Yeah, big difference! We heard the rattle as he was driving into the shop when he first came!

Have your ears checked ;)

Varies depending on what you need exactly, check with your local shop or we can offer an estimate once we see the car.

244 Foxon Rd, North Branford, CT 06471

9K miles ago ;)

See your Euto. mechanic for specifics.

Indees!

It's an amazing car!

Correct, some older models got new pistons done by the dealers. Those never burn any oil. They all tend to be 2010s. They stopped at some point, I guess once they realized every single 4-cyl, and many 6-cyl, engines had the issue.

You're living the dream!

Price really depends on the situation - best to reach out to us directly in CT or your trusted Euro shop.

Entirely possible. But think about it. Same materials, same manufacturing conditions, same mileage - do you want to run the risk, and have to do it again? As a professional shop last thing we want is to have to tell the customer they need to pay for twice the labor because we didn't anticipate an issue.

lol. The cost of the job depends on many factors. In our 20 years of experience the number one lesson is to never quote a job without diagnosing the issue first. Reach out if you are in CT, we'll be glad to help.

​@@user-wh6zu1nl4r re-watch the video, he covers it at least twice

Thanks, we do!

@@mattchandler9134 2:25 Left Bank --- Right Bank 3:23 Right Bank --- Left Bank So it is not clear which one is which.

We recommend 50K miles, as we prefer to err on the side of caution. Your Rover specialist should be pointing a flashlight every 5K miles and letting know you at the first sign of trouble.

Yeah, I've heard 'if there's no oil under it, there's no oil in it'! Definitely the case with Audi I4 and V6 of this generation. We see this a lot.

Not really - firmer. We are just bringing it back to what it was designed to feel like.

They are great!

lol! Correct. Neither will ever happen.

Yes it will. Nip it on the bud.

Yes but you have to press the bushings out and the new ones back in which requires removal of the whole arm anyway so it's better to just replace the whole part in my experience.

yesterday i did it and i can say that you can save a lot of money with the same result, its good to have someone to help because its not easy to do this alone, especially with the press. For upper 4 parts i paid only 30$ in total OEM parts lemforder, 2x hydro bearings 55$, and 4 next bearings around 15$ each. So in total i paid only around 160$ where the lower lemforder wishbone costs around 120$ for just one part.

This is correct.

While it's possible, we prefer the control arms. Even though we are a professional shop, we almost had a safety incident with the press a while ago. Saving a few bucks is not worth the risk to me as a shop owner.

Hi - as clarified in our video description, specific issues are best addressed by a local specialist. Thanks.

@@carhavneurotech Ok. thanks a lot!

Not a website, man. This has to be done by a specialist or a dealer with the BMW ISTA software or a high-level tool such as an Autologic box. If you are in CT give us a call!

Fair enough! In many applications we stay away from them but this camshaft bridge / camshaft bracket has been pretty solid for us.

Great questions! The double links in the new design are more resilient to stretching.

@@carhavneurotech But why is that if it has the same cross section material wise? Is the steel different?

7.4 is scary, glad it was caught. Did you have a Check Engine Light on? Probably not. Yes, you're lucky it did not skip timing. In a perfect world the timing chain would last a lot more. But bad tensioner design, 10K mile oil intervals, and questionable link design all play a part.

Stop by your local Euro shop!

To do it right and clean the old oil you do!

No you dont.

No you don't you have plenty of room

Never intended to say a driver can do this. However, a trained specialist with the right equipment can check the rings in 20 min.

Fair enough. However, unless the root cause is fixed (bad piston rings), the carbon will accumulate again, turning into a vicious cycle.

@@carhavneurotech You used original parts, it will happen again

@@carhavneurotech wont you using OE parts cause that same result though?

This is not accurate. The new design does not have the spring in the piston ring that causes the problem.

Respectfully disagree! Excessive oil consumption is an issue that needs to be properly diagnosed and corrected.

My 2015 golf wagon with is20 turbo and apr tune never needs oil in-between changes and is at 125k miles.

😢 easily!! in retrospective, doing the oil change way more frequently is way cheaper

More or less. Our customers typically spend a bit more, but get a lot of work done as we make the best of the labor and replace also head gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, camshaft bridge, even water pump and thermostat. It's not cheap but it's a new lease on life for the engine. We have customers regularly adding 100K miles after this service, we've been doing it for years so we see the long term results. Cheaper than getting a new car!

You'd think, but at $10-12 a quart for good fully synthetic oil every 500 miles it adds up. The real problem though is that if not fixed, oil in the rings will turn into carbon, and that will either 1. score the cylinder walls internally leading to loss of compression or 2. cause the valves to burn and lose chunks into the engine. Both issues will cause total engine failure.

Actually coding is needed, not programming. ISTA or a high-level scanner can take care of that.

@@carhavneurotech will it start the car even if you did not coded? Thank you

May start, but not every electronic function will work properly.

Probably, cheap enough fix to try, or connect with your local Euro shop.

Yes you're right! We will make the correction, thanks for pointing it out.

The advice we always offer is to find a trusted local Euro mechanic. Every situation is a little different. If you’re local to us in CT we’ll be glad to offer an appointment, our info is in the description. Hope this helps!

Yes - gotta be real careful though.

Correct done it myself that way

Not imposible - if your voltage source is not clean or if you get the polarity wrong you're looking at an expensive repair.

Everyone does it nowdays with electronic parking brakes, not just the Germans.

​@@roots4xI have used the parking brake since mid-late '90s 😂. On all my vehicles. Every time I park. Automatic or manual.

Correct, many high end cars have this feature. We're a Euro shop so we see this all the time.
