E60 parts & maintenance

[hamansan]

Hi bro moots...

Yeah.... I thought I read somewhere in your post in Dec 2014 that you replaced your battery for RM550? Big difference with RM720 even including GST if you ask me...

You from BBN?

Hi All,
I was quoted Bosch S5 DIN100 for around RM 480.00. Any comments for those who used Bosch battery before?

Good price for Bosch DIN 100 and should be ok to use.

Pumpkin76 where did you service your car?

I was surprised the M/T gear oil (RM165/L) is more expansive than the fully synthetic engine oil (RM59/L).....

RON 95 will do. check your intake manifold system.

[UnoS]

Yes ron95 is okay... lowest at my fuel cap printed ron91... my car engine type n52

 

[moots]

Gearbox/engine lower cover RM 700 (blardy expensive) but no choice as I have repaired this 3 times already and it still sags as the attachment points koyak ady...and there's only so much my back can take whilst crawling under the car.

pic of old cover

 

[wingzee]

Thought there is a OEM version of the said cover? Something from Taiwan which costs half the price.

 

[Calvin3116]

Thanks Herbet, i've checked my fuel cap there is same with yours,but after i pump Petron Ron95, when i stepped the pedal, the car not going smooth. So i used back ron97 and this problem solved, i just wanna asked whether the ron95 will affect my engine.

 

[Calvin3116]

Bro Herbert, i've tried 1 fulltank of Petronas Ron95, the problems not occur, will see how after few more tanks. Thanks for the info.

Hi Calvin,
Your symptom same as mine, when put back RON97, much more responsive right.... So, i believe is petrol issue, but when i put Shell RON97 less power, so I insist on petronas RON97... :67:
