How to replace Windshield wipers, BMW 330i 2006 E90

Windshield Wiper Replacement

BMW 330i 2006 E90

It's that time of the year when the blades of my E90 have started to look worn out.  But no big deal it's actually VERY easy to replace,

These are the procedures follow the steps 1 through 4 below.

One Blade is longer than the other, one is 24 Inches and other is 19 Inches.

The Driver side is longer

Step 1:

Pull on the plastic cover like this: up and away

It pops out, don't be afraid of it, then put it off to the side

Note: if you don't have the cover, see a link at the bottom for a replacement from Amazon, if it's loose it can go flying off...

Step 2:

Then pull the wiper up and away from Windshield

Step 3:

Then twist half turn, counter clockwise, the whole wiper blade, the entire wiper blade should moves very easy, it's not attached or anything it should freely move,...  like you need to flip the wiper blade upside down.

It should look like this: picture below

Step 4:

Then slide out.

Then finally put the new ones back on.  Then do reverse procedure.

Don't forget the plastic cover, make sure it snaps back into place.  If it's lose it will go flying off!

I use Bosch brand they are a bit more expensive but worth it.  They usually last me a few years.

I typically get them at Autozone, ask them for help.  They should be able to help.

Just tell them you need Wiper Blades for BMW 330i 2006, Bosch brand.  They are going to figure out which lengths you need and you just go and get them.  They usually have different lengths.

Good luck to you, and if you find this post helpful please let me know...

until next time.

Oxygen Sensor Replacement: P2247

Oxygen Sensor Replacement: P2247
(E90 330I 2006 BMW)

This time I am going to tell you about Error code P2247, which is Bank 2, Sensor 1.

It actually gave a "Check Engine Light", I plugged in my error code reader, and it actually also gave me error code P0155, as well as P2247.

Replacing an Oxygen Sensor is not very complicated, but it does require a special tool.  An Oxygen Sensor removal tool, you can borrow from Autozone, if you buy the Sensor from there.  Here is a picture of what I got:

NOTE:
you have to run the car To Temperature for the car to recognize that it's a new Oxygen sensor: 
- I ran my car for about 5 minutes,
- Turned the car off, and back ON
- Then cleared the code
If you try to clear it too soon, it will not work.  Be patient.

Which sensor is Bank 2 Sensor 1: It is the sensor that is closer to the firewall, on top of the engine.  Pre Catalytic converter.

NOTE: 
Bank 2 Sensor 1 is : Gay color (cable harness) (Code P2247)
Bank 2 Sensor 2 is Black Color (cable harness)  (Not sure what code is)

Faul codes

Note the color of the cables on Sensor 1 and sensor 2.  Bank 1 and 2.

Remove Heat Shield:
To get to the Bank 2, Sensor 1, you have to remove this (Heat Shield):

You have to remove this, otherwise there is no room to put tool on the sensor 

Bottom view of  heat shield: Bank 2 sensor 1

Don't touch the sensor part of the Sensor, it comes covered with plastic

New sensor comes with Anti-seize, ready to install:

Connecor

Note the Length too, it's not a short wire harness, NOTE it's gray color.

Bank 2 sensor 1, is the one on the left, to disconnect.
You can follow it back to see which one it is.  If you are not sure.

Cost: $161.99 at Autozone  3/21/2018 Oxygen Sensor

Good luck replacing your sensor, thank you for reading my post.
