X5 Woes...

Hi All,

I have a 2012 X5. 4.4L
I was driving home yesterday and after a "spirited" part of freeway, I pulled off and headed home.
As I pulled off the engine stopped.
I coasted to a halt and tried to start it again. It started but I got an engine fault indicated. A message said that the journey could be completed at reduced power.

I took the car to a repair shop (the same repair shop that replaced my valve seals about 3 months ago) and they have run some tests and they tell me that I need 4 new oil control valves and 2 new Cam Adjustment Units. (one inlet, one outlet).

They're quoting around $2000.

Does that sound right? Four oil control valves? AND 2 adjustment units?

I can't help feeling this is caused by something they did (or didn't do) while they were replacing the oil seals.

Could someone throw some light on this for me, please?

Thanks in advance.

Skoot.
