Help! - Mike Rudat - 12-20-2006
OUCH!! I break one little plastic piece and the dealer is asking $200 for the part. Since I am in a hurry I said whatever just give me the part. Oh well it still comes to $400 cheaper than what the dealer was charging to get me GF's car running.

Exactly so I don't mind, 10$ was soooo much better than $250 thanks again.

Yep, saves you some cash when you read and turn a wrench a little heh!
I just finshed doing the thermostat housing on my fathers bmw....was the 1st time I ever really worked on the engine (replaced the whole front end on it before) so I was taking my time....took me about 2 hours to get it done, costs were $20 for thermostat, $2 for o ring gasket, $11 for housing gasket, $50 for housing. And now I can change a thermostat on a bmw. :)
Dealership wanted $300 inlcuding parts to do the job. :blink:

Cost and satisfaction are both great things you can get out of doing the job yourself. lol dealership told me I could not change the injectors because I didn't have a special computer???

HAHAHA thats great what the dealership told you Mike, its just another one of those "Stealership" scams. That makes absolutly no sense why you would need a special computer, when people swap injectors in/out all the time. You would need a re-flash/tune if you went from #19 injectors to #42's, but 19's for 19's? Give me a break. Just another reason why I hate dealerships.
