hey guys,

I'm living at the south side of Brisbane, and would like to know whats the best shop for my car?

I need to check my car's Fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, filter oil and maybe clean the turbo.

Currently I can smell fuel once i switch on my car, dunno whats the main reason.

Also the fuel economy is not good, on a full tank it only does 280km, maybe thats got to do with the O2 sensor or something else.

your help is appreciated guys,

cheers

Yeah there are a few good ones around, the search function would have returned several threads asking the same thing though.

A combo of Elite Racing and EFI Performance in Yatala depending on what they're doing at the time are the choice of a lot of the guys I know. These shops also offer discounts to SAUQLD club members :)

thanks guys I might go and try EFI performance once I get the chance, I just checked the map the shop is in Beenleigh right? Regarding the discount how can I join SA club?

Ty1 ofcourse, but I'm not an expert and I dont have much free time right now.

cheers

From personal experience, Dan from ERD for any mechanical work (top bloke and always ready to help) and Gavin Woods from Autotech for tuning.

The tuning bit might vary according to your ECU. Having said that, if I ever get the car retuned, I might try Matt Spry from Pits.

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
