E90 325i problems

Hi guys,these are some of the problems my friend had on his e90 including solutions to these faults.



1)overheating =replaced waterpump and thermostat(diy)
2)high consumption of oil=oil leaking from vvt motor gasket,valve cover gasket,heat exchange gasket,oil filter housing gasket,replaced all parts and problem solved(diy)
3)misfired=faulty ignition coil
4)major hesitation under hard acceleration=intake vanos solenoid,cleaned the solenoid and change the oil,problem solved
5)broken valve cover bolt=half of the broken bolt just came out easy by using a flat head screw driver
6)hard steering=broken power steering pump,stealers ripped him off R13000

Hope this will help someone out there
