[QUOTE="selespeed, post: 9013, member: 1388"] today is an unfortunately day for me. while driving home stuck in a traffic jam, the radiator suddenly popped and the steam came out from the front. it was a loud pop. subsequently water temp. raced upwars to the red zone. i pulled over and found out the release screw had broken. cooled down for a few minutes but drove 5 minutes away to a mobil station to check. fill up with water but didn't seem to fill up. close examination found that the radiator had leaked at the bottom somewhere next to the expansion tank. so left the car in the mobil station and took a bus home. i have been contemplating to get a new radiator but since i am only 10 minutes away from the famous junkyard, it's worth the while to get a used one. furthermore, there is a service workshop in the mobil/esso station i can ask the mechanic to install. is it worth changing to a used radiator? sigh! since may, i have been spending money like crazy, so many leaks, all kinds of leaks. BMW memang banyak makan wang. how true! thanks. [/QUOTE]
