I read somewhere, maybe here, to keep them clean with WD40 occasionally. It will keep them from cracking prematurely. Anyone have experience with this?
As far as the the X5 today - she got a new AUC sensor. I got sick of looking at that code and broke down and ordered a new one from FCP when I was on their site restocking door push fasteners and various rivets, blind and otherwise for the wheel wells, cowl, interior bits, etc. Popped it in, cleared the code, ran some tests and voila, the X5 is as clear of codes as it has been in 10 years. A transitory state I'm sure.
The only one I have is the 4.6 only code for the vacuum activated extra intake flap which opens at high RPM. I wonder if I am loosing any real power without that function operating? I've still got my 4.4 intake tract, filter box, etc. and all the air pump hardware is gone and coded out (this same system triggers the intake flap on the 4.6 models).
