The fuel pump suddenly give up last morning and the car just refused to start :-( Luckily after a long retry it finally comes alive.
So without any hesitation, i drive my E39 to Heritage (off OKR) to seek help.

After a detailed diagnosis, its confirmed that its not the fuel issue (fuel mixed with water) and its confirmed that the fuel pump has given up on me :-(

Thanks to Yap, the issue get resolved together with some other repairs. Total damage: RM2524 ...
- Fuel Pump (complete set, ori) - RM1400
- Fan Belt - RM160
- Tensional Bearing - RM140
- Idle Bearing - RM80
- Rear Brake Hose x2 - RM100
- Brake Fluid x2 bottle - RM160
- Steering Rack Cover x2 - RM60
- Labour Charges - RM400 (including computer diagnosis)
- Gov Tax - RM24

Had been struggling on whether to change the whole pump or just the core component .. but end up still opt to go for the complete set. So do u think this is a wise decision?

Thanks ..

Regards,
JS

Why changed to a used clutch fan for RM 200 whereas new one is only RM 220?

Say goodbye to the workshop, we hate this type of workshop! They can never give u good and honest opinion, only looks for money.

New fan clutch is 210 from Bomin Auto....

Bro ariff, call around first before you commit to any repair work in the future.

Call friends, then check prices in either Bomin, BA, Suan Huat, Inner Power etc to compare the prices.

Keep the phone numbers ready in your phone so you know next time.

Hi everyone, I'm new.
I just sent the 528i e39 to factory (while driving will automatic switch off engine, side mirror gone,engine oil leaking,changing armrest, airbag of seat problem...)
15 years car. Thinking to get it a new paint.
How much if I paint all, and just the exterior? Anyone give me a idea?
Thx

24xxxx km, what engine oil should I treat to it?

My E39 just clocked 333,000 KM and the engine has only been treated with Fully Synthetic 5W40 since released from the showroom.

So depending on what your past history of your car is (what engine oil it was using), i would think it's better to continue using that grade (semi synth or fully synth). I don't see a reason for the switch from semi to fully if your car has been using semi all this while. Save that extra dough for something else.

I'm not sure what the engine oil it has been treated...maybe lousy oil or what ..
so..now giving it fully??
And the headlight needs to change a new one. Can't see while driving at night, where to buy? eBay?
