Recommend A Good Shop to do my Oil Filter Housing Gasket?

delmarco · 02-25-2019, 11:30 AM

I was hoping to go to ZNM Performance in NJ this winter but they have way too many recent complaints against them recorded on this forums from members claiming parts were stolen off their cars and cars were returned with some of the work not done or old parts put back on the car.

Any recommendations of good BMW spots in the tri state area? I also don't want to pay an arm and leg since I've seen what the actual DIY entails.

I would wait until it warms up and DIY it myself instead of paying more than $400 labor.

I'll take em. I'm in Stamford. I can paypal a small deposit if needed or we can schedule pickup via PM.

Sounds good. How late are you up tonight? I work in midtown NYC until 5pm and get home (Westchester) at 6pm I can meet you anytime after then. Check your inbox.

I’ll do it for $250 and I’ll supply parts. I’m in queens.

Followed this guys tips and took about an hour all in all
If you do follow this be careful of coolant leaking out when you remove the housing

Tip - partially drain some coolant first so there's no risk there. Just don't forget to refill and run auto bleed after.
