X5 Fart (update) and a *huffing* heat fan

[Tominizer]

Not too long ago I posted a thread about my farting X5. I took it to an independent yesterday and long story short, without them knowing that the car recently hydrolocked and was repaired with the (apparently) new oil sep valve system, he says that the farts are the oil sep valve. So what does that mean???? I told him it was just replaced. He said, well someone either messed up in the installation OR they never did install it. So back to the stealership it goes tomorrow morning. Stay tuned. Once again, the problem is that you shut off our 3.0i auto and 2 seconds later there's a vacuum sucking noise that is quite loud.

Next......

Our heating system pulses (the fan speed) sometimes on lower to medium speeds. Anyone ever had this ???? Fix ????



Last.........

The *tick* noise has still never been resolved. Noticable from the centre of the dash area while driving. It is not speed related and is not apparent at idle. Sounds like an exhaust cooling after hard driving.

If ANYONE has any ideas, greatly appreciate your input on any of these things.


Cheers
