Hi guys,
Finally got the X5 back. Had a lot done, but there is still some work to do.
Completed
- valley pan and gasket
- intake manifold gasket
- bank 1 valve cover and CCV cold weather update (ouch)
- valve cover gaskets
- top main coolant artery
- pile of seals, gaskets o-rings as part of above
- tensioner pulleys
- plugs
- coolant flush
- oil
- diff and transfer case fluids
- power steering lines and fluid
To Do
- transmission fluid/filter, reset (indy says needs new pan with filter, ECS has different kits, dealer says order all the parts separate - need to figure out)
- transfer case reset (need comm cable as the one I have for E36 won't work)
- brake flush (I won't let a shop touch my brakes, so I need the comm cable to cycle things properly)
- alignment check (I'll do manually - I have decent results with my track car, so why not with the X
)
- debug the clunk in front end under sharp braking (everyone says it's fine, but I'm not buying it)
- hitch (need to hunt for an OE hitch and buy ECS wire kit)
- pile of trim and cosmetic nuances (going to a few wreckers to scour parts)
I'll probably start separate threads for some of the above To Do list.
Cheers.
