[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 631242, member: 13609"] The car ran great for a couple of days when i realise the steering 'groan' whenever i turn the steering at parking speeds ... Open the bonnet lo and behold there's oil everywhere on the front of the engine ... Went back to Autobahn for diagnosis it was the power steering line leaking and you can't see the leak only when the line flex then you can see steering oil jetting out a small stream of oil. Adussss so change the line and i decided to change the power steering oil housing since the filter is integrated into the housing. No pics sorry So everything was fine and dandy until not even one week later while driving i had the battery indicator light on the dashboard ... When back to autobahn and check the alternator is not charging adussssss .... cost of the alternator is RM850 new from Bavarian Auto which honestly surprises me greatly as i thought it would have cost around RM1200 or more.
