Replacement of the Rear Wheel Bearing on the E90
diablos_carcv5 replied to diablos_carcv5's topic in General Car Chat
I saw that they might be purchased for around £80, which, as you said, would constitute a simple solution. Nonetheless, even if the wheel bearing is functioning well, it is likely that the Reluctor Ring is deteriorating. (I have implemented a provisional solution on one of my devices by placing a washer behind the ABS Sensor.) I am astonished that one of my rear bearings is producing noise, since the vehicle has only accumulated 90,000 km. -

If I am unable to remove the Drive Shaft, I could just saw it off and purchase new components, so alleviating much of the inconvenience. New Hub - £35 S/H Hub Carrier - £45 New whole drive shaft - £46 I will want a Bearing Fitting Kit (£36) to install the new Bearing. However, it would undoubtedly be more economical than hiring a garage to do all the tasks, which may also need new components. -

Indeed, I anticipated that it may be challenging. In several films, individuals simply remove the Hub Nut with a socket and a breaker bar, then dislodging the drive shaft with a rod and a hammer. In certain cases, they must use power equipment and various types of pullers. I recently removed the wheels to eliminate kerbing and re-sprayed them. I ought to have examined the nuts; yet, I do not remember them seeming particularly defective. I have a cordial local garage that I consult when a task beyond my capabilities (such as one I have started and had difficulties with). Therefore, I may attempt it and assess my progress. I inquired about the potential cost, but they said that it is contingent upon the ease of the task; sometimes, the driveshafts are simply removed, while at other times, they are so severely damaged that a new hub and driveshaft must be installed. Regardless, I believe there is little need to proceed, therefore I will likely defer until spring to assess its appearance, especially with the onset of colder weather. -

If I go with this, I may concurrently replace the ABS reluctor ring. -

What I first perceived as noise from my differential is, in fact, a rear wheel bearing issue. I have been seeing web videos; it seems very simple, except for the absence of the requisite instruments. I need confirmation on whether this kit has the right sized pieces for the extraction and installation of E90 bearings.

316d N47 - Timing Chain Failure / Engine Malfunction
diablos_carcv5 replied to TechnoTrailblazer's topic in General Car Chat
There is no possibility of BMW providing assistance due to the vehicle's age of 11 years and its history of skipped servicing. They will charge you £220 for the investigation, after which they will provide a repair estimate. In my perspective, charging £7,000 for an engine replacement is excessive; in 99% of cases, the repair is simple, often involving the rockers and cam carrier at worst. There is a little possibility that the chain may have been entangled and destroyed the block; nevertheless, I have personally never seen this happen. Despite block damage, I have reconstructed these engines using a pre-owned block at a little cost. -
2016 GT Line eight-year service components

Spark plugs are replaced when the appropriate mileage is attained; my 2017 Sportage has not had a set of plugs changed in the seven years I owned it, since the mileage never hit 100,000. -
Enhancing Vehicle Performance using Performance Chips.
diablos_carcv5 replied to nickoyster4's topic in General Car Chat
Simply bear in mind that if a product or service is priced below $200, claims to be "universal", or guarantees "no setup required", it is most likely a fraud. -
Due to its infrequent occurrence, diagnosing it will be challenging. During my ownership of the e61 535d a few years ago, it functioned well. However, one morning, it completely failed to start. I disconnected the IBS and it suddenly became operational, then I reinstalled the IBS and did not have the problem again. My suggestion would be to disconnect the power supply to the IBS and attempt to restart it when the issue occurs again.

Regarding the issue of sellers attempting to charge clients for tools. A Mercedes-Benz enthusiast I know was requested to purchase a specialised tool in order to do maintenance on his almost brand-new vehicle. I cannot recall the specific item, but its cost was little less than £1,000. This individual consistently purchased two new motherboards year. Unquestionably, he instructed them to proceed and the dealer purchased the item. I recommend thoroughly examining the consumer laws to see whether you have a valid legal recourse against the garage that provided the goods or services within a timeframe of six months. It may be free of charge, with the only need being your time. -
Advanced driver assistance systems
diablos_carcv5 replied to diablos_carcv5's topic in Technical forum
My device emits frequent beeps accompanied by rapid warnings that I am unable to perceive due to their brevity. Given that I have successfully operated a vehicle for an extended period of time without the use of these particular items, I believe it is prudent for me to continue in this manner. -

Thank you for the responses. All of these features could be deactivated on my prior vehicle. I see the majority of them as being more of an obstacle rather than an assistance. While driving, if you hear a beep, you must divert your attention from the road in order to identify the issue. My son, who is a mechanic, believes he can disable them for me, so that is the next action I plan to take.
