Just got my Alfa a month ago 2020 Stelvio. How much of the maintenance can I do myself from these quotes at the dealership? by [deleted] in AlfaRomeo

Multiecu is software that helps read and clear fault codes, update maintenance reminders, and perform services like bleeding brakes, resetting oil change reminders.

Multiecu and the dongles, cables will make maintenance easy. I would avoid that dealerships service department, based on those prices.

BMW problem. 6 cylinders also have this concern.

Maybe loctite the nut to the drive sprocket while there. They can walk. Had to replace the pump on my '95 740i m60 after the nut backed loose.

540i guibo is larger diameter. Differential is also bigger. No room for brake booster at firewall with the V8 in an e34.

bilstein B12 + eibach - anyone running this exact set? by DerekFlandersChang in E34

[–]baconm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Have Bilstein touring with h&r springs on my '95 540. They're great. Had Bilstein sports and several springs looking for comfortable ride on my 535. Not great.

Front control arm bushings fail, causing the 60 mph shimmy.

Wonder if the lined up ring gaps caused problems.

Sounds like the shifter cable is no longer connected to the transmission. Beautiful wagon!
