kaesark 2 Report post Posted June 27, 2019 Hi Have a leaky sump gasket so needing replacing. Is this a job for the DIY or send it in to the shop. 320i n46 What would a mechanic charge?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted June 27, 2019 Hopefully it's not like doing the sump gasket on an E30 M20 - that's an hours long job. Can certainly be done at home, but an extra pair of hands might be useful at times. http://welshman187.blogspot.com/2013/07/e46-n42-sump-gasket-replacement-diy.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1162 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 I've done it before. Much easier than a six cylinder. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you definitely have to with the six cylinder engines. Mine was on the e46 - are you e46 or e90? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaesark 2 Report post Posted June 29, 2019 E90 would be great if sub frame not needing to be dropped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
