1. change solenoids
2. change valves
3. change mechatronic which is solenoids + valves (1 package)?
wt_know;949118 said:meaning, it's better to change solenoids and valves at the same time instead of solenoids only?
vtanwk;949243 said:Hi! Zincman,
do let us know how it is going with the solenoids change. Also, can pm me the workshop you did the change?
MapleLeaf;949117 said:The last time I went for servicing at The Other AD, I asked if I should change ATF. I was then at 98,000. They checked the official spec in their computer list and told me no need - ATF change only at 120,000 and suggested I wait until next servicing.

I did my ATF 20k ago, so another 20k will go do this which equates to end 2013, if my auto trans holds up till then.
Jerks once in a while, but quite annoying esp in stop and go traffic.

may i suggest that u don't suck it up till end of 2013?
simply drain out the gear oil in a container and change the solenoids and cover back the oil pan and pour back the gear oil.

simply drain out the gear oil in a container and change the solenoids and cover back the oil pan and pour back the gear oil.

canuck78;950101 said:Haha, never thought about it that way but there's nothing like fresh fluids for the car!
Will go do the solenoids change soon, you did yours at WCA?

Will the valve body also kaput one fine day, or simply down to luck?
If sure gotta change, might as well do together right?
Thanks.

Aaron_BMW;950910 said:I agree with u,
I am positive that my valve body is still in good condition thus able to last a good period.
In any case the valve body breaks down, I simply just replace the valve body and additional 7L of gear oil, reuse the oil pan.
