AUTOMATIC GEARBOX PROBLEMS
Are the gear changes on the automatic gearbox poor? Is the car surging? Are you having delays in the acceleration, instead of accelerating smoothly? This can mean that the clutch is slipping and the gearbox needs to be rebuilt. If the gearbox must be rebuilt, it is probably cheaper to purchase a replacement gearbox. We can help you to find a replacement gearbox, at a very reasonable price, too.
STEERING PROBLEMS
Have you noticed that your steering is wandering to one side, instead of staying in a straight line? Has the steering become poor on your car? If you answer yes to one of these questions, or both of these questions, then you might have a problem with the power steering box on your hands. Replacing the entire power steering box will likely fix the steering issue and have you back to driving like yourself in no time. It might also be the case that your wheel alignment is off, in which case it can be easily checked and repaired by your trusted repair center.
EXHAUST RATTLING
Can you hear a rattling noise coming from the exhaust? If this seems to be most noticeable when the engine is cold, these are warning signs that the exhaust and possibly even the catalytic converter are about to fail. You will need to replace the exhaust and maybe even the catalytic converter, in order to completely fix the problem for the long-term. Exhaust rattling can be particularly annoying, and even a hazard in the case the exhaust is loose and may leave your BMW 8 series entirely by chance. Regarding the exhaust rattling issue, it’s best to determine and fix the problem by means of visiting a trusted service repair center for your particular model.
V8 ENGINE PROBLEM
The V8 engine of the 8-Series has known problems with the engine misfiring and poor running. The engine should be having a consistent idle, but when misfiring the rev needle instead jumps up and down. This is caused by the Nikasil engine block, suffering from bore wear. This can mean that some new pistons and a new block are required, which can be very expensive. This is a well known problem on this car. Important to note, is the fact that this particular repair can be very expensive and on most occasions you are best to purchase a replacement engine. We want to help you to find a replacement engine, at a price that will make you smile.
