[QUOTE="Herr Odo, post: 715230, member: 43311"] Had my E36 325i serviced by Naidu of Jalan Gasing, PJ last week. Steering rack replaced with used one because it was making a screeching sound as steering wheel turns right. Pump gone, so had whole rack replaced. rear brake discs was thinning so had those changed, with new pads. plus made a number of repairs and changed MF battery DIN66 (Naidu installed a Korean one called Eagle F1 or something like that,,i recalled only the name Eagle. any good?) Never heard of this one .... i could get an AAM-sourced MF battery for RM310. It sounded like the propsshaft towards the rear was making whoo-whoo-whoo sound when car on the move, but joints seem to be okay and Naidu said rotate the tyres first to see if sound goes away. it didn't after doing the rotation at Lim Tayar (RM21). a day later, noticed the hydraulic struts holding up the bonnet were busted so had them changed for RM86 (RM46 each side). Called up stockists Bomin Auto, Bavarian Auto and Suan Huat before that. Cheapest was still Bomin Auto (Segambut, KL, tel: 03-62513613) at RM40 each, Bav Auto wanted RM46 and Suan Huat wanted RM70++, claiming the strut was original.....i may be wrong but first impressions tell me suan huat is a cut-throat stockist. Naidu's is a popular place among BMW car owners, so be prepared to leave your car there for several days if its more than just an oil change, Mine is considered a major repair and took 9 days for me to get back my car. All in bill: RM2140 for May 2014 service. see prices attached. [/QUOTE]
