[In your pic DSCN4301.jpg on the rear sunroof drain tubes what is that rubber tube in this pic. It is in front of the panel you were removing but is it part of the drain system that could be disconnected here and something run in both directions to clear the tube? Is there a similar tube on the driver side? Thx

cubed, this "ride griper" drove before purchase. The problem, which I admit freely was mine alone, was I didn't drive it on the nasty pavement, potholed streets, and crushed freeway lanes that cause the problem. On smooth asphalt it rides a treat, but stand by when you get to the nasty stuff! At 49K miles I have just replaced my Scorpions with the Michelin Sport A/S (I have the factory 18" option, and...

As we don't have any experience with an IAT problem, I did a quick search. It would appear that Hyundai gets more than its fair share of the P0112 code. I am attaching a test procedure that I think is generic, and was given by some helpful person to a Hyundai owner. I claim no responsibility for the content, wording or usefulness of it, but it may be helpful in seeing why a dealer might charge quite a bit to do all these continuity...

X3 Bluetooth Retrofit

Ebay for ULF or TCU. Bimmernav for mic and pairing button. The button isn't but like $15. If you don't want to spend the $15 try to pair without one and buy it later if you can't.

All I can think of is:
- there was more than 1 code read initially, but they only told you about the IAT one
- in testing the old one, do you know for sure what the correct ohm range is from C to H?
- given that the old and new sensors are both fine, did the connector look clean enough?
- if the code did not clear on its own within a few days, it could just need a forced ...

We don't have that problem. I don't know if it's because we have the aero kit that has the extra piece at the bottom of the hatch that weighs it down a bit, but it has always shut easily.

You can use the M sport steering wheel that was designed for the X3. Think and grippy, but M-sport steering wheels in general are not heated.
You can use a 3-spoke, heated sport steering wheel from a facelift E53 X5. You can also use the sport steering wheel steering wheel, not heated.

I don't think you'd want to replace the entire steering column mechanism and control unit just for the sake of making parking easier. That's thousands of Euros of surgery.

gary, if you can find something to alleviate the spine shattering, kidney crushing ride of the X3 you will have found the Holy Grail! I have been looking, Yahooing, Googling, and found nothing. Please post if you find the coil overs help, there has to be something out there.

Seems a bit high for one without the Sport Pkg. You also didn't note if it had premium sound, bluetooth, aux input, cd changer, cargo cover, size wheels or Xenon headlights. These are all things that impact value. Ask for a copy of the original invoice which will show you exactly which options it has. Also ask to see a complete service history which can come in handy down the road for any ...
