Budget E70 going to bite me?

It's probably just a wheel bearing , should be easy to find once off the ground and it's very hard to pinpoint in the car . :thumbsup:

F25 heating problem

I'd hazard a guess due to the part being in backorder it's a common enough issue , volkswagen had the same in the passat around 2015/16, they said it was alloy corrosion but it's well known to be a bag of fine crystals they put in the expansion tank rupturing with age and blocking the matrix. No ...

Considering buying my first X5, advice please...

I'd wonder why it even needed 6 injectors. It's the rear 2 can get wet and play up. 4k is about the money now for that age .

07, E70 3.0D MPG issue - Trouble shooting

For what it's worth I don't have a single working heater plug now and my 2009 sd regens just fine. .The thermostats are important though so good you have changed those.I think it's too risky to try removing my heather plugs now when they are not causing any issues , they are possibly more an issue ...

Is it code 452A not 425A ? which is dpf predicted life end , , a warning appears on the dash soon after startup.for a few secs. .It usually appears around 160k and doesn't cause any issues apart from being annoying.

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!

Guess there must be a lot of claims with electric cars or the claims are bigger due to the high cost of repair .Time to move for sure though

The budget E70 has landed.......

Virtually every cac I've ever bought only came with one key till I got the x5 and it would have been a deal breaker if there were not 2 working genuine keys given the cost of them and hassle getting it sorted. I hope you can get this sorted quickly and without too much cost and as I've learned in ...
