M5 V10 Bearings and some more

[Peter@AEW]

This car has some 88000Kms and was recently sent up from George on Anthony's recommendation.
Thank you Anthony.

Owner has done some work on the exhaust and it is by far the most glorious of soundtracks that it plays.
I collected the car from Ferrari Johannesburg and the salespeople there were in awe of it.
Given the sound of the Ferraris that these guys get to hear on a daily basis it really says a lot about this specimen.

The car was accepted even though the owner is a CHEETAHS supporter.
Exhibit A.







More to follow as work progresses.

You have all the fun Peter, Lets see what 88000km bearings look like :=):

 

[Peter@AEW]

Stripped the plenum so that I may secure the engine support bar and at the same time will do a little housekeeping on the actuators which are a known weakness as well as plugs and a few bits and bobs



Old actuator gears with the wear quite evident in the form of black dust on the white gear.

Yes brought in a few sets. Have 1 set left and more on the water/air.

Peter, would you recommend doing this preventatively prior to any errors occurring ? I'm keen on this

Yes it would be better as when the gears wear it will cause issues with the board and that will be a bigger repair bill.

Moe gears are different on the e46

I second Peters recommendation. Get the gears replaced as a preventative measure. By the time the gears are truly worn, it starts to cause damage of the h-bridge on the control unit. Then replacing gears doesn't help anymore.

Those bearings look way better than mine did at 92000km if those images are of the worst.
