[QUOTE="mielo86, post: 567115, member: 23417"] Just done some service at Autobahn in Sunway...after jacking up the car notice water trace come out from the bottom of the radiator...the mech suggest to change mount plate ,pipe connector and the radiator it self (i wish i know how to upload picture)..decided to change only the mount plate and pipe connector and not the radiator because just changed last time in September...hope this will settle my problem once and for all. As for the engine oil lost, the mech suggest me to change engine oil from 5w-40 to thicker 15w-40 due to ageing engine (12 year already maa..) ..was so happy that i did not have to do top overhaul..total lost for the service done was RM825 (inclusive oil change, filter, bearing and emblem) The sad and frustrating part was that the radiator (Behr) have already leak although i've just changed it last September. The quality of the OEM is worst in my opinion, even cuntchill and proton part are more reliable. The same goes for the termostart (Behr also) ive change back in September..the part are expensive but the quality was so bad..hope BMW will take action on this matter...if they let this continue, for sure it will scar their reputation.:thumpdown: [/QUOTE]
