Alarm Question

Well I finally heard back from Hella and they sent me 2 diagrams (photos added). The reason they took so long is because they were trying to find a set of installation/fitting instructions but sadly they don't have any on record any longer
Here are the diagrams but you may need to learn a bit of German lol !!!

My X6 build/maintenance thread

Morning Gary
The upper wishbones are a bit of a fiddle but the rest is straight forward the rest is straight forward. I use new mounting bolts for the lower arms and make sure the suspension is under load before final torqueing
My E70 took around 2hrs a side (including Tea and Biscuits) and that's in my Home Garage without a lift (just get the car as high as you can) The 4 wheel alignment afterwards was £90 at my local Garage I use for MOT's (2 years ago) So a £1000 seems a bit OTT unless he was supplying parts as well
Sunny day today we know what your doing 🤣

330e scheduled charging

Morning Jon
Welcome to the Forum
Not owned or played with a Hybrid or EV yet (but at my age I probably won't 🤣) can you not get a setting for the Charger a bit like the washing machine or Dishwasher ??

My X6 build/maintenance thread

Had to book the car in this week at main dealers, as front differential seal was leaking. Just over £700, but did have both sides done. I think that the old fluid was thick and didn’t leak much, but as it was only services a couple of weeks ago, the fresh fluid is getting out easier. The local specialist wanted £375 per side plus all the parts. Also wanted a £1000 just to change the front suspension bars and wheel bearings. Quoted for 10 hours work plus wheel alignment.
I’ll do this myself and save the money thanks.
Also received these yesterday. Just under £500 for the tie rods and front links, and £540 for the front bearings. Will get the rears in a few weeks, and tie rods and anti roll bar bushes.

Oil leak, no1 will look at it!!

If the oil leak is coming from the oil filter housing, your oil level will more than likely show too high, as coolant will be mixing in with it. Did this myself a couple of months ago.
Torque setting is 20nm for the bolts.
The other place it could be is the oil filler cap housing gasket, and that’s a 5 min job to do
Which side of the engine is the leak coming free m?
