8 years on a battery? :wow:
Since the X5 is relegated to 3rd car duty, I may give that a try on my ongoing 5yrs+ old battery :dunno: Quote:

:iagree: And on a diesel.....with glo-plugs. Wow! I can remember my 1981 Bonneville with the 5.7L diesel (269,000 miles on that puppy) and its dual battery setup. One battery's positive cable went directly to the glo-plugs and the other battery's went to the starter. With a 22.5 to 1 compression ratio, there was a substantial current draw. 2002 X5 3.0 371,000 miles 2014 428i 66,000 miles 2004 325i sold at 123,600 miles 2001 325i sold at 66,000 miles 1970 Firebird Under restoration |

It's the glow plug load that gave me the voltage drop that triggered the 4x4 light when I cranked it (in addition to the cranking load, of course!!). All good now! :thumbup: |
Installed my new California Car cover just in time for the snow, sleet, rain and 45 mph wind weekend. Old one lasted 5 years. Now I have three sleeping under covers.
Next up, cam sensor seals, oh what fun! |
Cam sensor seal. Been there. Went to install cps and was short a seal. I made one by rolling up enough Teflon to make an o-ring.

Replaced rear passenger ride height sensor. It did fix the rear right side from lifting high as can be like a dog taking a wee... however, that damned SLS inactive light came back on and I believe it is do to the front driver side bag having a slow leak....
when will it end...... :banghead: |

I am waiting for a few M5 projects to be completed before jumping into the engine bay |
Had my front passenger side window go down like a cheerleader on prom night (in a dust storm) swapped the broken clips out and was done in under 20 minutes start to finish (almost) as I dropped the last screw "the one under the airbag badge" and heard it clatter inside the door card which is impossible but I still looked and then found it in the door pocket [emoji28].
Anyway.... best $13.00 USD spent was for a TACTIX compact drive set for door work!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...84bc4c5ea0.jpg Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk |
DIYing is complete justification for buying new tools associated or unassociated with the job, paid for from labor savings.

True, now to just figure out how much shipping will cost all my stuff when I rotate back to the land of the big PX...[emoji2958]
