Good day everyone,
I am owning X5 2001, 3.0 Automatic. Recently I got a strange sound from under the vehicle. After I lifted up I found the noise comming from the Transfer Case (box) NV125 model. I am assuming it may be the bearings since the sound goes only when the front drive shaft (the one which goes to the front wheels) is active. It also may be the chain inside. I checked with BMW and found this unit to be extremely expensive here in Canada (over 4K with labor). Since I am mechanic I think I may open it and try to rebuild.
My problems are: where to get rebuild kit for this box ? Also I need bearings and chain. I did a search on the net and found nothing
Well, I found a chain only, but no kit and no bearings. Did any one from this forum tried to fix this issue with transfer case by him self ? Does any one have any suggestions on this ? Maybe you may suggest me where to get parts or some source of tech info regarding the transfer box. I am planing to open it on this weekend in order to estimate what is wrong inside, but I want to make sure that I may be able to get these parts.
I would apreciate any help. And sorry for my English (I am French Canadien)
Thank you to anyone who respond.
