What have you done to your E70 today?

[SF2000x5]

Drained the atf today. Should be around 80% new fluid (4qts being ~10k miles old)

[TriX5]

Drained trans fluid and transfer case fluid. Took the trans pan down while on a creeper, not fun! Left it to drain overnight.

Watching 24h Le Mans today so trans and TC will wait till Monday when also the diesel filter will come off and a fresh one put on. Then refill and freset adaptations on both trans and TC.

New EGR cooler & changed fluid in front differential.

Changed Gearbox Oil and discovered that the Gearbox Mount is gone too, hence I get a knocking sound every time I engage reverse, busy trying to find the part, damn expensive at the Dealer looking for alternatives!

Yesterday replaced the fuel filter, never fun. Buttoned up the trans and refilled it as well as the transfer case. It shifted better but still a bit edgy in DS. So, today hooked it up to ISTA and reset the TC and initiated the relearn on the transmission. Wow, shifts butter smooth in D and DS. Very happy I got around to this.

I do agree with the many that recommend a 60k interval for this. The liquid that comes out is thin and looks dark-ish.
On to engine mounts next. :-)

Camshaft adjuster seal. Old leaking seal has a 2013 manufacture date.

- Got my rear axle bearings replaced after hearing a roaring sound at speed. The sound is completely gone now.
- Replaced all 4 tires.
- Replaced the brakes all around with Power Stop pads and rotors. The pads I replaced only had about a sixteenth of an inch of wear surface left and the rotors had an eighth inch lip on them. They really don't maintain cars well here in Kuwait.
- Received my inner door handle replacements from Amazon. Eager to remove the sticky stock ones.
- Had my car detailed, polished and waxed. Looks showroom new, other than the damage from the previous owner.
- Found out the stock stereo can play music from a thumb drive.

That blue is gorgeous and nice looking E70!!!

[TriX5]

This Blue is very nice.

In the US it seems 95% of e70s are black, white or silver....... Even to find my Cayenne in dark blue metallic was a bit of a unicorn, though there are quite a few in that color in my neighborhood, they seldom show up in the trade in that color.

Congrats, looks very good.
