Hey just want to let you know, you can't just change the transfer case fluid. That is monitored by one of the modules... I forget which one, it's been a few years.Quote:

There really is no need to change until it tells you to change
Interesting. Shoot me some links if you know of any with that info. I have seen pics of people changing it where the fluid was nasty. So I want to change it. My diffs and trans fluids were pretty bad. It shifts a lot smoother and the clunkiness when engaging clutch in the rear end has lessened. Still not sure what that is but thinking bad diff nowQuote:

The rear subframe mount go bad on those as well as the upper control arms in the rear. Might want to check there as well.
There was a discussion about the transfer case on Xoutpost a few years back and my wife works at a BMW dealership. I believe they told her about it there
If the E53 is anything like the E83 X3, then you have to reset the VTG adaptations. There is a procedure within ISTA under Service Function that allows you to tell it that you changed the oil, at which point it runs the adaptation reset for you.Quote:

Changed out my failing starter with a spare I got with a used motor. While I was in there I cleaned out the TB and IAC. Took about 5.5 hours of labor but saved a pretty penny by going DIY. Now for a wash...
During the job I noticed the intake ports, intake manifold, injectors and valves were covered in oil and caked on sludge. I'm guessing it was from a bad CVV? I've had all the components replaced and i don't they cleaned everything like I just did. Guess I won't know for sure until I drive it for a while and pull it again. Has anyone else had this issue?

That's pretty much normal for these motors. Mine looked the same way and others have said that too. Notice how every thing past the injectors is clean from the detergents in the fuel.
My injectors had little stalactites of hardened deposits on them...
Ok good to know. Seems like the valve stems were coated in oil residue but only towards the top. The actual valves/seals look clean. I also picked up a 1,000lb engine stand from harbor freight, now I can mount the project engine!Quote:
