go thanks for watching if it’s helpful be sure to hit the Thumbs Up And subscribe to the flat rate mechanic

Headlight Restoration DIY Preparation And Protection That Will Last OK Like the title says be talking about Headlight Restoration DIY Preparation And Protection That Will Last
I’m going to bust all the headlight restoration myths in this video and explain what really works to keep your headlights looking like new for years to come if your headlights have become hazy oxidized and starting to yellow this is the video for you.
Due to all the misinformation out there plus all the feedback I have gotten on the headlight restoration video I did over a year ago. I have come to a method everyone can agree with and if you know of better headlight restoration and protection practices be sure to comment below with what works for you.
Products in this video:
**Nano-glass-ceramic coating designed specifically for polycarbonate headlight https://amzn.to/2O3qCR5
I will also be referring to it a lot in this video because the preparation method will
be the same and definitely the best way hands down to fix your UV damaged headlights. Were a lot of the controversy comes in is when it comes to how you should protect your freshly restored
plastic headlight
And there are many different ways, all with there advantages and disadvantages as well as the price and time and skill it will take. I will be answering all
questions in this video.
Depending on the condition of your headlights, weather it just is some light fading
or some very bad oxidation and yellowing
Or maybe the factory clear code is starting to chip from the headlight lens.
This will determine how you should go about restoring your headlight.
If the factory protectant layer is still intact I would just recommend a light polish with a 3000 grit sandpaper and a light compound I like to use from 3m
