Question: why do these BMWs need so much repairs?

I had a used E46 for more than six years, until one week before the COE expired. The single biggest tab (at J4C) was like... $2k? Soft top operated daily, red-lined the engine, even brought the car to Sepang once. You couldn't pay me to go to some dodgy workshop based on a "forum bro" recommendation.

18k! U shd just burn your car n throw in a talisman with the previous owner's name on it n wish he grows a monkey tail.

But if u the 1st owner, means u never take care of car, n u shd grow a monkey tail and elephant ears

Re: gearbox change experience up north

Yes saving a few ks to repair up North is good saving provided you know the ws well and they are really good. But when things starts to go wrong, the time and energy to sort this mess I think is not worth it.

Good comment.

The point is that this WS up north that we go too (Aaron inclusive) is really good (service, technical expertise and value).

If their skills lousy but price is cheap, trust me none of us will go.

Also none of us are saying this is the only WS that we must patronize. In fact, many of us also go to sponsor WS or other WS in Singapore too for different repairs.

Nuff said, hope the threadstarter can keep us posted on his outcome on valve body issue.

Re: gearbox change experience up north

Did a diagnosis ..... Don't think its a valve body issue. And re-calibrated the mechatronic etc .....

It's a gear lever selector issue ........

 

[Vansoh]

Re: gearbox change experience up north

How to repair gear lever selector? Got such parts to replace only?

 

[canuck78]

Re: gearbox change experience up north

So your problem resolved after mechatronic reset by Codewerz?

Hi bros,

Need to seek some advice.

I did the overhaul of my gearbox up north when the red rambutan warning came and the workshop advise on doing the overhaul with the replacement of the clutch plates and solenoids. Proceed to did the change and everything seems ok.

6 months down the road, the gearbox red warning came up again, this time i thought it may be due to the previous overhaul that was not done properly and went back to the workshop. The workshop told me need to change the valve body this time round.

It does not sound logical as I do not experience any jerking after the overhaul and isn't the overhaul and valve body change the same with the solenoids and clutch plate replacement?
