i know that uneasy feeling whenever there is oil stain on the floor bro. but this one looks like quite much. you recently changed your GB oil or what? maybe the pan is not properly sealed back?

Yes Bro, last month a week before Pangkor drive I hv change the GB oil + pan + filter....

but how come only after few weeks it's leaks? If not seal properly should immediately start leaking kan... :hmmmm2:

Last time my e46 power steering oil leaked but never saw any stain on the floor. Until after I went to a relative's house and parked my car on their driveway, which is on a slight slope. Guess what, the oil start dripping onto the floor. The undercarriage cover was holding the oil all this while. Checked the power steering fluid reservoir, left about 1/4 oil. I think it is similar case as yours. Maybe because the car was stagnant for significant period of time, the oil kept adding until the cover can no longer hold it and start dripping onto the floor. Maybe all this while the oil dripped onto the road because you're driving the car. My guess it could be a small leak that just builds over time.

but still need to pay for the rubber gasket replacment for rm100. i hv argue that is their parts problem... but just waste of my time only... the sealing sleave is rm95... little bit expensive compare from BA. ZF6 GB oil hv to top up for 1liter rm60... at BA you could get it for below RM50 per liter....

still kene charge for upah pasang mechatronic sealing sleave RM120... no discount given for upah....

Improper tightening of the screws at the AFT plastic oil pan is the most common cause of leak. ZF manual recommend that torque wrench is to be used to ensure a proper installation.

this 2nd time GB job also they did not use tork wrench.... alamak.... hopefully no more leaks laaaa......

maybe the mechatronic sleeve small leaks only cerita saja... bcoz i cant see it clearly

yesterday and today morning after car park overnight, I found very light oil stain on my porch...... suspected from gearbox again.....haiyaaaaa wat lah.... really make me down.... should i go back to them?

 

[hunter]

Bro,
Don't waste your time with the incompetent workshop. Just send your car to Ingress Auto at Damansara and leave there for a day or two so that they can perform proper RCA which most workshops do not have that capability.
By the way, may we know the name of the incompetent workshop?

yesterday my car hv difficulties to start... 1 st button push only steering column adjust to preset driving position... engine no crank.. .. 2nd button push steering column back to upper position... engine no crank... 3rd push button... engine crank... but take sometime to crank... like insufficient tonic power to turn the starter motor..

2. Inner power... ori battery e60 90ah also no stock... estimate quote rm1k lebih
3. Bomin offer Bosch battery DIN100 they said equivalent.. estimate quote RM800....
4. At the end call Wearnes Autohouse... ori battery e60 have stock... estimate quote + installation + 10% discount RM12++...

Finally did it at Wearnes.... for ori battery...
I have read around.. found some non ori battery will give trouble to our car sensors / electrical system due to diffrent AH..... some said non ori last only up to 2-3 years.. while ori battery could be use up to 6 - 7 years and our car need the new battery to be register...

The old battery

Quick tips by SA, we can check that the original battery terminal is engrave with year installation... year 2007 (wow, last up to 6 years after out from assembly line)... and confirm by SA from car service record history in their system...

At the end... total actual cost is RM1217.25 for diagnose+ new ori BMW 90AH battery + register new battery to the car electrical system + 10% discount..

feel slightly vibration only when driving at 120kmh......not at slower or higher speed.. then go for alancing.... end up repair all 4pcs rim... they said rim bengkok...


repair + Balancing 1pc rm90b (both front wheel done on wheel balancing)
total 4pcs RM360

result okay but not perfect .... maybe the bangla skill not there yet... any advise to make the vibration gone?
