[QUOTE="pam312, post: 722979, member: 25403"] To all sifus....i am actually confused over the brake rotor size for 525 and 530 here's some background..... my engine clocked some 200k km and lately....the engine oil has been diminishing fast....like every 2000km to 3000km, i need to top up a liter....on top of that....the tuppets have been getting noisier by the day....esp early morning or cold start engine power also reduced so did an engine check at my regular mech....took the engine down and open up....with thoughts of doing an overhaul first....apparently the oil pump is not working well enough second, the camshafts are scratched badly.... the piston rings are gone, the pistons and cylinder wall are worn too.....although they can be polished so my mech recommended i put in a full 3.0engine which is cheaper than doing a full overhaul coz my gb also about time so after comparing the costs and also checking out a few other known mech...seems putting in a 3.0 is the more viable option but here's the confusion part....i checked several websites....the brake size for 3.0 and 2.5 is different, with 3.0 slightly bigger but my mech told me its the same size the half cut that i bought, also had the same size so is it really same size or it should be different... the half cut i did check the vin and engine numbers....they are 3.0 as registered [/QUOTE]
