DIY - Changing Loose VANOS Bolts

[shimmy]

wassup?

[glendog74]

would these bolts be replaced if a new vanos was fitted by BMW ?

:whistle:

Too much 'pussy footing' going on around here... :whistle:

[s.mac]

Im no techi and wanted to know what they were changing now :whistle:
so I did a search (yes, used the search function) and this thread popped up.
I'm losing track, I think its 6 weeks next week :smt017 or it might be this week. Fingers crossed it will be ready for pick up next week but not 100% sure vanos will be the last thing that gets changed, I love this warranty :smokin:
the guys are doing a top job at Murketts for me :thumbs:

[s.mac]

I have asked for a list, Ive lost track of whats been changed on this visit

I managed to wangle the cheapest inspection 1 due to the work that has been done, I had to pay for a couple of filters :hahaha:

:hahaha: mines in good nick, I would have asked otherwise :whistle:

I'm not sure that they could have done a Dunc and Mark job and saved a lot of time, I'm thinking the bill wont be far off ...

[shimmy]

they changed my vanos first then gave me another new one with the engine :thumbs:the week after

what you like Rob,

Ive dropped Ant a line about the steering wheel, mine isnt bad so I dont think I'll get any joy but its worth a go as its been in that long :whistle:

And they did the diff at the same time and oil rads and then like you did me a £150 inspection 2

that is good for inspection 2, Shimmey I cant see this being the last thing they do, all OK when they have it running warm but faults thrown up when running cold?

yep Diff was the 1st job on this visit. Bret will drop his off and he'll end up at Snet in the loan car :hahaha:

If I get a steering wheel he should ask for my old one as its 100% better than his, which to be fair is why I think I have no chance

you gave it the once over then, you said it was a bit rough and needed a clean .

Im sure the mechanics boot it when they go on their test drives, Ive never picked my car up from a dealers with it showing more than 15mpg ....

Ill put my name down as an additional driver if its a day at snet in a loan car :hahaha:
