Hi Everyone, I'm new here and new to X5 ownership. I have done some extensive reading on this and other forums about some common issues with the X5D. Low and behold, I have some of the common issues and would like some opinions.
Some background info on the car:
Has 180000km when i purchased car, car seems to run a drive great when i first purchased! no visible leaks of any sort on ground. Does seem to use a bit of oil but since the car is new to me I just did an oil change and will monitor level. I have put about 5k on the car since ive owned it and have recently just purchased Carly Dongle as the engine light is on. codes were related to NOx sensor and egr cooler plausibility(happened before i purchased), but recently the car stalled accelerating from a stop light. Pulled over turned car off then started back up fine. Car seems to drive fine using light acceleration ( have not attempted to full throttle since before researching issue )
First issue is needing a new thermostat. (temps barely reach 72c with ambient temp around 5c)
Q-Is it worth replacing the waterpump and trany thermostat as well since I would potentially save on labor while mechanic is in doing work?
Second issue is the aforementioned stalling on acceleration. This registered a 4B99 code or bank 2 injectors. Looked at the plastic partitions at the back of the engine and all 3 are cracked. leading me to suspect #5 injector. I plan to meter the injectors tonight and remove foam piece.
Q-Is there a certain way to test if the injector is bad and will need to be replaced? Or once this starts happening the injector is on its way out?
And finally i am stuck with BMW kingston, which i have no experience with. Does anyone from ontario know of a great indy shop (if my car can make it there) thanks for any insight!
