Anyone have a BMW Y fitting part specs? OD / ID of the fitting? Or potentially the BMW metal version? Here's the VAG Y fitting: [IMG]https://c1552172.ssl.cf0.rackcdn.com/545105_x800.jpg[/IMG]

deaerate cooling circuit?
Thank you for this great thread!
Is it necessary to deaerate the cooling circuit after disconnecting the Y-Adapter, and fix with the metal version? (Will there run out lots of water for some reason in the moment of disconnection?) Thank you! Rocky |

I completely drained the coolant before I did this step. I don't think there is any other way. I also used a vacuum technique to add the coolant, and even then I had to do the procedure of running the coolant circuit to completely get rid of all the air in the system.

Thank you.
What vacuum tools did you use to fill with coolant? Are you sure there is coming coolant out, if I disconnect the Y-Part? I mean, because the Y-part is located at a very high point. |

I used this one:
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...IaAr2fEALw_wcB The Y is very much higher than the coolant tank, so lots will run out. It is MUCH easier to pull the alternator (disconnect the battery first!) than to try to do this by remote tools. |

The turbo coolant lines are higher than that Y junction. I don't think a lot of coolant will come out but there will be some. Also don't use the bmw part to replace it with. I just did my valve seals and that Y junction that i replaced a year ago fell apart into two pieces when I touched it. Just get a 3/8 T and use the same hoses.

My 550 recently started leaking coolant. It appears to be from the plastic Y. I was searching for a replacement hose and noticed there is now a redesigned hose that appears to be reinforced around the nipple area to prevent this issue anymore. It also looks like the hose is molded/glued so you won't have to worry about clamps either. Just wanted to put this info out there for anyone that has this issue in the future.

Has anyone given this version of the coolant hose a try? Just wondering if it does hold up any better than the Genuine BMW hose before I place my order.

Wye connector
Do you think this would be better than just a straight t. I also looked into stainless. I think stainless may be overkill.

Thought about going this route but the rubber hose is leaking as well where it connects to the metal pipe attached to the turbo. I just ended up getting the entire hose assembly from BMW for $65. If the plastic T lasts 60k miles, I'm good with that.
