I thought the propshaft problem was just limited to a couple of years of manufacture. Is it an ongoing fault than can affect all LCI E70's and F15's.
Are the pre LCI's affected too .

It sounds like a general issue.  My propshaft was replaced as part of the recall but the failures seem to cover a wider period now....  :(

Either that or the checks were not done carefully enough by the Dealers  >:(

Pre Lci e70 drivetrain is same as on Lci e53, so no problems. Basically if you got 8hp gearbox you got sh..t propshaft. It does not matter if its x1,x3,x5,x6,f30,f10 etc..Had them all..
