Worksie 22 Report post Posted August 23, 2017 After finding out that my aircon pump has knackered clutches and a shagged bearing, I have now been told that my alternator needs to be replaced, my glow plugs are not working, and my pcv valve is buggered. Alternator is around $1300, the glow plugs are $600, the aircon pump, if they can repair it is $300/400, or a new one $3000 ex Germany! No idea about the pcv valve yet! I do like my 530d, but I have never had a car that has cost me so much, so quickly! I needed a new battery in the first week I got the car ($600) and then a warrant three weeks later cost me around $1500 (2 tyres and a suspension bush!).
