[QUOTE="aoch88, post: 589073, member: 8491"] @Navarone, you mean I can get the HPFP replaced FOC from Auto Bavaria even though mine is a grey import (AP) car? If so then I would be more than happy to get it replaced :p My car's mileage is 21,000 KM when I got it but obviously it has been tampered. Original mileage is not known but I suspect it anywhere between 80K - 100K easily :) It seems that the top engine valve cover stuck is quite a common thing for N53's. There's no reasons for it so far but the ventilation valve somewhere in that cover screwed up so the only way is to replace the whole unit (that's what I have been told by the mechanic). @alantiong, you're absolutely right. Cleanliness of the fuel is based on the European emission standards (EURO-2M, 4, 5, 6, etc) and not the RON level. These are 2 seperate things but I don't know why most people gets confused about it :) They often think RON 97 is cleaner and better for the engine which is definitely flawed. [/QUOTE]
