Expansion Tank:RM156
Labor+Diagnostic:RM150
Done at WP Auto

What diagnostic got to with expansion tank? Its not that hard to replace the tank. Quite steep charges there
 
he cleared some errors which popped up when i removed the center console (wanted to clean the melted rubber) & disconnected the ASC button. Agreed, the service charge was quite steep.

Sign of ZKE module deteriorating: Wing mirror control some time fail; Alarm sometime buzz without any event. Must be some IC chips or transistors got problem.
 
Ahyak.....but new electronic parts feel safer. The new one come with new improved software update. Btw, I already get the CD changer working via Ah Onn. Now he know how to do it for the rest.

Yup I bought them new also but cheaper than yours. Actually its design faulty on the parts. For me i got my old module reconditioned after bought the new one. And the reconditioned one is as good as new as tested for 1 mth in a car. I have no choice but to change new. Even used one from chop shop cost rm700 to rm800. The module is to control all car body function ie central lock. Jialat la only driver side can open manually. I wont spend rm2.3k for that module. E46 is not as complicated as E60 or E90. Anyway anyone need them pls refer below link. Thanks

Thanks aidilj for the link to the great posts on GM V module. Actually I did some layman background reading on this GM V/ZKE module, but after seeing the PCB layout and not too sure about which relay and/or transistor for problem, I took the plunge to order a new module. It come with newer software version 3.3.

Not sure whether this had been posted before, I find this article more layman friendly:

Don't know why it 'kong' so easily, I faced the same problem when I was taking cornering, nearly lost control. Replace pump from chop shop cost RM750.
