Thanks anyway. The coupler was bad as it would go on but then slip right off. Ended up buying another can and gauge. A/C now blows cold air.

(2001 BMW X5 4.4i 189,000 miles)

About $146. I could have ordered it online from other aftermarket places for cheaper pricing but I just wanted to be sure about the part.

If one of your airbags is leaking, the suspension system will kick on because it is

trying to keep your system level. You may need to have the bag replaced that is associated with that wheel that is adjusting. I have heard my compressor come on prior to me replacing my two rear...

Trifecta of DSC-ABS-BRAKE lights came on last week along with no speedometer. Was worried that it might be the ABS/DSC module. Since the speedometer gauge wasn't working, I figured I would just order...

Fixed. The carrier was shifted about 1/16 of an inch toward

the front of the vehicle. Once I pulled out the keypiece, I shifted it toward the rear of the truck and the handle moved freely.

I don't think it's the cable anymore because I can push the ball

up easily whether the claw is on or totally off the white slot. The handle must be stuck or jammed on something. I guess I'll take it apart again.

It's fully on the knob and there is slight movement but not enough to pull up on the outside handle. The handle is flush like it is supposed to be but will only come up about 3/16 of an inch.

Just happened to me on my 2001 X5 4.4i w/163000 miles

on the engine. Check engine light and had the noise and used my Peake OBD to read the codes.

Two codes displayed on the Peake are 8C and 21.
8C = “Fuel Injector, Cyl #4”
21 = "Engine noise too...

Thanks electricalserv. I saw M62 on the two water pipes above the

valley pan. I thought the N62 made its debut in 2002. I may be looking at 3300-3700 depending on whether or not the timing has to be adjusted. Sounds like you may be giving me the dealer's estimate...

got the driver's side valve cover gasket off and I see

the broken timing rail piece is broken. About to call an indy now. I guess a decision on whether to repair or junk it is coming soon.

Skyline, in my case, the ignition was off but my

rear suspension airbag was deflating because it must have a pinhole. I guess the suspension stays active to compensate for tilt whether the truck is on or off. BMW may have put in some new safety...
