Service Procedure

NOTE: Filter kit installation procedure shown as performed on a Versa Hatchback. The procedure for Versa Sedan is similar.

1. Remove the rear bumper fascia. Refer to the appropriate ESM as needed.

2. Remove the existing hoses, black box and white connector from the vehicle (see Figure 1).

a. Remove the black box from the white connector and then the white connector from the body bracket (see Figure 2).

NOTE: Save the white connector. It will be reused. The black box will not be reused.

CAUTION: Be careful not to bend the body bracket.

b. Remove the hose and its fastening clip from the body stud.

Pry back on the clip’s tab and then pull it off (see Figure 3).

3. Drill two 7/32 inch (5 mm) holes in the bracket (see Figure 4).

Figure 4

Drill the holes about 1 inch (25 mm) from the edge of the bracket (black arrows), with about 3/4 inch (19 mm) spacing in between (red arrow in Figure 4).

NOTE: Measurements are taken from the center of the holes.

Do not drill any part of the spot weld. Adjust the drilled hole location(s) as needed.

NOTE: The bracket and/or its spot weld may not be in the exact same location when compared to other like vehicles. This is normal.

4. Prep the holes you just drilled as follows:

a. Remove burrs from the edge with a file or sandpaper.

b. Clean the hole with solvent and allow to completely dry.

c. Apply / cover all bare metal with zinc-rich primer.

d. Allow primer to dry approximately 1 hour.

5. Using a suitable pop rivet tool, install the two sealed-type blind rivets supplied in the filter kit (see Figure 5).

versa tech tip 6
Figure 6

NOTE: Do not use any rivets other than the ones in the kit.

6. Coat / spray the rivets and the area around them with bitumen wax.

7. Assemble the two hoses, existing white connector, filter and bracket (see Figure 6).

8. Apply a thin layer of liquid gasket about 1/8 inch (3 mm) wide to the areas shown with white lines (as specified in Figure 7).

9. Snap in place the filter bracket to the body bracket (see “a” in Figure 8).

10. Secure the hose clip by pushing it onto the body stud until it bottoms out (see “b” in Figure 8).

11. Connect the hose to the body fitting (see “c” in Figure 8).

12. Reinstall the bumper fascia. Refer to the ESM for installation procedure as needed.

13. Clear any DTCs stored in the ECM.

Transmission Line Replacement

Transmission fluid likes to be at a constant temperature. If it is too hot or too cold for too long, the performance can fluctuate and potentially cause damage to the transmission.

Transmission fluid likes to be at a constant temperature. If it is too hot or too cold for too long, the performance can fluctuate and potentially cause damage to the transmission.
If the fluid is at a constant temperature, it behaves in a consistent manner in terms of its friction and lubrication properties. What can help control the temperature is the transmission cooling circuit.
The path of the fluid in the transmission lines is not as much about the destination as the journey. The size and length of the transmission lines, along with the size of the cooler, controls the temperature of the fluid. Also, the size of the engine and weight of the vehicle can determine the design of the transmission fluid cooling circuit.
Another thing to consider is how a modified transmission with a larger transmission cooling circuit might do more damage than good. On modern vehicles, the cooling circuit is designed to manage the fluid temperatures during startup. If the fluid can’t warm up quickly due to the increased volume, damage to the transmission friction surfaces can occur. The same goes for a bypassed cooling circuit. Why? Because fluid that is too hot can damage friction surfaces.

A clogged oil separator valve is a common problem on many BMW DOHC inline sixes. The high failure rate is caused by sludge build-up that can result in oil burning, rough idle and engine fault codes. Although the solution is pretty simple, replacing the valve is labor intensive and can take anywhere from six to nine hours.

Oil Bath Air Filters

Long before people started using cotton gauze air filters soaked in oil, the oil bath air filter was the dominant filter on the market. The filter removes debris in the air by running it over oil and a mesh element. These filters worked great when most roads were dirt, but they could be messy to clean.
