Oil Filter Housing Gasket Leak Repair costs???
Anyone have any rough estimates as to how much this should cost at an indy shop??
Im being quoted $750+ which i believe is pretty steep for this type of service which shouldnt take 4 hours max.

Is this for both gaskets? FCP has the kit for both and associated parts for less than $80. I changed my front gasket in about 30 min. the Rear takes more time and disassembly. So I would liberally estimate 60 min. Therefore, less than 2 hrs. No way it is a 4 hr job. I did an oil and filter change at same time. Any decent Indy shop should only charge about 2hrs of labor and less than $90 for parts. Don't know what your Indy labor rates are in CA. |

Maybe the shops think it is the N20 which is said to take ~4 hours versus a N55 which is less?????

Well, hmmmm... have no idea how long the N55 takes, yet have heard the N20 takes about 3 to 4 hours. We just discovered the wife's 2013 X1 has this problem during oil change at dealership last week. BMW of Sarasota is fixing her N20 for free under recall

Costs me 150 for impact wrench, torx socket kit and gaskets... Still can't believe a shop quoted me 6 hours of labor. Big shout out to Youtube DIY videos and f30post.

It you have an all aluminum housing you’re OK. Early on, Bmw used a plastic filter housing on the N20/26. The plastic units are the ones that are prone to fail. The recall replaces these with the aluminum unit.

I figured, Thanks. I've watched a couple of them. Still can't decide if I want to fork over the $860 with belts swapped, or do it all myself. Don't have a garage and it's pretty cold up in the NE right now for the foreseeable future.
