Assist with Transmission

r 185,000 miles on this 1999 E320 4Matic Wagon.
This is my first post; I'm attempting to get things straightened out before I start wasting resources on this. No, I haven't come across the same set of symptoms anywhere else online, including in the forum's archived posts.

Re: 2018 328d xdrive Engine coolant refill

As you can see in the right-hand column, the eight in a circle actually represents hardware. I was referring to the hose in item 7.

Re: 2018 328d xdrive Engine coolant refill

I believe I remember correctly :)

You should only need to drain and refill the coolant if the color of the fluid in your vehicle remains similar to blue coolant. The recommended interval is every six months, but if you're behind, there's no harm in getting ahead of schedule.

Re: 2018 328d xdrive Engine coolant refill

Your last seven digits of VIN are much appreciated.

That rules out the use of a secondary cooler; instead, you'll need to manage a mechanical (i.e., belt-driven) water pump, an expansion tank, and a radiator.

I believe a cooling system drain and refill will suffice at 62,000 miles. Use a 50/50 ...

Re: X5 wash pump for windshields

The front bumper may be easily removed provided you have access to a garage and are not exposed to the weather. It was as easy as changing the oil last year when I had to repair a broken side reflector on the driver's side and a long-cracked fog light on the passenger side. To avoid damaging the car ...
