Thanks for this video! I had the VGT Oil Wear error code that stayed on after the oil service. The Schwaben Scanner, also known as Foxwell NT510 (~$150) can reset transfer case adaptation. I just found the path and completed this on my 2007 X3. First, in the Main Groups select SERVICE. Then select DRIVE. Then select TRANSMISSION CONTROL VTG. Then select OIL Change. Then you will see text stating to turn ignition on and do not start engine, select OK. The you will see text stating that next step is adaptation, select OK. I could hear mechanical movement under the vehicle. After this. I cleared the oil wear error code and it has stayed off.
Great video. Where do you get the software and scanner that you used to reset after the fluid change? Also, do you have a link for the service manual you are using?
I did this fluid change a few months ago. No computer resets or calibrations at that time. I have DIS v57, but my error codes would not reset for the VTC. So odd. I will try again with everything at operating temps. Any ideas? Also how did you get to the reset and calibration screen? I can get to the part where you select oil change. Then it appears to do nothing when I click on it. Do you click a button at the bottom after? Is the vehicle running when you're doing this calibration/oil change reset?
Clutches are worn out but try new bridge seal in gear box drop OUT mechatronics and also changed 4 tube seals and hopefully it should be ok ish drop out oil and reuse if bridge seal is cracked
Hi . I did calibration on my f25 X3 yet when i do it in the morning when car is cold and when i do it when oil is hot i get 3 degrees different value . Which is correct . Hot or cold ?
@@edwardarquillo8922 That’s a bit more complicated, as you really should drop the pan for the transmission, replace all the bolts and the gasket, and the built-in filter. There’s also a complicated procedure where you need to turn the car on and let it run for a few minutes so that the transmission fluid rises to a certain temperature and then you fill it up so that the fluid drips out of the fill hole.
Question, would this solve a 4x4 light? Or should I rebuild the transfer case? Because when I bought the car it had the 4x4 light on but absolutely no symptoms of anything wrong. A few months later the three lights came on and I had a friend use the laptop and he got everything to turn off for about a month and only the 4x4 light came on. Then I changed the gear in the solenoid and drove a few more months and now the car is acting as if one wheel is binding or I could imagine it’s like what a welded differential-would kind of preform, where you weld it so your car drifts better. I hear trying to turn with that is a pain. Anyways I can’t take the god awful noise it makes when turning and moving. Hopefully this provides you some kind of idea on the possible cause that maybe if you see this you could answer Thanks in advance. Great video by the way maybe I should try this as a cheaper alternative to just going for rebuilding it because honestly that doesn’t sound like fun AT ALL.
I had the same problem I figured out that it was not the transfer case but the transfer case actuator its right next to it. You take it off and replace the plastic wheel and add some grease to it and the 4x4 will go away
USE PLASTIC WHEEL REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR TRANSFER GEAR ACTUATOR wheel , NEVER USE METAL ONE. Metal one causes all the errors and is very heavy and not well cut.Theres a reason why BMW chose plastic, not Metal for their actuator in the transfer gearbox.USE PLASTIC I WENT THROUGH HELL DIAGNOSING MY CAR AFTER I REPLACED THE PLASTIC ONE WITH METAL. USE PLASTIC!!!
Hi, should I use the software after the transfer case oil change on my X5 E70 4.8i from 2007?? Thanks for your assistance . Greetings from France🇫🇷🥖 Peter
@@MiggyM3 Carly will cost you money. DIS V57 can be had for free. You'll need to closely follow the install instructions as it runs in a Vware virtual environment on your laptop. Mine ran on an old laptop but I had to install the software on a 128gb USB stick as I didn't have enough HDD memory. I guess weigh your time or learning vs plugging in and going with Carly.
Search for prices around the internet. You can get good deals any time. Just need to search. I found prices around 22 USD for FEBI oil (here in Europe). Price per 1L. Also you don't need to buy a new VTG if you brick yours. Just source another used one, do a full rebuild, install, fill with oil and be happy. Will cost you less than 1000 USD (IMO around 500-800 depending on buying prices).

I have a 2004 BMW X5 3.0 I just change the transfer case oil because it was leaking from the drain plug. do I have to reset it on a computer?

Does the 2004 bmw x3 2.5l 4d SUV require the computer to be reset after fluid changes done to the differential and transfer case?
Yes all x3 and x5 require it. Differential no, but TC yes.
@@BluePurpleRed Thank you my friend
Was your x5 transmission shuddering? Is that why you changed the fluid? If so, did this help?
Clutches are worn out but try new bridge seal in gear box drop OUT mechatronics and also changed 4 tube seals and hopefully it should be ok ish drop out oil and reuse if bridge seal is cracked
It was not, it was just normal maintenance work.
What manual are you using?

Great video so do you also need to do the rear transfer case and how much oil do you need?
Until it runs out the fill hole. I think they are roughly the same capacities.
Hi. Is mobil1 GL 75W-90 equivalent to this oil for bmw x5 e53 diesel?.
Great video, thank you! Question, is software/reset required for 2006 4.8is?
Yes!
Why?
@@BluePurpleRed Can u tell me how can i fill up the transmission oil with a new oil. BMW X5 2006 E53.

I have the exact same models!! 😊
Would it make damage to the transfer case if I don’t use the software on my 06 X5 3.0
Don't need to should be ok dont worry
Thanks for the information i appreciate it
Is the transfer case towards the front or rear of the vehicle
Yes, it's a large metalic "case" with a drive shaft going to the front wheel differential
How did you tighten the drain plug to 24 foot lbs. If you cannot get a socket on the bolt head. As you said "no room"??
This video was filmed years ago, I don't recall. There is a good chance I tightened it by feel. Don't beat yourself up over it.

It may be the ABS not the transfer case. You may need to reactivate your ABS. Why don't you use a scanner it'll tell you what's wrong.

@@alisuger i tried that that was my first thought but the 4x4 never went away. Do you have to clear it with a scanner? Or it automatically shuts off?
Transfer fluid 1l or 700ml ?
I used about 800ml on my transfere case

Yes, it tells the car how much lock up to use on the clutch plates.
Older bmws dont need this software adjustment all you need to do is drive any lights will switch them self of 100%
Sure, which older ones though? My understanding is the E46 and E53 model years have the same style xDrive systems and therefore need software reset.
2002 x5 3.0 doesnt need a reset…
Hi whats the name of software??
Look up on Ebay BMW ISTA software.
What program do you use in the computer.?
Search Ebay for ISTA BMW and you can find software that does it.
He is using DIS v57 by the look of it and not ISTA or INPA.
What software are you using on your laptop?
DIS v57 is what he is using.
@@mr2_mike Would you recommend using this software or the Carly app and scanner? Thanks
@@MiggyM3 Carly will cost you money.
DIS V57 can be had for free. You'll need to closely follow the install instructions as it runs in a Vware virtual environment on your laptop.

What software did you use?
INPA - you can search eBay for BMW repair software, they typically come from Romania.
Its the software really needed?
Yes, it is. It's the only way to tell the computer that the fluid is changed so that it can reset the clutch for the transfer case.
Quavanti Hart so with my 2003 3.0 petrol E53 I can just change the fluid without having to use any software
Quavanti Hart thanks really appreciate it!
You're out of your mind. No way would I pay $57/qrt. Insane. No way to justify that price...
$57 for oil, or $3000 for new transfer case.
Search for prices around the internet. You can get good deals any time. Just need to search. I found prices around 22 USD for FEBI oil (here in Europe). Price per 1L. Also you don't need to buy a new VTG if you brick yours. Just source another used one, do a full rebuild, install, fill with oil and be happy.
