Just finished a semi-big job/s on the new to us e53, 06 n62 4.4l.

Replaced fuel filter and pump (pump was the original from factory), the temp gauge was all over the place, so I replaced the dual sensor and fan switch sensors, which fixed the gauge issue, also thermostat was stuck open, so replaced that too.

I also decided to refresh the vanos solenoid seals, that ended up causing issues because the connector wires were shorting and the connectors were dirty. Cleaned that up and repaired the wires, all faults fixed and the V8 is running great!

All in all, the above took 5 hours and the car is fantastic, even with 302k km’s!
