Also When doing the warranty job in which way had the clutch pack failed after using the shims?

Well only time will tell I suppose but I will be sure to keep you posted regardless.

Out of interest where were you placing the shims also how thick of a shim were you using?

[quote="kkx5"] It wont last long~1000miles will brake again. You can not use shims in clutch system. [/quote] Got the transfer case back together quite some time ago after refitting took it to get programmed and it would not allow the computer to do its thing so the motor had to be replaced as well ...

Right people I recently got around to stripping and inspecting the transfer box. Not quite as much damage as I would have liked to see. (In regards to being certain this is 100% the fault is. The two bearings in the clutch pack were slightly pitted along with the spreader arms. The clutch itself ...

Ok. Thanks for the input some very important questions answered. I will hopefully get home for next weekend, get it stripped and keep use posted with results.

Yes but what I am asking is ...... Is there is any way I can test manually that would shine some light on the situation. Like a visual inspection, dropping the oil and inspecting for fillings, or the likes? I have always been trained that a code only points you in the direction of the fault. Or is ...

Ok. So what the best way to confirm it is the transfer box before taking further action? I have had the prop shafts of spinning the flanges and can't feel any knocks.

Do the actuators/resistors ever go, or are the usually ok?

They go off for a short moment but straight back on. I assumed after a self test?

Only one mismatching and it is a very recent edition to the car. (Last couple of weeks that is and the problem pre exists the tyre) Yeh a bit of a gamble for tyres all round would be a kick in the arse off of £600. Think I will wait till I get home jack it up at all corners, drive and see if this ...

This is what he sent me when I asked him what was on it....... http://i64.tinypic.com/vrwztu.png Would jacking all wheels off ground, supporting on axle stands and putting into first and letting them run not let me know if it was down to traction bais or Incorrect slippage readings that are caused ...

Excellent artical. It has cleared up a few woes about the issues I have upon the tyres being at fault, Due to difference in tread and traction the on board computers detect too much slip and it is applying the brake. In the case of the warnings either the damage is done to the transfer box or has ...

Don't suppose you would happen to know the fuse number and which fuse box it is in would you?

Yeh if the box is gone and with the added cost of new Tyres there will be every chance the car may be the end of the line for this one.

Fixing it on behalf of a friend of the family. Yeh all fingures are pointing at tyres being first thing to try, just don't want to turn it into a money pit. The owner said it started of an intermittent fault and with the faults unable to clear, Would usually point me towards an electrical fault. I'm ...

Hi, I am currently looking at a 2007 X3 2.0 manual transmission and 94k on the clock with suspect transfer case related problems. The car drive ok after and NSR abs sensor changed due to sparatic speedo readings. Except for the knocking when aprouching full lock it is almost as if the back wheel are ...

Hi, I am new to this forum I have use other forums for different manufactures of vehicles but pretty new to the realm of BMW. So what brings me to xdrivers..... I am currently looking at a family members e83 x3 2007. 2.0 manual with what seems to be the all to common transfer case problems. Can ...
