[QUOTE="ssmann, post: 397131, member: 18956"] Gents, Thought I share some news/info on my recent E38 repair. I really dont know how to post a new thread, so included in this thread. Issue: Suspension noise when going over potholes/uneven road surface Solve: Change absorber mounting and damper. Sounds like new, with very little noise on really bad roads. Can't be 100% perfect la unless got S-EDC and pay like RM15k for spares :eek: Issue: ASC/ABS going off in the wet Solve: Faulty cable in the rear, changed. Thanks Han Azman! Lets see if this happens again Issue: Meter pixel gone Not solved: Changed to 2nd hand part. Notice that when the car is cool the pixels display perfect. When hot, or been driving for a while, it slowly fades away!!! Strange....need to bottom this out...so not solved yet Issue: Car sometimes can start, sometimes complete dead on hot start..but lights, etc functioning Solve: 2nd hand starter, seems to have solved the problem. Will monitor Issue: Steering slight wobble, as if bad balancing done Solve: Steering centre rod changed. My tires are old as well, 5 years old. Alot better now, maybe better after tire change The rest were regular wear and tear e.g. flywheel oil seal, ATF drain and replace oil/filter, oil sump gasket change, replace worn bushes and some interior touch up. Hope this helps if you are facing similar problems. Cheers - S [/QUOTE]
