Thanks lot. That's especially good to hear that turbo issues aren't common on these cars. Good shout re: the Carly app - money well spent I would say. Might just get the gearbox oil swapped out at a good indi to see how the response is post oil change. All in all, the car is driving well - just that ...

Car will be 5 years old next month, OCT 2013, BMW X6 40D. We bought at 3 years old and it came with 2 years approved used warranty. Car seems to be running ok. A problem with these cars can be a judder on full lock but thankfully, no such issues. On a cold morning, the gearbox isn't as smooth, a ...

[quote="X5Sport"] From reading the forums it seems the current (and fairly new) EA288 diesel engine in its 190BHP PS (170BHP) is not well suited to the DSG. The EA188/189 (Dieselgate unit) in its 150 or 170BHP version is fine. Something that VW have done with the newer engines' map means the unit ...

[quote="X5Sport"] Seems to be a common issue then, and I use my paddle shifters far more often than I feel I should need to for the same reason, the blasted DSG is constantly in the wrong gear unless in Sport! The ZF box on the X6 is a dream in comparison :) [/quote] The RRS that was replaced by the ...

[quote="X5Sport"] As an aside, how good is the economy on your AllTrack? I have the same engine and running gear on my Mk3 Škoda Superb L&K 4x4 DSG 190? It's got the EU6 tune (Ad Blue required) and only gives 43mpg. Typical figures for all owners and well below (-35%) the stated performance. [/quote] ...

Daylight pic so you can see the colour better. I do like grey as you can see, my Alltrack is also grey

Yes, huge bullet dodged guys. I read some info on them today, what crooks! I can't believe I got BMW to virtually price match them now I think about it. My X6 from BMW country garage got new discs and pads all around in the days before I got it. It went in for its pre sale check up on the Friday and ...

No daylight pics yet..

I bit the bullet, pulled the trigger or whatever you call it just last week, and got a 3 year old X6 40d. I've got to say, while I just joined today, I've enjoyed reading nearly every thread in the x6 section prior to joining and it seems like a nice forum ;) I particularly enjoyed the thread when ...
