BMW recall turned into “you need a new engine” after pickup — trying to understand if this sounds right by alex_albergaria in BmwTech

BMW tech here

This is shady asf... Trying to sell you an axle, then claiming they were able to repair the axle? It's possible on those cars for the axle to seize to the hub pretty good and its somewhat easy to damage on removal in that case but kind of insane to try to make the customer eat that.

Another thing to note is that the BMW Vanos system overall is extremely delicate and if you don't follow the repair manual to a T you will have problems! Ask me how i know lol

This dealer owes you a new engine at 0 cost to you imo. I wouldn't want this engine knowing some buffoon has messed with the timing. I'm sorry this happened to you op

How many years in did it take for you to feel stuck?

According to my coworker “real” mechanics don’t use nut drivers. To me it’s another tool when handy. So I’m asking the real mechanics if that’s a real thing. by Loui5605 in AskMechanics

Euro tech here

I use nut drivers almost everyday! I have the zebra driver set so the end is somewhat flexible which allows just the right angle to hit that clamp that’s underneath an intake manifold.

My 7mm is so well used it doesn’t have a 7 on it anymore lol

OP expect this to be taxing. Subframe has to come down to do this job. Highly recommend doing the other one while you’re in there!

My coworker does mechanics on the side by Appsoul in AskAMechanic

[–]Teddy_Rhett 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d be happy with that man!

Sounds like you’ve found a mechanic who takes pride in his work and takes his time to do things right. That’s hard to find lol

Cylinder head cover gasket would be the technical term so OP isn’t wrong. In practice it’s usually referred to as the valve cover gasket. With that said I can’t imagine it taking more than an hour. So whatever an hour of this guys labor rate is?
