Thread: High KM TD6's

Mine has now done 140k including some heavy towing.
How do change the tranny oil?

Only other problem has been the usual front diff input spline break fixed during warranty.

I've now also got wheel cracks that need welding and lately it looks like I need to replace the EAS unit as the EAS is continually shutting down
along with the EAS disabled warning.
Any advice on where to source a replacement at a decent price?

The only problem on these great beasts from seeing in the workshop & in general are the transmission can play up, the only reason why is they are what BMW call "Fill for Life" & there lies the problem.

If you own one get the transmission flushed every year & filled with new fluid & while your at it do a filter every 2nd year or so.

This will prolong the service life on these transmissions a while longer & you can drive with confidence.
