suggestion from dealer
I just brought my 04 x5 4.4 with 33,000km for oil change. The dealer calls me back that they suggest my car needs to have a coolant flush, and a fuel injector flush. are these neccessary? is coolant flush for every 4 years? How about fuel injector flush? what does that do? how often? The above 2 jobs cost around $350. Please help.. Thanks

I'm not sure about the necessity of these services. My question would to the SA would be, if this stuff was "necessary", wouldn't it be covered under the service plan?

OEM coolant is good for 4 years+. Make sure you ALWAYS user the OEM coolant or "DEXCOOL" coolant (orange color). NEVER USE THE GREEN STUFF as its old technology and will compromise the coolant system.
All fuels have injector cleaners in them. ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR ADDITIONAL TREATMENT if the vehicle is running correctly.

After you dodge the Stlr on his coolant/injector pitch,
you might request a brake fluid flush; the rec'd is buried in the manual, and it should be free under the "free Maint". Rec'd every two years. GL,md

Ask these questions.
#1 The service you are performing is under warranty correct? #2 If the car needs to have a coolant flush, and a fuel injector flush are these items covered under warranty? If so where in the warranty schedule are they located? #3 If you are suggesting these items because BMW requires this service then why are you trying to charge for something that is covered under warranty. #4 If you are suggesting that these items need to be done before the scheduled maintaince are they not covered anyway. #5 If you are suggesting these items and they are not on the warranty schedule then what's your motivation?
