E53: Details on E53
E53 X5 3.0i SAV
E53 X5 4.4i SAV
E53 X5 4.8is SAV
And also was told that my front air suspension is leaking. So, my questions are:
1. Where the hell is this module located? i could not find it for nothing! I know its in the back, where the spare tire is. But where is it exactly? Any one know? Also, where can i get this part at the best price, i could not believe my ears when they said it cost 850.00 at the dealer! Any used yards you can recommend? or a good new parts retailer?
2. I was told i can buy just the rubber "air bags" and replace them instead of buying the entire air strut. Dealer does not sell these things but i hear you can get them aftermarket?
Thank you all for your help! |
To the best of knowledge, finding the module, which is located next to the spare tire, will not help you much as since you have to reprogram it. I would consider finding an independent European mechanic's shop who know what they're doing.
The rubber air bags are typically used in the rear. I recently bought a set and couldn't find them in the aftermarket. Went to the dealership and used the cca menbership card for a discount.
I highly recommend using a shop repair manual for this work. It was not the easiest job in terms of troubleshooting.
