What problems can a BMW X3 have with the transfer case?
Years 2010-2017

Answer

After a tire change, it happens that the car tends to jerk or hit when accelerating or cornering, that is, in all those situations where the wheels do not turn at the same speed. Obviously the light does not come on. The distributor sees that the wheels turn with an unacceptable difference. He treats them as if they are drifting and tries to correct them, even if it is not necessary. This annoying problem can be remedied simply by changing the oil in the transfer case, which is often old and worn. The oil must be of quality, SAE 70W140 to remain stable at high temperatures.
