Tis morning while on the way to work, i noticed my RPM flatuating when stop at the trafic light. The car vibrate a bit also. While at the second traffic light, RPM flatuate between 500 to 1000. I quickly went to the office, check and reply urgent email than went to my mechanic. Initial computer analysis review failure of the oxygen sensor before catalatic convertor, my mechanic said sometimes, if the hoses leaks, it will give this kind of signal also. Upon opening it up, it is true a hose is leaking, had it replaced and the car is fine now. 1. Hoses - RM 110 2. Hose clip RM 5 x 4 = RM 20 3. Labor - RM 80 Total RM 210. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?model=AL32&mospid=47631&hg=11&fg=45 he culprit is item 2 in the above link.
- 1 pc water pump $160.00 - 1 pc fan belt $55.00 - 1 pc air-con belt $40.00 - labour/out door service/rescue $120 Total : $375.00 cheap....considering that fact that it saved me having my ride towed. Whole job done at my office carpark within 1/2 an hour.
Just change my aircon cooling coil & aircon gas filter,replace oil for aircon compressor & full refill gas....Total - RM1,353.10
I bought the cooling coil by myself fr Spore. way cheaper SGD$197. the workshop quoted way too expensive RM2,450. So I just pay them their labour with Gas top up & compressor oil RM570 total. & make sure u order gas filter too tht will save u further.. for 320i yah..u hv to open yr whole dashboard...but if yr are 318..u r the lucky lot....as it can be replaced without taken yr out yr dashboard..it take 2 day affair to get it fix. The workmanship are superb as they fix about 30-40 E46 per year so they know how to open/dismantling yr dashboard..& so far there r no funny sound from dashboard while driving ..anyway..318,320,323,328 r sharing the same cooling coil...quite a marvelous enginering from BMW..as one part suit for whole range of model...I mean they really got economy of scale on this... manage to have a short chat with the mechanic who fix up my car..say E46 aircon weakness is on the cooling coil as it is made from aluminium, it easily rotten which cause the leakages of gas..normal life span is 5-6 year for this cooling coil..the workshop is "u need aircon" at ellis road..
