1. HOW MANY MILES DO YOU HAVE ???
2. DID YOU HAVE PROBLEM WITH A CAR BEFORE ?
3. DO YOU HAVE AN ANOTHER DEALER CLOSE ? I'D CHECK SOMEBODY ELSE FIRST !
4. IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR CAR WAS A TOTAL FAILURE.
A/C PROBLEM, OIL LEAKS FROM ENGINE.TRANS, ALL
THE BELTS, POWERSTEERING PROBLEM, CATALIC
CONVERTER PROBLEM, O2 SENSOR PROBLEM,PLUS THE
NEW ENGINE... WAS YOUR CAR REALLY THAT BAD ?
MY '95 840CI HAD 95K MILES BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY
OF THESE PROBLEMS ! THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE
LEAKING CYL HEAD GASKET WHICH CAUSED A LITTLE
BIT RAUGH IDLE AND HIGHER EMISSION. STILL
PASSED THE FLORIDA EMISSION PERFECTLY. SO
UNLESS YOU REALLY HAD THOSE PROBLEMS, DON'T
REPLACE THEM JUST EACUSE THE DEALER SAY'S SO.
14hrs at $70 per hour - NOT A CHEAPEST PLACE BUT THAT IS NORMAL AT DEALERS : BETWEEN 60-70USD/HOUR
(A)Should I get these done now? I DON'T THINK SO !
(B)are the part's prices to high (C) YES AND NO ! SOME ARE OK, SOME ARE EXPENSIVE !
: A/C belt=$38 - OK
: Alt belt=$19 - OK
I'D REPLACE THE TIMING BELT WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT AND SINCE THE ENGINE WILL BE OUT THAT IS TH BEST WAY TO DO !
: InspectII=$500 with 5hr labor, WHAT IS THAT ????
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO BE INSPECTED ???
: oil return line=$66 with 0.50 hr labor WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE OIL LINE ???
: powersteering line=$80, with 0.50 hr labor WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING ???
: transmission output seal + shaft seal=$30 OK
with 0.50 hr labor, clutch=$500 labor not - WHAT KIND OF A CLUTCH ??? DID YOU HAVE A TRANS. PROBLEM ? NOT, THEN FORGET THAT !
: Guibo(what's a guibo?)=$76 with 0.50 hr labor, WHAT A HELL IS THE GUIBO ? FOR 76.00????
: AC fan clutch=$150 with .050 hr labor, OKE IF YOU HAD PROBLEM AGAIN !
: O2 oxygen sensors x 2=$300 with 2 hr labor,
VERY EXPENSIVE !!! O2 SENSOR FOR A 4.0L ENGINE :
$133.35 /EACH FOR THE 4.4L THIS IS ONLY 62.00 SO I'D USE THAT IF I HAVE TO ! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE ???
: L&R motor mounts=$203 with .050 hr labor,
$90.00/EACH
: water pump=$132 + thermostat $16 with 0.50 hr labor,
: L catalytic convertor $1451 with2 hr labor...
YES FOR THE 4.0L THIS IS THE PRICE, BUT FOR THE 4.4L ENGINE THE PRICE IS $449.00 AND BECAUSE THE PIPE DIA IS THE SAME, I'D USE THE CHEAPER ONE !!!
ALL THE CAT. CONVERTER IS SAME YOU COULD ALSO GET AN AFTERMARKET FOR ABOUT 400USD/EACH ! BUT SINCE THE PERFECT OEM BMW IS 449 I'D USE THAT !
