Hi,

2 days ago when heading back from KL to JB suddenly my screen shows engine over heat message and ask me to stop...i dont know what to do that time just stop at R&R and wait for 30 minutes and try start my car again. seems the message is gone i drive back to jb without any problem,but the next day drive to office not even 3 km the message pop up again this time i stop at the road side and call for towing.
After checking my mech said the water pump is very slow thats why the message always pop up.

Change the water pump 1650.00
Change Water hose 165.00
water hose switch 65.00
bmw coolant 56.00
upah 160.00

now already 2 days everything seems ok. Hope will not happen again.

It is just wear and tear, I ve changed the above about 1 year ago and everything back to normal

Ah Fai said Bosch spark plugs.
I wasn't around when they changed the spark plugs unfortunately.

Just sharing the information with you, if they are Bosch Spark Plugs, FGR 7DQP the cost per piece is below RM 20

 

[pc8800]

Wow, big price difference for what is in all likelihood the very same thing.
Thanks for the heads up, information is power.
