It was a one owner vehicle that a loca.dpctor owned...I agree the issue shouldn't be overlooked just because it seems to run so good. But to a simple man view point it almost wants to trick you. I have 4 other vehicles I have as daily drivers, I bought the X5 more as a fun little toy to tinker with. So I'm happy for it to sit there until I get it straightened out. I will look in that scan tool and see if it will do a Vanoss test. I guess in the worst case scenario even if I can't do that test I could always just pop them out and clean them up real good as you suggested. I did see in the warranty work that the heads were pulled off and redone last year as well because they suspected a valve seal issue. And the cooling system hoses and such were redone at the same time. I was told when I called the local dealership that all the work they performed last year was still indeed in warranty. But they couldn't tell me whether the issue I was currently having would be covered by that warranty.. and if I drop the car off I could be subject to fees if it's not.... In the past tinkering with cars I've had a lot of success being a part of forums like this because a lot of you guys have been there and done that. I will certainly tinker with that Vanoss situation over the weekend. And again I appreciate your help thus far
