gjm 3258 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 BMW needs cooling system redone as has coolant leaks. (as of last weekend) No sweat, I'll do that this weekend and use my daily. Daily crapped out yesterday. F&*$#&*&*$*#$#@* Favourite coolant leak location for an E46 is the heater matrix. This is the part of the car that the rest of the car is built around. First the heater matrix, then the rear axle, gearbox, the seats, dash and interior, body panels, engine.. You get the idea. Guess what needs to come out to get at the heater matrix?

KwS 2429 Report post Posted May 20, 2016 Thats pretty normal though. Most cars need the dash out to replace the heater core. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2429 Report post Posted June 3, 2016 Trademe. A set of wheels was listed with a buy now of $200. A couple of people as questions, new photos get listed and the buy now goes to $300. Their excuse is that in the time between listing last night and about 11am this morning they have had 4 "new" tires fitted. According to the photos these tires are 13 year old Bridgestone Potenzas. f**k that for a joke, i aint paying more for 13 year old tires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
