[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 438847, member: 13609"] To make long story short my water outlet hose went kaput and based on [url]www.realoem.com[/url] i should buy the shorter one in the pics but in fact since i have winter package in my ride it will be longer since it connect to the heater lol. The bottom piece is what the online ETK showed I had ( Part No : # 11531436410) but apparently NOT lol But since mine had the winter package the water hose outlet is longer connecting straight from the expansion tank to the heater. Part Number is # 64 21 8 376 153 [IMG]http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/beemmer/Maintenance/SDC15073.jpg[/IMG] So since i didn't want to tow to my regular mech and spend more money i called up DM Autowerke ([url]www.dmautowerke.com[/url]) which does house calls plus the proprietor is a good buddy of mine :D He opened the cabin filter in a jiffy to access the other end of the hose [IMG]http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/beemmer/Maintenance/SDC15071.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/beemmer/Maintenance/SDC15076.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/beemmer/Maintenance/SDC15072.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/beemmer/Maintenance/SDC15074.jpg[/IMG] Done installing the hose!!! [IMG]http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/beemmer/Maintenance/SDC15077.jpg[/IMG] After installing the hose we fill up water in the expansion tank and start the engine ... But it was still leaking "arrrgggghhhhhhhh" the expansion tank had crack on the side wall.
