My client hit a retread in the freeway. Took out his wear sensor but also knocked his brake pads out of alignment. The pads ended up about 4mm off the disc and started to wear funny also squeal which is how I found out it even happened. You can twist the wires together to remove the dash light while waiting for a part FYI.

You may have to do what I did when I replaced mine, drill a small hole in it. The replacement cap was a tighter fit than the original and wouldn't allow the air in the tank to escape when it was heated up. That pushed the washer fluid out through the washer nozzles. I think the original fit looser and allowed air to escape. After I drilled the hole, no more problem.

The 2004 E53 with about 138k miles needs some repairs.
Alternator failed so on replacement I am going to replace the OFHG. The PCV is not working as I am experiencing a huge increase in oil consumption so I am replacing that too. While that is out replacing the intake manifold gasket. Lastly the fuel pump is on the fritz. Going to get a fuel pressure test first. If that needs changing is there anything else anyone can suggest? The lifetime fuel filter maybe? Thanks in advance. Brad

Thanks for the reply.
This E53 is new to me in the last two years with no service records. I have done some regular maintenance. During a state inspection the suspension was looked at and I was told it looked good and I have done nothing to it. Don't notice anything driving wise with the suspension or mounts. Thinking of the flex disc I was wondering if sometimes on clutch uptake a small shudder occurs but that could just be my nearly 45 years of learning how to manually shift. Thanks again, Brad

Try the speed bump test.
Go over a speed bump with JUST enough speed that the tires get to "fall" off the backside not launch and if you hear a lite thunk it's the bushings (short arm on the upside of the speed bump, long arm on the drop) Engine, transmission mounts will give a vibration in gear at a stop and guibos can too. I believe your engine is one that had possible issues with the harmonic balancer rotting away but not positive and I'm sure the others who're more knowledgeable on your engine will chime in shortly.
