Great info here. I plan doing front/rear diff, transfer case &
Transmission fluid sometime this month. X5 currently sitting at 102k. No issues so far. Just servicing due to high miles. |

Curious for those that have done this job, who also removed the bracket that is in the way of the fill plug? The long bolt that holds the bracket across the transfer case bushing is hard to undo. Any tips?

Requires like 200gb of space and a cable to connect to your car. Worked well for me and only cost £10 for a cable. |

That’s the hardest way to do the job, so likely not much great advice floating around. Just make a stubby from a 14mm allen and be down with it.

Great post, thank you. Local indy mechanic did mine but he did not clear the code. Fault code 440102 Transfer Box (VTG): Oil Wear. I tried to clear the code myself using the Foxwell NT510 Elite scanner. I did the recalibration with the scanner twice. Also tried to simply delete the fault code without success. Any suggestions?

Fault 440102 = "Detection of high wear of the transfer box oil as of a kilometre reading of 150,000." Are you confident that you tech used the correct fluid? And are you certain that there is enough fluid? The Xfer case doesn't hold much fluid - I could see the too little fluid or the wrong oil could cause unintended slip resulting in throwing an "oil wear" code. |

Sorry for my slow response. Xfer fluid was definitely oem. Been having problems with the car completely shutting down while driving including all electrical. Been dealing with one code at a time. Started with egr valve (replaced under safety recall by dealer), transfer case oil change and ddm(?) main relay switch replaced by indy mechanic. Latest code is 25EE00 - short circuit. Back to dealer tomorrow. Sorry to the group for my rant.

18mm Socket on the rear side of the cross member - I find it easiest to remove first, then the six bolts holding the cross member. You can easily push the transmission up as necessary. I measured the distance to ground and made a L shaped piece of wood to support the transmission on the metal where the transfer box connects. Do NOT support it from the pan, it's all plastic.

I have a (Foxwell) schwaben 12040sch scan tool, it shows options for VTG transfer box service but not necessarily reset adaptions for it. anybody got any info on this scan tool? or will resetting the transfer box control unit do the same thing?

Will it work otherwise? Maybe. But $140 tool to save a $4k part seems prudent. |
