Re: Gearbox Kaput after 4 years?
Hi,
Performance won't pay since out of warranty.
I had the same problem with my E60. Performance and one 3rd party workshop also recommended to replace gearbox. Quote from 3rd party workshop estimated abount 9K.
I was refered to a auto transmission...
Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
I got a quote of 4k+ from a workshop in Sin Ming Ind to replace the control unit. Do you think this is reasonable?
Re: What's the difference between Pivot 3drive vs Velocity Throttle ?
did not have any problems on my Honda. I think it's safer to have the throttle response back to normal in reverse.
Re: What's the difference between Pivot 3drive vs Velocity Throttle ?
That's for the Japanese models. They charge a premium for continental cars. I believe the difference is just the harness.
Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
I have a colleague who had the control unit replaced under warranty to fix this problem.
Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
Have done the software reset/upgrade path as well....doesn't help. Hence will be going for the control unit replacement. Question I have now is whether to overhaul the transmission at the same time..... :(
Re: What's the difference between Pivot 3drive vs Velocity Throttle ?
Hi.
I had the pivot installed on my previous Honda. Just some additional info on the pivot. It can be installed with option to switch automatically to normal mode when in reverse gear - so you don't get the same throttle...
Re: Slight tuck fwd whenever I slow down to stop on a traffic liffic light
Hi Renyu, my e60 523 has the same problem. Trouble is it is intermittent. Sometimes I can drive to 20-30 mins without it occuring. Changing the ATF did not help. One workshop recommended replacing the entire gearbox...
Re: Active Steering Wheel-Lock Indicator Light
sorry to hear that bro. Mine never recurred....touchwood.
Should try to go down again and insist they fix for free since it is a recurrence. Good luck.
Re: Active Steering Wheel-Lock Indicator Light
I could start and drive my car throughout the period the warning was on, which was about 3-4 days. I sent my car in to PML on Thursday..only collected it on Friday. They said its software related. Had to upgrade the firmware to fix the problem.
Re: Active Steering Wheel-Lock Indicator Light
The user manual may probably mention it.
My warning light started off intermittently....last 2 days was permanent...
Just booked an appointment with PML today
Re: starting problem
My problem (only occurs when starting cold) seem solved after replacing the engine temperature sensor. Ok for more than 2 weeks. Am still monitoring.
