[QUOTE="haywire, post: 514439, member: 16474"] No update for a while...busy with work. Anyway during the heavy rain yesterday, went through some deep waters, upon arriving home my exhaust was making some weird noise. Sounds like a leak. I thought 'aaaahhh koyak this month' and today morning went to Albert exhaust specialist in Kepong, jacked the car up and check the exhaust system. Fuuhhhhh so lega to discover there's no leak to weld/replace, only the gaskets in between the exhaust part under the driver seat was degraded and leaked. All the bolts and nuts have corroded, upon trying to open them all of them break. Have to burn a bit and knocked it out. Replaced new gaskets and all is good. RM70 fix. Before that went to a mechanic, was advised to change some hoses, thermostat, valve cover seal, oil filter casing gasket. Other than that the engine is fine. Asked him to quote me how much to change the Vanos seal (seal already bought in the GB) but was advised not to touch the Vanos if theres no problem with it. Perhaps do that someplace else then. Also need to replace the all brake parts when the wallet allows. [/QUOTE]
