I'm deep into the Valve Cover Gasket job. Looks like the joint at the timing chain cover was the culprit.

Keep valve cover gaskets in place?

So I'm about to tackle the valve cover gaskets on my M62 (again).
Should be easier this time now that I know you can remove the cabin air filter housing.

I know they should go in dry and use ...

Wouldn't I get a TC slippage warning?
Or does it need to slip really bad to throw that code?

Question for auto transmission gurus.

My '01 4.4i 135,000 mi X5 shudders during light load acceleration.
It will not shudder much at all under hard acceleration.

I though it could be a worn torque converter or trans fluid having...

I got the trifecta and it turned out to be.......

.........the ABS fuse.
Last year I was coming to a low speed stop at a red light and braking felt weird as if the ABS was engaging. When the light turned green my X5 ('01 4.4i 135,000 mi.) would...

Checking the tension of the transfer case chain

Can you check the tension of the transfer case chain while it's still in the case, through the drain plug or something?

When I push my X5 hard, towing or going into the mountains, I hear a high...

Any tips on replacing valve cover gaskets (without leaking)?

Going for 3rd attempt at VC gaskets on M62.

The PO had them replaced shortly before I bought the car, but 6 months later they were wet. I replaced them again with new gaskets and grommets taking...

I have the BMW trailer harness module you need.
Brand new, left over from install since it came with my OEM hitch kit, but my X5 already had the module installed.

PM me if interested.

I do still have the carrier, but Chicago is not that close to Boston and I really don't want to ship it. If you really need it, I'll look into shipping options.

When are you going to be in the...

Anyone need rear bumper parts (free)

I have the take off parts from installing a factory hitch on an '02 E53 4.4i.
Was just going to bring them to the scrap yard, but thought I'd ask if anyone wanted the parts, maybe to bring back to...

Hey Matt,
That's very interesting, worth looking into.

It has mostly happened with warm starts, which is why I have been a bit skeptical about the ignition switch. Pressure Regulator makes sense....

Another crank, no start story.

I have what sounds like a fairly common intermittent issue of strong crank/no start with my '01 E53 4.4i (about 10 times in 2 years, but getting a bit more frequent).
It will always start right away...

Lights and hazards cut out as well, so doubt it's the ignition switch.
They need to work even without a key.

Mine is the front main so it's engine oil.
I finally got around to cleaning the engine and putting UV dye in the oil to verify.
Look like it is the seal.
I found a shop with the tools, will do it...

I agree, no way it's the battery or alternator if all power cuts out like that then returns.
Tranny works seems to be the cause of so much trouble afterwards.
Something must have got damaged during...

Yeah, I'd normally do that if the engine were out of the car.
Don't see how I'd get a gun in there without removing the radiator, which I'd like to avoid. Also, heard even most guns have a hard time...

M62 Crank Securing Tool / Front Main Seal

Well,
After a few ugly spots in my driveway, I see my front main seal is leaking.
Looks like that crank bolt is on with 300 ft/lbs of German torque and the only way to remove it is with a crank...
