  1. The only considerations are whether you want to get one and whether you have the financial means to acquire one. Clearly, you have responded affirmatively to both, thereby completing the task. All additional considerations that individuals may contemplate are subjective in nature.
  2. I have changed the brake discs, brake pads, and brake callipers on both the 2012 Avensis and the 2016 Avensis. There is no need to establish a connection with any kind of code reader or laptop. Replace all components with caution, press the brake pedal to bring the brake pads into contact with the disc, and then drive the vehicle a short distance to properly condition the pads before engaging the electronic parking brake. This method has always proven effective for me, without any alteration in the automatic disengagement of the parking brake.
  3. Despite being a subject of amusement, it is a fact that sunlight reflected off of clouds may possess the same level of brightness as direct sunshine.
  4. I feel that yellow lenses in sunglasses are beneficial. Additionally, a car with an elevated driving posture might also be beneficial.
  5. The year 2012 might potentially be a critical year for the failure of oil cooler seals. The cost to repair is estimated to be between £800 and £1200. I believe the seals had modifications about 2012, but I am uncertain about the exact timeframe.
  6. Applying rubber boots to joints is quite futile, to be honest. It is preferable to use a steroid needle and syringe that is loaded with ATF. In my estimation, I would posit that the source of the noise is the shock absorber emitting a high-pitched sound. Consider using a spraying technique
  7. Consider using T&G or a fall out remover.
  8. The first item in the picture seems to be designed for a left-handed person, but this does not necessarily imply that the module is located on the other side for right-handed individuals like us.
  9. Did you tamper with the antenna diversity module when attaching the back camera? It is positioned in the headliner near the high level brake light. Additionally, please inspect the fuses located below the glove box, namely those related to the central locking mechanism. I believe they are numbered 61, 72, 73, and 79, but there may be many others. Please refer to the accompanying card for verification.
  10. Those tyres are designed for runflats. You haven't mentioned the kind of tyres you have, but even for runflats, I used to maintain a tyre pressure of 36 psi for the front and 38 psi for the back. For non-runflats, I would increase the rear tyre pressure to 40 psi and keep the front tyre pressure at 38 psi. However, this is a matter of personal preference.Although all of mine were equipped with diesel engines and had six cylinders.
  11. Exceedingly excellent news If you experience some jerking or resistance while turning at low speeds or when reversing while turning, it may be due to the usage of tyres that do not match or have uneven wear. Therefore, it is advisable to inspect the tyres and assess their condition.
  12. Regrettably, BMW will insist on replacing the whole transfer case and attempt to persuade you to do so at a significant cost. I am curious whether it is possible to get a rubbing. It may be more convenient to interpret the numerical values.
  13. Autologic is a superior clone. I will attempt to access the ISTA database in order to get workshop instructions. However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to do so until Thursday. Would it be too optimistic to assume that the transfer designation might be simplified to 450? Did he attempt that?
  14. Uncertain about the specific system he was using. However, it is necessary for your Gearbox to be GA8HP707 AWD. Did your Transfer case have two options available at that time, namely ATC 450 and ATC 451? Can you confirm the accuracy of the component number? I am asking because according to Realoem, starting from April 2012, it should be ATC 451.
  15. If the user has INPA/ISTA or any other BMW compatible systems now accessible, they should be in a satisfactory position.
  16. That is sufficient 🤣 Seals are designed to prevent the entry of water, not its retention 🤣 Excellent discovery,.CrawlerTagz I hope you are now operational and functioning.
  17. I presume you are referring about the gearbox support bracket. I replaced mine since the old was very corroded. It took me less than an hour to remove and install the new one. After removing all the bolts from memory 5, I used a tiny jack to support the transfer case and adjust its height in order to facilitate the reinsertion of the long bolt. Ensure that you have removed all the fasteners. There are a few instructional videos available on YouTube.
  18. The majority of your fault codes are associated with the Transfer case. Therefore, they are likely to be reset and reappear if the Transfer fault is not resolved. In my opinion (although it is purely speculative), it is probable that the servo motor has malfunctioned due to being submerged and is no longer functional. Alternatively, the gears in the transfer case may have been stripped. The cost of a fully functional servo motor is around £80, while a set of nylon gears can be obtained for roughly £20. Since you have already removed the covers, I suggest removing the servo motor for testing and inspecting the gears.
