BRANDGEFAHR am BILLIGSTEN 7er BMW! (schnell reagiert)

Summary

In this spontaneous video, the team encounters an emergency situation with a vehicle experiencing a fuel leak due to a damaged gasoline line. The issue begins during a drive when an unpleasant smell of gasoline arises, leading to the discovery of a leaking fuel line. The team urgently addresses the problem by tightening a connection, but realizes the fuel hose must be replaced to prevent dangerous leaks near hot engine parts. After obtaining a new hose from a trusted BMW dealer, they face challenges installing it, including cutting it to size and dealing with special clamps. Despite several problems, including a non-functional heating system and concerns about coolant, the team successfully resolves the fuel leak, emphasizing the importance of quick action in emergency vehicle repairs.
