Hi Guys. I drive a 09 E90 318i. I started to hear a noise coming from the rear, a local specialist told me it’s the rear differential. So it’s out, and I’ve given it to a gearbox/differential specialist in the Midlands called PowerGears to recondition. I asked what’s the process, he said we...

As in title, I had a rear wheel bearing replaced about a year ago and the car failed MOT due to uneven wear this year. It's worn almost to no tread on inside and virtually no wear on outside. Garage doesn't want to know after this length of time. Another mechanic says it's something to do with a...

Can a bad front wheel bearing make noise and vibration on one side of the car but no vibration in steering wheel? Left side of the car vibrates (sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes no vibration at all) at highway speeds. Changed left side rear wheel bearing, still the same noise. I had...

Hi can anyone tell me if a 2005 e90 uses a magnetic rear wheel bearing or is there a way to find out without stripping it Thanks

Hi have the following error code and abs light. Changed the abs sensor and wheel bearing when that didn’t clear it; still lit - anyone any ideas?

Hi all, My E92 diff pinion bearing has failed again.. only had it reconditioned less than 2 years ago but it's out of warranty now. One driveshaft is leaking too. Rather than replace my diff like for like again at great cost (the 3.91 small case differentials are seemingly more expensive and...

There seems to be loads of tools on the market to pull bearings, is there any you guys can recommend?

Turbo bearings failed (whistling grinding noise) have had one specialist quote £1300 to fix. What should I buy other than the turbo to give to my mechanic to fix? Crankcase breather etc. Anyone recommend good turbo supplier. . Been told Garrett best but at £800 just for the turbo I figured I'd...

Hi all, Looking for some advise and sorry in advance for the long post but I've been struggling with this for a while A couple of months ago I noticed a little humming/buzzing noise while driving down the motorway, when I looked at the tyres it's appeared my front drivers side was a slightly...

Hi guys. I am co grunting with a situation where a mechanic tells me something, and another one, something else. The problem is like this. I have a 3 series e90 with a reader speed sensor not working. Been to a bmw garage and I have been told that the sensor is faulty and reluctor ring is...

Hi each and all - as some of you are probably aware I am doing a rebuild on my 320d e92 I have just been quoted £307.16 for Main Bearing shells inc Thrust bearing ( Top & Bottom ) plus Main Bearing ASA bolts - which is ridiculously expensive It appears that the block part of the shells are...

Hi everyone, Bit of background: Ive owned my E46 323ci for about 7 years now, never really missed a beat other than the usual little things. Done a lot of work myself covering something like 100 separate jobs when things have needed replacing, every squeak and rattle sorted as it occurs. 184k...

Hello, Hoping I might be able to get some advice or a nudge in the right direction if at all possible... My 1998 e36 318is failed it's MOT due to the Nearside Rear wheel bearing. The garage trying to change it unfortunately had no joy in removing the driveshaft from the hub... well and truly...

Hi all, I developed a whining from my car just before Christmas which has slowly gotten louder. I took it to the garage and thought possibly a wheel bearing but can't hear it with windows down. Now it looks like it could be a gearbox bearing??? I'm not a mechanic and usually garage my cars...

Well im getting ready to re assemble my m62b44 lump, but cant find any info on the outer bolts on the main caps, there is some sort of screw/coller adjustment?,got the torque settings but there must be some sort of setup for the adjusable collers?:confused

Hi, On the morning of the engine failure I was driving down a dual carriage way towards the motorway. As I got towards the end of the carriageway before joining the motorway the 6 series started making a rattling noise which rapidly got louder and sent vibration throughout the car. I got the...

Car has been kind of hesitating prior to accelerating hard after long periods at 50mph sections of traffic. Then the other day it hesitated and then broke, lost power, very lumpy running, I coaxed it off the motorway and parked up. Then lumpy running got worse then high pitched squealing then...

So my AC clutch bearing has some movement which causes some noise, but no real issue right now, though it will undoubtedly fail. Wiggling things around the main shaft still seems solid, it's only the pulley moving around. The compressor clutch engages properly so aircon works just fine. I've...

All I can say is fxxx and fxxx and plenty of fxxx. The four bolts that hold the bearing in place are super tight. They must of been put on by he-man or some other unnatural being. I broke sockets and extension bars doing this job. So my advise is to undo the bolt that clamps the shock. Then...

Have been hearing the dreaded wheel bearing noise from front offside. Has been diagnose as bearing failure. Is this a D I Y job or should I trust the services of a garage. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks
