335D E91 Touring Project

Recommended Posts

Not much progress on the wagon in the last wee while, moved house and jobs so plenty on with all that. The new place has a garage! Pretty excited about this, a nice dry place for the wagon to live and a place to work on it too.

Anyways, todays progress was a transmission service. Dropped the pan and valve body, replaced the 4 sleeve seals and bridge seal and threw it all back together with a new pan. Also replaced the mechatornic sleeve while I was at it. I used Penrite BMV which looks to work with Lifeguard 6 spec, will see how this goes in the coming months. The old fluid was very clean, I believe it was replaced before I bought the car. Was an interesting project having never dropped a valve body before this. Cool to see the inner workings of an auto box. Overall was a pretty easy job, dropping the trans brace and exhaust hanger helped to get to the mechatronic plug. 

Will give this a few weeks of driving before throwing an XHP tune at it, have heard good things about the tune, looking forward to seeing the results.

Big thanks to Tony at TPD for coming in on a Saturday to use a hoist for this one.
