How are your 320d doing so far?

[joonsuan]

Gosh...waited so long for the kit, now have to wait some more for the replacement fan...

 

[jwah]

I suspect the uprated fan is too strong that will dry up the belt causing the belt to singing. You can feel the strong wind blowing to the pulley/tensioner area.
Most powerkitted have this problem, chit chit chit belt noise. Any powerkitted bro you have this?

regarding noisy belt, it has to do with the belt manufacturer. i tried many brand of belt and i found that Dayco is very quiet regardless in age. any idea what BMW is using? ContiBelt?

Hi Jwah, mine powerkitted. Changed tensioner didi not solve the noise. Two weeks ago changed the belt at Quill, now still good no noise.So the culprit is the belt............

Good to learn about that LeongFS. At least now if I know my belt is singing then I can easily bring it back to say that it could be the belt

 

[jwah]

No all noise from the belt but also the pulley and tensioners. So one b y one. Chit chichit sounds is tensioner
Leong wait for one month then see

Hi Bro. and Sister,

Just have my 1st service under BSRi last week.

The Auto Bavaria changed the engine oil and engine oil filter (I think), but I just seen they ticked beside the engine oil icon on the service booklet, others remained untick.
Was this is the most they do for the first service?

The service adviser told me that the wheel balancing and alighment is not cover under the BSRi, is it true?

Then where is the best place to do that if not BMW service centre?


Cheers

Correct,balancing and alignment not covered.
I make a 5000km interval balancing and alignment at MPS Sunway.
price is on the premium side,but satisfaction guaranteed.

Just did my second non BSRI service @ 75665 km.

Changed:
1. Oil + Oil filter = RM330 (RM162 (Shell HX7E LL04 rated) + RM118 (Oil filter) + RM50 (workmanship))
2. Fuel filter = RM 208 (RM158 (Fuel filter) + RM50 (workmanship))

All ori parts. Done at Setia Auto, workshop just behind Quicksave.

Next up, full ATF fluid change.

i've had my 320D for about 6 months and suddenly today i was unable to fuel up. i've been going to the same station using the same pump/nozzle without issues but today my fuel flap was err kinda stuck. i thought i had accidentally locked the car or smtg like that so the fuel flap wouldnt open but that wasnt it. i was so dumbfounded that i even tried restarting the engine and turning it off kinda like rebooting a pc but still no luck. thank god ive got another 100km worth of fuel left. anyone has any idea whats causing it coz i dont really have time to take it to the SC but that would be the last resort.

 

[namidub]

Have u tried unlatching the fuel flap cover by using a plain screwdriver instead?
Theres a latch on top and the bottom.you just use your plain screwdriver to "lift" the upper latch and the fuel flap shall be unlocked

lude..sure the fuel pump nozzle is the same u used before? all i know is the smaller nozzle which can be found in the older petrol station cant fit into the 320d.

again,the smaller nozzle can be used,with the "trick" i mentioned earlier. i always need to do so when i pump caltex or bhp outside Klang Valley.petronas shdnt have any problems i guess.

namidub,

hv not tried it yet, always forgot to keep a screwdriver in the car. will try on my next trip to jb during raya.

pls correct me if im wrong,

i have to put in the fuel nozzlle and lift the upper latch at the same time right?
meaning the bottom latch will be pushed by the nozzle itself and the upper latch using screwdriver..correct?
