Common BMW X3 Issues in Phoenix

Valve Cover Gasket & Oil Filter Housing Gasket Leak

Over thousands of heat cycles, the rubber gaskets that seal the plastic valve cover and the metal oil filter housing of the engine become hard, brittle, and shrink, losing their elastic properties. This allows oil to leak into the engine. The repair at our shop in Phoenix involves removing the intake manifold and replacing the failed gasket.

Electric Water Pump & Thermostat Failure

Due to irregular and delayed maintenance, the electric components within the pump simply wear out and fail, often without prior notice, resulting in sudden and complete failure. Our technicians restore the cooling system function by replacing the water pump and thermostat, which should be replaced together.

Engine Timing Chain Issues

The plastic guides that keep the timing chain properly tensioned and aligned can become brittle and break apart over time, resulting in timing issues within the engine. If caught early, the repair involves replacing the timing chain, guides, and tensioners. If the chain has already failed, a full engine replacement is the solution at our facility, Tanner Motors in Phoenix.

xDrive Transfer Case Actuator Motor Failure

The transfer case is the component that distributes power between the front and rear axles, and a small actuator controls it. The internal plastic gear wear is the cause behind its failure. At our shop in Phoenix, our technician opens the actuator and replaces the gear, restoring the transfer case.
