I did go online and started reading everything that resembled what i was experiencing scanned it with the Autel 808 cleared it. Next day check engine plus all the warnings with the wipers on.

Hello Everyone. I am having a Chassis warning on my I-Drive after driving for a couple of miles and upon checking on my OBD reader these codes appear 480DB1 and 480DB5. I am wondering if this is the ride height sensor? Does it need to be changed right away? What are the other checks that needs to be done before replacing this part? If so, can I have the part number of this spare part? Thank you in advance everyone.

I'm running into what I think to be a fairly known issue with a gasket getting sucked into the throttle body.
2003, 3.0 (gas, not diesel)
The diagram shows the gasket to go between part 1, and 4, but I can't (for the life of me) get it even close to fitting.
That being said, the part where the hose clamp sits on part 4 (for this union) seems to be molded / fused to the rest of the tube, and is of a softer plastic / rubber that can form to the male side of part #1.
Do I forgo this gasket (part #3), or do I find a way to stretch out the mating surface of #4 so the gasket can fit (and ultimate ..read more

I've owned older Japanese cars and am pretty comfortable working around engines, but I'm a bit stumped with my X5.
I parked my X5 for a two weeks and noticed some issues when I was trying to start it on the weekend and I could hear the engine trying to start. I have CA, so the it kept trying to start while I held down the break.
Originally, I thought it was a dead battery so I charged it, and no change. I've gone ahead an replaced the battery, since it's been in the truck since it was purchased.
I ran a quick check using ISTA+ and I'm getting the following codes:
0032AB EWS-DME message i ..read more

Morning all,
I had an issue with my ABS (turns out it wasn'tthe ABS it was a bad wire), so changed the pump now I'm trying to bleed the brakes with not much luck.
I have tried gravity bleeding
Pressure bleeding
And using my diagnostic to activate the pump
When the car is off and I pump the brake, about half way down, there is like a step is probably the best way to describe it. There is resistance both sides of the "step"
Nothing seems to give me a firm pedal when the car is running
Just to add, the brakes were working absolutely fine before I changed the pump. I have no leaks anywhere.
I ..read more
