►No matter how well the xDrive system was designed, the BMW X3 transfer case actuators do fail and will need to be serviced or replaced.
There are a few BMW X3 transfer case symptoms you might notice when it begins to fail. One of the first and most glaringly obvious signs is if you've noticed the 4x4, ABS, brake, or all three symbols illuminate on your dash; this could be a sign that your transfer case actuator gears are starting to fail. Another symptom that's less obvious is that you may also hear a clicking noise when putting the transmission in gear.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo doesn't just replace the transfer case actuator gears, he begins by replacing the transfer case fluid. We recommend using only BMW transfer case fluid (DTF1) which you can find here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-...
After this job is complete, you're going to want to have the BMW X3 transfer case reset. The adaptation values will need to be reset with a laptop running BMW ISTA, or by bringing it to a dealer/shop that can do this for you.

What stops the plastic gear from coming out while the worm gear is still in place? It would seem the only reason to take the motor out is to make it easier to clean the worm gear. Perhaps dremel tool with a small grinder would be better than breaking the casting.

@motorpsychohead 2 года назад

I bought the car a year ago and I changed the gear, new fluid and the car ran fine. Now a year later the abs, 4x4 and tpms lights are on. ABS would apply every time I brake and the car hesitates like it's gonna stall then seconds after the tpms light comes on, that's when DSC system is disable ! The car runs fine after but without DSC and ABS, 4x4 and tpms lights come on. I changed to new 4 abs sensors but no fix. I have to take the abs fuse out to stop the abs to act up. Now I am just driving with bunch of lights on the dash, no abs and don't know if 4x4 still work or not! I also changed to the new actuator !

@allstar98134 Год назад

First off; thank you so much for the information; I was able to but the new gear for $11 on Amazon; spent an hour removing and replacing it with little difficulty; Here is what’s odd though; at first the warning lights were off, but came back on the next day; I pulled it out again; I believe that I did everything right; but I suspect that the actuator motor is having trouble turning the gear in the transfer case. Because after driving twice, the new gear is already damaged. Any suggestions on what to do next? Thank you for any suggestions.

@fcpeuro Год назад

Hi All-Star, it sounds like you may have an issue with the motor or the case itself. More diagnosis will be needed in order to determine the issue. You may want to consider resetting the adaptations if youhaven'tt already.

That will all depend on how far gone your plastic gear is. If you have a loud clicking coming from it, we would suggest getting the vehicle towed. This X3 had just started to fail (audibly) so it was still in ok shape to drive into the shop for filming.

Question(My 2007 x3): My transfer case was changed to a used one and it removed the ABS/Brake/4x4 lights from being on. Now I hear a scratching sound from the back that was NEVER present before. Do you have a professional opinion what could be happening or what could be checked?

@fcpeuro 2 года назад

Hi Guillermo, the best thing to do is start with the easiest, which would be to check the heat shields. There is a good chance one was bent out of the way and is touching something while driving. Otherwise, a more deep inspection will be needed to ensure everything was secured properly, fluids were topped off, and of course that the replacement case is healthy. Crossing our fingers it is just a shield!

Hi Bradley, good question! As Mike mentioned in this video, the vehicle just started showing signs, so it continued to drive fine after the repair. On a highly affected vehicle, it would certainly be critical to reset the values. If you have the tools to do so, you can also do it, needing it or not.
