[QUOTE="spikyone, post: 313402, member: 6071"] Just to update..oh Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslim forummers Just an update, haven't been on this site for a while...car's doing fine, except now there's a slight weeping oil pump seal and my power steering rack is still weeping although mech said just to check fluids regularly to monitor the leakage and if it drops rapidly to come in and change straightaway, right now its not very bad, just drops. Well, I did change the spark plugs and what a difference it makes!! Shoulda done it earlier!! Gonna do the oil pump seal soon, dunno yet abt the steering rack. Must be all that "sport" mode driving..sigh. Been following the oil prices in M'sia and I really admire you all daily drivers paying RM2++ /L. Oh anyone ever encounter this? I noticed at idle, the exhaust only emits exhaust gasses from one pipe (our 328 runs a stock twin outlet exhaust??) I'm a bit worried there is a blockage somewhere that might eventually cause overheating of exhaust system. When the car was on the rack, I noticed the pipes from catalytic converter onwards was a bit pinkish. Does the 328 have exhaust bypass valves within the muffler itself eg to conserve fuel/sound etc? Was in front of a 325 just now on the roundabout with an excellent sound like a V8, turns out when he overtook me it had what looked like a REMUS system...if my exhaust muffler got problem maybe can change to that or swap for a M3 muffler? Any side effects to the auto gearbox?? [/QUOTE]
