Unfortunately no good indies where I live; lost my trust. One good thing I can say about our dealership is they fix stuff right the first time.

FCP-Euro offers a kit including the GPM control module for $327. You need a bit of elbow grease and some anti-seize off Amazon. All-in DIY for $350 I'd think.

Just ignore it. Eventually you can buy a new car.
Best plan to save money. |

I recognize the sarcasm, but after $13k in repairs in 5 years, it's getting harder and harder to accept fixing stuff if the vehicle can still take me from Point A to Point B. I can live with rough starts in winter if that's all it is.

^$216/mo ownership costs isn't terrible when you compare it to buying a new vehicle. The wife and I are looking for a 3-row vehicle now with a warranty due to kids and aging parents, going to cost us ~$600/mo for a Telluride or Pallisade. I could only imagine the payment on a new X5, or worse, X7.
At least I'll never have to work on it. Gotta find that silver lining. That's even better than I thought. Will have to check my records but I'm sure we paid more than that for the wife's truck's parts.

Sure you can ignore, but there's zero chance all of this partially burnt fuel is good for the troublesome catalyst and emission systems on diesels.
