Bro, radiator is it from Behr? Coz I got mine for just RM500. Not sure if it's the same as yours.

How much would it burn my pocket for complete set (front rear) of msport spring + titan, roughly?

Hi..

Lower arm could be in the region of RM200-300. Kindly refer to the earlier postings for some reference. As for valve seals..I dont think they sell them separately. They usually come together as a top overhaul pack, around RM500ish I believe.

Cheers
 
Have you tried google or search the forum for answer? Have you plug your car to diagnostic tool to check for error code?

have u check with bavarian auto? i did checked with my local spare parts supplier, but the dont have it.
i believe we should get a new/improved chain tensioner.

AS: the one I told u about isnt the timing chain tensioner but the fan belt tensioner...the roung thingy...
