And then the maintenance...

[mam4.6]

So.... I just got my X back from the my mechanic, and here's the list!

1 starter
1 battery
1 fan clutch
1 water pump
1 oil cooler bracket gasket
valve cover gaskets
1 upper timing change cover gasket
1 lower timing chain cover gasket
1 engine mount
1 thermostat
timing chain tensioner

So I should be good for awhile right?! I hope so... Hopin to start on my mods soon... I want to detail it today, and I'll post some pics up later....

I dont see cooling system flush with all that works to it.
You should be good for a little while.

1 engine mount? I'd highly recommend you do both at the same time.

Wheel sensors
CCV
valve guides
ABS module
timing change guides

That should complete your list.

Timing chain guides were just replaced, my mechanic checked that out when he was in there. The motor mount still seemed pretty solid, but I guess i probably should of changed it. I'm sure I'll get plenty of chances have my X worked on yet!

What was your stimulus to the economy with all that?

2002 X5 3.0 237,000 miles
2004 325i 106,000 miles

How did you manage to do the guides without the timing chain gaskets? The tensioner should have been done, too.

With the starter, not sure how to know that it's "going bad" unless it stops starting!

I do think the cooling system overhaul is smart $.

I doubt the shop will reuse the old coolant when they take out the waterpump. I think a coolant flush is implied.

^They might just re-fill the coolant after the work. It must be on the paperwork to get paid for. Otherwise, I would assume the re-fill.
I get your point, however.
