e39 Parts and Maintenance Cost

[bmw7833]

will think about it and will let u know latest by end of next week..thanks bro for the offer..

BTW off topic a bit..i heard that insurance company will only cover 3rd party when your car's age reach 20 years (from manufacturing date)...
So u guys know any insurance company that would cover 1st party as well even your car age reach that limit?
*Im using etiqa takaful maybank

I renew under etiqa after many years with OAC. Still able to get comprehensive coverage.

A stupid question. Where do you purchase E39 wipers ? I bought a set of standard BOSCH, and it wouldn't fit ! gosh.... need help urgently. Car is running without wipers now... luckily its been hot these days.

 

[moots]

wipers meaning the wiper blades yes?

bav auto sells them @ rm120 if I remember right.That was the first and last time I bought wiper blades from anybody.After that I buy re-fills....much cheaper.I get off the shelf ones from supermarkets...silicon ones and reuse the blade frame...cheap at rm 30++ for the pair.

Refills? The rubber didn't slide out... I need to pry one of the end lockers to free the rubber And slide the new Bosch rubbers in and relock it back... It's almost like a mod job. Now I just need to buy 1 side.

Bought 1 set new, RM80 from BA. they do not sell 1 pc. As I've modified 1 side for the refill. Now I have a spare 26"... if anyone wants, PM me

ahah.....there's yr problem.when you put yr finger kat vent tu ada rasa suction x?klau rasa...yr diaphragm dah bocor and needs changing.

the reason yr engine macam nak mati when the vent is closed is becoz the engine has adapted to the leak.try closing the vent for a bit and let the idle system re adapt itself.klo it stabilises after awhile....then yr ccv memang dah bocor....update us bro....

Changed the ccv...viola! no more rough idle...

been having this itermediate jerking mainly during idling and acceleration from stand still for a couple of months. all of a sudden, last night, it jerks non stop. went to the workshop this morning and diagnosed to be ignition coil #4. had it replaced and walah, smoother idling and more power. paid rm195 for the coil.

 

[haywire]

Is that M52 coil? M54 ignition coil can be bought at BA for RM82 each only.

If ABS indicator lights up...anything to worry?

 

[antiquer]

It means your abs is not working.. check your abs sensors..

If ABS indicator lights up...anything to worry?

itu trifecta ada light up juga?

each wheel has a wheel speel sensor.if any one of them rosak,the abs light will come on.again....the PAsoft 140 scanner is very usefull...

Moots,
I opened the e-bay link you provided. How do you connect the PA Soft scanner to the BMW engine terminal ? I notice that the engine terminal uses a large round connector (covered with a plastic cap) and there are many pins inside.
Thanks a lot.
