[QUOTE="asahiyakuza, post: 338508, member: 13397"] Actually my problem start because of the engine bad vibration. This is due to the very bad condition of the engine mounting. My problem was not solve entirely but the changes is just to make sure my car survive until the next visit. LOL. 1) Loud knocking sound is solved when engine started in cold condition - coming from the tensioner & tensioner bearing 2) The engine temperature is normal for BMW actually. The engine oil warning is actually because of the faulty engine oil level sensor(will be change on next visit).Engine vibration solved after the engine mounting is changed. Ah Meng also do the engine timing for my car. 3) Diesel engine sound come from inside the engine and still a mystery as Ah Meng need to check the engine thoroughly and that day I came a bit late, so very limited time. Will do it next visit. 4) Engine oil depreciate issue comes from leaking that was everywhere(cause by the vibration) - oil slump, valve cover, hoses...etc.. There no major leak but still it cames from many places(will definitely do this on next visit). Ah Meng give a tour on my car - even inside the engine and we found a lot of issue. The previous owner didn't maintain the car as it should be. The are a lot of carbon inside the engine - sign of a bad car services history, the hoses is in a very bad condition - leak only is covered by tip tape,worn bushes, worn mounting.. etc. I was too excited to get a UDM that i didn't check this important.. important thing properly(padan muka aku!!). So I'm sharing so any person want to get a UDM/car - not to do what i've do.. The condition is bad even Ah Meng suggest to change the engine.. (T_T)... we'll see about that... [/QUOTE]
