3.0d 160 Kw Engine Cover Removal / Rear 2 allens Keys
Hi all
Thank you for the info on this forum . I have a 2007 3.0d X3 160 Kw which has a engine cover that has about ( I think ) 8 allens keys screws in it and 2 of which are located under (I think its the pollen filter behind the strut brace) how do you remove remove these last two screws ? do you have to remove the entire pollen filter and if so how do you do that ? are their any detailed instructions to do this ? I have a chip to install and need access under the engine cover I have attached a pic of the engine cover as well. Cheers to all |

Do you have a proper Torx bit set?
I can't recall exactly where the rear bolts are, but I can easily remove my Aussie spec 3.0d's engine cover... Where in Oz are you & what chip did you buy? Daz. |

Hi Daz
I am in NSW and got a http://www.ebay.com/itm/300625706864...84.m1439.l2649 I am in NSW I couldnt justify paying 1500 for one here!! Does your 3.0 litre look like mine ? same engine cover ? Torx they use allen keys 3/16".. The back two bolts are under the pollen filter I cant see how to take then out easy. I believe mine has the updated engine cover I was told .. any clues would be appreciated if you know how to take out the pollen filter. Cheers |

Ahh - Right you are!
I have 5 Allen head bolts on my engine cover & you can easily see the corrugated intake hose on the driver's side. Your cover is different to my late 2006 model's! p.s. No offence - But I think you're mad buying that dodgy looking Ebay chip! For the love of god - have your car run up on a dyno post fitment to ensure a safe EGT!!! |

Hi
Yes I may do that I think .. did you know most of the chips are the same and only the cable is different it seems .. this is common with every one .. Also I believe in OZ anyway the 2006 and 2007 are very different.. The suspension and running gear is different and they went from a 150 kw to a 160 kw engine .. Thanks for your time. Cheers |

Rather than hijack the thread I kicked off another thread on this.
