If you need to top up every two days, there is a leak somewhere.
A compress test will be able to do it.
Another way is to fill the reservoir to the top with water. Run the engine for 5 to 10 minutes.
Shut down engine and check for water droplets at the bottom of the car and trace up to find the source of the leak.
BTW, look for white stain.

From my experience, it starts with one and ends with the last piece of water tube u can find. Then after using it for another 100k km, the whole issue will start again.
If finances permits, do change all and 1k plus is not all that expensive (decent price). For all the tubes that is.
No one said owning a UDM is a cheap affair!

many ppl said that the price is on the high side compared if I buy the items myself, I could have save at least 10-20% lesser.
but no choice as I don't know what parts to buy & don't know whether is the part necessary to change or not.
only my rear brake pads are changed. my front no budget as im using 6pot BMW performance calipers & it costs a bomb to replace :stupid:

Bomin part prices are reasonable. If you go MS Motor at Sg Besi, theirs are inflated by 30 to 40% blatantly.
They also don't like it if you buy parts else where and send it to them for their labour. But so far, MS Motor solves all my problems and some. They are one of the best albeit also one of the expensive ones.
