Job done took to a garage 2mins from me needed tensioner and idle pulley, as well alternator nice to hear those after market exhaust .

How big a job is it to change alternator on bmw e53 4.8,and what would you pay for garage to sort as don't think I would have any knuckles left if I have a crack at it.

Over the last few days I have a constant whining noise which gets louder and faster when the accelerator is pressed. It's there whether in park or neutral. Could it be alternator, idle pulleys or tensioners? If so, are these jobs easy enough to do? Changed my coils and plugs already, what an improvement there. Also can't open front passenger door from inside or out, or using remote. Cheers, J

Hi back again want to give car complete service over next few months which are the best plugs for 4.8 and was going to change coils choices on the bay prices cheap what you think got do flexi joint on drive shaft and change gear box oil and filter when bit warmer info would be great Thanks Jerry

Forgot to say big thanks for all info.

All done turns out some fuses where missing when air suspension was removed replaced a few Diagnostic could then communicate with module .I put my hands up don't think I helped fumbling around , took for test drive Tec guy says just got slight play when pulling off drive shaft but hardly notice it not be racing off from lights at my age

Afternoon I put a fuse in slot 46 not sure what ampage could someone give info now 4x4 and abs lights go out for 10 seconds then pop back on do I need to get them cleared help

Diagnostic could not communicate with transfer control unit plus battery losing charge on tester .think I go with control unit first battery under leg tank bit more cost

Which fuses are connected with the transfer control module
